When two Muslimas were elected to Congress in the mid terms I bit my tongue in case they turned out to be two of those rare creatures, secular Muslims. Give them a chance, I thought.
But no. They'd no sooner been sworn into office than they were breaking bad. Or should I say, they're proving to be what was always most likely, namely pious Jew-hating Muslims. No just critics of Israel, but out and out anti-semites.
Ilhan Omar is particularly hateful. Or rather more insistently vocal, because congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is no slouch either when it comes to genocidal Jew hatred.

America's long support for Israel — often in the face of fierce criticism from key allies and painful economic reprisal from the Arab world — represents an enduring, bipartisan commitment to moral clarity in the Middle East. For the quarter century following Israel's founding, it was subjected to repeated, genocidal threats to its existence. It has served as a homeland for the Jewish people even as Arab nations rendered life intolerable for more than 800,000 of their Jewish citizens, sometimes destroying communities that existed for centuries. Israel took in hundreds of thousands of refugees, receiving them as the world's only Jewish state.
