Democratic U.S. Congressmember Ilhan Omar said outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday [21 August], where members of the “uncommitted” movement launched a sit-in to demand a Palestinian American be allowed to address the convention from the main stage.

Omar said she joined protesters outside the DNC because “there is no compassion in turning our heads away from the piles of dead bodies” in Gaza. “A ceasefire is only possible if we use every leverage that we have, and the biggest leverage that we have is to stop sending bombs,” says Omar, explaining why she is calling for an arms embargo against Israel and an end to “this genocidal war.”

Why would they attack USA?

Funny Israel has killed more Americans than hamas will and nothing changed.

Hamas and their allies consider the U.S. as "Great Satan", basically their worst enemy. I doubt the punishment we gave to Al Qaeda is enough for them to step down.

So you mean iran will attack USA if Israel is gone? Man wonder who helped make them hate us, like all the coups.

Do you think we punished al qaeda? Plus really should have gone after the Saudis
