Why this petition matters

Started by No BS Zone

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.
