Omar, Tlaib Denounce Spate Of Bomb Threats Against Synagogues; ‘Mere Threats Not Enough’

“Palestinians have had enough rhetoric. We need action.

Washington, September 20 – Several prominent legislators in Congress castigated the yet-unknown perpetrators of harassment crimes across the country targeting Jewish houses of worship over the last several weeks, in which anonymous persons sent messages to those houses of worship to the effect that an explosive device had been planted on the premises – the lawmakers stated that such unacceptable methods cannot continue, and that only genuine explosive devices, and not just talk of them, can accomplish anything.

Congresswomen Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) denounced in a shared press conference the recent spate of bomb threats against synagogues around the US, asserting that true progress in the pursuit of justice cannot occur if such threats remain in the realm of threats only.

“The Palestinian cause demands more than rhetoric, even scary rhetoric,” insisted Tlaib, herself of Palestinian heritage. “Palestinians have had enough rhetoric over the last eight years. So many promises that fellow Arabs would push the Jews into the sea in 1948; so many bombastic speeches by Egyptian and Syrian leaders that the end of Zionist project, and the liberation of Palestine from the pig-dog Jew usurper, lay just around the corner. We need action. And not impotent action such as a few Scud missiles,” in apparent reference to then-President of Iraq Saddam Hussein’s attempt to alienate Arab allies of the coalition arrayed against him in 1991 by firing at Israel to provoke them into response that would divide those opposing his forces. The dozens of missiles failed to kill even a single Israeli.

“I know some people in Tehran who can be of help in obtaining bombs, in case the callers are interested,” added Omar. I know that our domestic activists involved in keeping Jews in their proper place often struggle to secure funding, let alone equipment, for the type of actions that we all know are necessary to move things along in the right way. If it’s about the Benjamins, I assure you all, those six billion dollars that the president just authorized in sanctions relief for Iran will not all go to building hospitals or repairing potholes.”

Tlaib’s and Omar’s Congressional ally Cori Bush (D-MO) forestalled anticipated efforts to paint the women’s words as antisemitic. “That’s what Zios call anything even vaguely pro-Palestinian,” she scoffed. “A progressive activist can’t even mention Jewish perfidy and control of the media without getting lambasted as some Hitler. We all know the real Hitlers are the ones perpetrating a second Holocaust on the Palestinians even though there never was a first, because acknowledging it would undermine the required zero-sum narrative of Palestinians as complete victims and Jews as eternal criminals.”
