Rep. Ilhan Omar blasted again for what critics call anti-Semitism
Her actual position on the power of the pro-Israel lobby in the US and the nature of Israel as a Jewish State is not all that far from the views of many on the left, including notably some Jews on the left.
Poster tying Rep. Ilhan Omar to 9/11 attack sparks angry confrontation in W.Va. Capitol
A display in the West Virginia statehouse equating Rep. Ilhan Omar to al-Qaida terrorists behind the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, sparked a confrontation between Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Friday, according to NBC News.
One person was physically injured and another resigned as a result of the incident that centered on the freshman Minnesota Democrat, NBC reported.
An image of the poster that caused the confrontation was shared on social media by Democratic Del. Mike Pushkin. It shows an image of the World Trade Center just after terrorists hit the second tower with a civilian airliner.
"'Never forget' – you said ... " reads the caption above the image of the burning towers.
"I am the proof – you have forgotten" reads the next caption below an image of Omar, who is Muslim.

"No wonder why I am on the 'Hitlist' of a domestic terrorist and 'Assassinate Ilhan Omar' is written on my local gas stations," Omar tweeted with a link to the NBC story.
