Omar says Israel policy divisions won't stop her from supporting Biden in November​

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.​

​

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”​

​

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”​

I am deeply concerned by the "a pox on both their houses" stand. But to fail to appreciate what the U.S. government has wrought is, in my opinion, morally bankrupt.

What's your point?
Omar understands what's at stake in the 2024 election. I feel the same, preventing a Trump presidency takes precedence.
Withholding a vote in protest only assists what's coming if Trump wins. Do they want another Muslim ban?
I've talked to a bunch of these protesters and a lot of them say "I don't care one way or the other if Trump wins."
That's ignorant, dangerous and shows me they don't follow politics and are just riding the propaganda bandwagon.

The IDF has gone far beyond self-defense. No country has the right to engage in bombardment where the vast majority of those killed are civilians—after pushing over two million people into a tiny, densely populated strip, no less.

Throughout history, there have been many other examples of misguided, unjustifiable military actions in the name of self-defense. The Afghanistan and Iraq wars are conspicuous recent examples.

Considering especially the logistics, what do you think Israel should do? Now I am referring to the current conflict, so please don't relitigate the past.

And what is Hamas' responsibility?
