Support Rep. Ilhan Omar and Keep Her on the Foreign Relations Committee!
Why this petition matters
Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, has been unfairly categorized as anti-Semitic following her comments on lobbying group AIPAC and funding the state of Israel.
As an American that came to this country as a refugee, Rep. Omar acknowledges and sympathizes with the overwhelming hurdles the Jewish community has and continues to face every day. Her comments in no way support harmful anti-Semitic tropes.
This controversy underscores it's about time we as a country can have meaningful dialogue around lobbying and foreign relations without conflating a government's policies and the Jewish community.
Stand with Rep. Ilhan Omar to show that she is not anti-Semitic nor should see be silenced over her views of a foreign government.
