Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network stands with Ilhan Omar, a strong supporter of Palestine elected to the United States House of Representatives
Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network stands with Ilhan Omar, a strong supporter of Palestine elected to the United States House of Representatives last November, and urges a broad mobilization to defend her against media and political incitement by Israel and its allies.
Rep. Omar is one of only two endorsers of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in the 541-seat Congress. She is also an outspoken critic of Israel’s crimes against Palestinians and has joined demonstrations protesting them in her district around Minneapolis, Minnesota.
These strong positions, unheard of in Washington, D.C.’s halls of power until this year, as well as Rep. Omar’s identity as an immigrant, the first Somali-American, and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, have drawn harsh reactions from Israel’s reactionary supporters, as well as the Israeli state itself.
While a ferocious offensive targeting her gained widespread attention over the past day and a half, the ongoing campaign of racial, religious and political harassment against Rep. Omar began long before her election.
I stand with Ilhan because my Judaism is one that is based in solidarity with other marginalized identities, not one that is rooted in racist smear campaigns.
