Hitler’s heirs.
The boycott Jews movement — Boycott, Divest, Sanction [Israel] movement — is this century’s Nazi movement only on a global scale. Same tactics, same viciousness, same lies, same thuggery as the Germans employed in the years preceding the Holocaust. The Nazis called for Germans to boycott Jewish-owned businesses (ie Kristallnacht). This was the direct antecedent to the BDS movement.
Ilhan Omar seizes spotlight to push pro-BDS resolution
By: Al Monitor, July 16, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementHouse Democrats today rallied around a resolution to condemn President Donald Trump’s racist tweets against four high-profile freshmen congresswomen.
But at least one of those congresswomen — Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — is about to drop her own resolution that may not go over so well with Democratic leadership. Her resolution would defend the pro-Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”
The Minnesota Democrat noted she intends to introduce the bill early this week. At the same time, Democratic leadership plans to advance another nonbinding resolution condemning the BDS movement on Wednesday.
Omar and her colleague — Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — became the first and only lawmakers to support the BDS movement after winning their elections last year. Republicans have repeatedly seized upon their pro-BDS stance to paint the Democratic Party as anti-Israel — something that was not lost on Donald Trump during his multiple Twitter tirades targeting both congresswomen.
After tweeting that Omar, a Somali American Muslim refugee, and Tlaib, a Palestinian American, should go back to their countries alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Trump invoked Israel to justify his remarks. At multiple points, he insisted that they “hate Israel” and quoted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said that “they talk about Israel like they’re a bunch of thugs, not victims of the entire region.”
And while Trump’s racist remarks unified Democrats and allowed them to paint over high-profile spats that had emerged between the party’s leadership and the four progressive congresswomen last week, Omar’s resolution could once again put the intra-party divisions on full public display.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., has so far resisted Republican calls to kick Omar off of the panel. But he has previously accused Omar of “invoking a vile, anti-Semitic slur” after she said, “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Her remarks prompted the House to pass another nonbinding resolution condemning anti-Semitism and Islamophobia 407-23 in March.
On Wednesday, Engel’s committee will vote on an anti-BDS resolution, introduced by Reps. Bradley Schneider, D-Ill., and Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. The resolution was a priority for American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) activists during their annual lobbying day earlier this year. The committee also plans to vote on a military aid bill that codifies the $38 billion, 10-year memorandum of understanding with Israel into law — another AIPAC priority.
While both bills still have more than enough support to pass, Omar told Al-Monitor that she intends to vote no.
Omar’s lone voice of opposition marks an end to years of bipartisan precedent that allowed similar legislation to sail through both the House and Senate unopposed. Both chambers easily passed a similar military aid bill by voice vote last year but ran out of time to resolve minor differences in the House and Senate versions.
Additionally, last year the House Foreign Affairs panel unanimously passed the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, which would allow the Trump administration to implement anti-BDS regulations for businesses and their employees that could carry criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
After the American Civil Liberties Union and several liberal advocacy groups highlighted free speech concerns with the anti-BDS legislation, even Democrats opposed to BDS have become increasingly wary of binding anti-boycott bills. The emerging partisan fissure over BDS and Israel prompted AIPAC to recalibrate this year, diluting its anti-BDS push by instead lobbying for the nonbinding Schneider resolution.
The resolution, which asserts that the BDS undermines a two-state solution and Israel’s right to exist, boasts 339 bipartisan co-sponsors, including a number of progressive lawmakers. By contrast, Omar’s bill is unlikely to receive a committee markup let alone pass. Still, she told Al-Monitor she refuses to yield to pressure from either party when it comes to AIPAC-backed legislation.
“I am very much driven by the moral clarity that I was sent to govern with, and I’m quite confident that it will withstand pressure,” said Omar.

And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.
Omar-
As you are well aware, your allegedly nonviolent movement works hand in hand with a very violent, murderous movement and acts in concert with, and in support of, that movement.
Omar, you are a sleazy, deceitful person. I find that is disturbingly common among people of your “religion”. Why is that?

Democrat Congresswoman Omar was always a radical pushing radical ideas publicly…..but she was hesitant many times. She would go 2 steps forward….and then go 1 step backward…AFTER Republicans and Conservatives called her out on her extremism. But NOW Omar is getting VERY BOLD and is not hesitating or being sheepish about her radicalism. WHY is this?
It’s because the WHOLE Democrat party now is showing her HUGE SUPPORT against Trump and the Republicans. She and her “Squad” of 3 other Democrat radicals…..are getting huge support from the whole Democrat party and mass media!! This is going to her head and hence she is NOT holding back anymore with her radical ideas. She and her “Squad” of Tlaib, AOC and Pressely NOW feel like they are Democrat ROCK STARS and can say and do anything they want!!!
And frankly, you can’t blame them……with all of the media and Democrat support Omar and her squad are getting now……they are indeed ROCK STARS of the Democrat Party…..and they KNOW IT. So don’t be surprised at the radicalism Omar and her Squad will be pushing now. They are just starting……and you ain’t seen nothing yet!!

Near as I can tell, Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky and the rest were radicalized by someone back in Vienna before the first world war, possibly a turkish spy or someone involved with opium trafficking, or both. If you count Mao of China, these men killed more infidels than any Jihad previous in all of history.
Figure that Marxism was a supposed solution for religious extremism, which we all know does NOT work.
Clooney? yeah, he’s from Ashland Kentucky as well, same place as Gina Haspel.
the whole ‘Superman Conspiracy’ fit s into this as well somewhere.
I know people who insist that George Reeve was born in the Nickell house in Ashland, his birth cert. from what I understand says Kentucky, yet Hollywood insists otherwise.
Stalin means ‘Man of Steel’ in Russian, and the ‘S on the Chest’ is the clincher – meaning the two ‘anarchist/anti-fascist’ dudes from Cleveland Ohio who created the superman comic were commie sympathizers who created pro Stalin Propaganda aimed at children – and judging from the antics of SONGBIRD MCCAIN, I’d say it was pretty effective.

Yeah, Vienna and the Poles, the two targets of the two allegedly radicalized artists/musicains who ffrequented the coffee houses in Vienna at the turn of the century, with all the other hipsters. (Not a fan of DADA-ISM.)
(Iosef Vissarionovich Dzhugasvili and Adolf Hitler – “Stalin was Iosef’s street-name, YO!)
Convenient?
Don’t think so – goes back to the 17th Century when Jan Sobiesky and the Winged Hussars broke the siege of Vienna, and get this, it was on September 11th, 16-something. Talk about retribution. Can never remember the date though. but it happened in September, on the 11th.
Just like what’s going on in Seattle and Portland, both communities formerly known for art and music – just like the NYC…

The key is remembering all the extremist religious prohibitions on music and art in Islam, and the other not-so-extremist religious prohibitions on music and art, unless it glorifies one’s particular take on divinity – the proverbial ‘The Jazz Singer’.
– ah, for those who don’t already know…
Adolf Hitler was an artist before he was radicalized, and I believe Iosef Dzhugasvili was a musician and poet.
This extremist trend continued after WWII as well, take Ballroom Dancing for example, it was the thing to do in the 40s and 50s until some serial killer started slashing women with razor blades.
Dancing BAD.
Music BAD.
Then there was Cruising, where kids would fill up their tanks and drive all night, sometimes they would drag and sometimes they would park, at least until the Son of Sam and the Zodiac Killer wrecked that.
Fornication BAD.
You can follow THAT trend right into the cinema shooters and school shootings, and what’s going on in Seattle, Portland, and NYC…
