She is the long arm of the American leftists, who are hell-bent in promoting out-reach of their government's arms all over the world, neo-colonialists and their aspirations, spreading of amorality and lack of a societal value.

She is doing the job she is selected for:

[DefendTheTruth]

The kid was given a powerful weapon without proper instruction on how to use it, and it seems to have fired back on herself (and possibly also on her employers, the leftist US democrats).

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) broke from her customary criticism of Israel Saturday to instead highlight her other top priority: the national well-being, ethnic [deleted], and border security of her native Somalia.

Footage of Omar's translated speech — wherein she appears to identify herself as a Somalian first and allegedly claims the "U.S" will do what [Somali Americans] want and nothing else" — has gone viral, prompting criticism both at home and abroad.

Trust me,
Donald Tramp will do a better job taking your Galla behind out of business for good. I am a democrat. This time around, I am switching to the Republican Party, temporarily.

[Horus]

Actually, I like her speech. This is the well known knee jerk soft demo-radical useless bombastic speech. The Somali tribal psychology is highly emotional behavior. I like the speech because it is a clear message and wake up call for those foolish Somalia advocate Ethiopians who rather than stand for rights of Somailanders to their national will instead join the Somalia sovereignty legal fiction. In any case, nothing will happen on the ground. Her call for greater Somalia was tested to its fullest potential by gen. Seid Barre the results of which is now known to the world and eternity.

There are ukrainians who promote ukranian issues in congress. Hence, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Why are you against it?

Go... Go... Heroine Ilhan!

Why are you against it?

Go... Go... Heroine Ilhan!

Is it not better to ask herself, why she is hiding now?

I didn't know that was a copy & paste from Ukrainians, in that case call on her louder to go!

[Abere]

Horus,

I think this sounds very much similar to the Tigrayan thug Alula Solomon's emotional empty talk of " War is cultural ritual dance of Tigres"
Well, we finally watched the Tigre diaspora rolling on their backs on the dirty streets of America and Europe.

I do not think she knows enough about us Ethiopians: We love our country to death and it has been proved since thousands years. Her Somalia is only as old as some of our living fathers. Somalia is just 66 years old. And the recent 33 years even do not count - Al Shabab controlled more than 50 % it.

Talk is cheap. If her Somalia loves each other and are united why did not they free themselves from Al Shabab? The truth is, practically speaking there is no country called Somalia - unless they want to recreate it from the ashes.

The kid is whipped from behind very well. She is told that she is an embarrassment to the politicians of US as a whole.

"Expel from Congress, de-naturalize and depport" wrote former Presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-ne ... 72571.html

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is calling for a House Ethics Committee investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over a disputed translation of Omar’s remarks about Somalia and Somaliland over the weekend.

“I hold the First Amendment’s protections for speech in the highest regard; however, her remarks suggest a disregard for her oath of office in a manner that is unbecoming of an American elected official, reflect poorly on the United States House of Representatives and is a slap in the face to the Minnesotans she represents,” Emmer wrote in the letter.

No matter how much they try to demean her as a refugee from Africa, she always stands up to her bullies and even gets under their skin, to the extent that she makes them obsessed with her, like Trump.

And guess what - despite their obsessive attacks on her, they're unable to silence her.

Truth be told.

You Ethiopian fuc.kers are jealous of her, simply because you know Ethiopians have been in bulk in the US since the 70s yet they're only known for parking lot attendants, barbers, taxi drivers, and running crappy restaurants that become late in the night a spot for pimps and their whores, and you see this Somali girl who came yesterday in the country and is embarking on a fight after fight for what she believes right, making big guys like Trump and now Ron DeSantis get obsessed with her, speaking out about the American pro-Israel foreign policy and how Israel has been playing an outsized role in US policy, and being all over the news so often!

I want to thank you for being here," Biden said, gesturing toward Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar during his recent visit. "You never stop working to level the playing field for everybody.

She has the right to say what she believes. As A Somali woman, her first instinct might be to "defend" the interest of her birthplace, and that is ok. If there were an Ethiopian woman in US congress, I would expect her to promote the cause of Ethiopia whenever an opportunity prevails. Somone suggested because there is a Somali woman in Us congress, but not an Ethiopian that shows Somalians are superior to Ethiopians. Only a very "fertile" mind comes with such a stretch. It is wise remembering, she run for congress because there are a lot of Somalians in her district. She did not run in one Wyoming district to become a US congress woman.

FYI, there more Ethiopians and Eritreans in the DC Metro and Virginia area than Somalis in all Minnesota, yet no single fuc.king Ethiopian ever got elected from these areas for the Congress.

Somaliman, I do not want this childish Comparision, but to be honest there are more Ethiopian professors, educators, and engineers in Us than the
whole Somali land produce. In fact, if my memory served me well, years ago one town in Maine used to complain that they are tired of the handout expectant Somalis overwhelming their small town. That was a fact. It was news for quite some time. One of the reasons I support the Somaliland independence is they are totally different from the rest of Somalis. They are industrious, intelligent, hardworking, more important, handout averse.

Oh, yeah, you mean parking lot attendants, barbers, and cab drivers, I guess.

Who do you think you're talking to, you little wanker!

Shut the fuc.k up.

[Sam Ebalalehu]

It is much better, Somalian, to work as barber, taxi driver than to be an expectant of a handout for a living. You Somalian you seem to have a feeling all Americans are well educated, Next to them are the Somalis'. I have news for you Somaliman: I am an Ethiopian, and I am more educated than at least more than the eighty-five percent of the Us population, not the Somalis'. Lert me leave the interpretation for you. you are a wise man, and you will get it.

I was also angry when I first read the translation because I personally don’t like that woman. But thinking through it, I realized that she didn’t actually say anything wrong.

No NY representative would be elected in Kings County without praising Israel and condemning Palestine and Iran. Likewise, DC Ethiopian electorates have now become so influential that candidates had to listen to them & be aware of Ethiopian politics. American politics is all about constituents and some candidates lie about their ancestry to align themselves with their constituents, so I am not sure why so many Ethiopians are joining Trump & DeSantis to gang up on Omer. She is an American-Somali and she will naturally favors her birth place over Ethiopia. An Ethiopian-American politician would do the same thing.

I think that she has willingly violated her own Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America, if nothing else.

Oath

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

Such a violation shouldn't be without any consequence, I hope.

[DefendTheTruth]

And here is her allegiance that she publicly announced while bound to the same aoth:

"As Somalis, one day we will go after our missing territories."

Not only her violation of the terms of the oath but also on the morality and decency of being an American law-maker she lost publicly and the politicians in the US are embarrassed of her, as publicly disclosed.

Omar's remarks quickly garnered condemnation from Somaliland Ambassador Rhoda Elmi, who termed her speech as "regrettably unbecoming" and "lacking in common decency."

The issue is not what she said but what she didn't say.

Racists and bigots have mistranslated what she said to fit their racist rhetoric. The following, which she has never said, is what they've circulated and made viral on social media to mislead people intentionally against her. They've selectively picked a passage of her speech in Somali and translated it to their racist liking.

The U.S. government will only do what Somalis in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. Together we will protect the interests of Somalia.

The entirety of her speech translated into English is here, which of course is also available in Somali, and I'm sure any Somali would translate it for you.

We Somalis are people who love each other. It is possible that some of us are rough with each other, but when the going gets tough, we are people who have each other’s backs. We are sisters and brothers, supporting each other, people who know they are Somalis and Muslims, coming to each other’s aid and aiding their brothers and sisters.

And the other day, when we heard that some Somalis, or those who say they are Somalis, entered an MoU with Ethiopia, many people called me and said, “Ilhan, you should talk to the US government; what is the US government going to do about this?”

My response was: the US government will do what we (Congressmen and Congresswomen) ask it to do. We should have this confidence in ourselves as Somalis. We live in this country. We are taxpayers in this country. This country is one where one of your daughters sits in Congress. While I am in Congress, no one will take Somalia’s sea. The United States will not back others to rob us. So, do not lose sleep over that, O Minnesotans. The lady you sent to Congress is on this, and she is as cognizant of this interest as you are.

I would like to tell President Hassan Sheikh that we are impressed with the great work you have done. You have made it known to those living in Somalia and other places that, in spite of the many challenges we face as Somalis, we are nonetheless competent people. People who believe in their country and will not allow it to be endangered.

Thus, I want to congratulate the Somalis in Minnesota and everywhere on how united you are. How you all stood by our president, because he needs our solidarity. Somalia belongs to all Somalis. Somalia is one. We are brothers and sisters, and our land will not be balkanized. Our lands were taken from us before, and God willing, we may one day seek them, but what we have now will not be balkanized.

I thank you all for how you always welcome me and honor me; may the Lord honor you. Peace and blessings of God be with you.

Ask yourself, who on earth can openly dare to say the US government will only do what they tell it to do!

No one. Not even Jewish or Israel lobbyists, leave alone a congresswoman who originally hails from Africa.


Hope this helps shed some light on the issue for non-biased minds.

First, she has rejected the accuracy of the translation. Since I don’t speak her language, I will wait until the truth comes out. But for now, let me just replace the word Somalia with Israel, so it would sound more like a casual fundraising speech at AIPAC event.

The U.S. government will only do what Israeli in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Israel. Together we will protect the interests of Israel.

We Israelis are people who love each other. It is possible that some of us are rough with each other, but when the going gets tough, we are people who have each other’s backs. We are sisters and brothers, supporting each other, people who know they are Israeli and Jewish, coming to each other’s aid and aiding their brothers and sisters.

And the other day, when we heard that some Israelis, or those who say they are Israelis, entered an MoU with Egypt, many people called me and said, “Benjamin, you should talk to the US government; what is the US government going to do about this?”

My response was: the US government will do what we (Congressmen and Congresswomen) ask it to do. We should have this confidence in ourselves as Israelis. We live in this country. We are taxpayers in this country. This country is one where one of your daughters sits in Congress. While I am in Congress, no one will take Israel’s sea. The United States will not back others to rob us. So, do not lose sleep over that, O AIPAC. The man you sent to Congress is on this, and she is as cognizant of this interest as you are.

I would like to tell PM Netanyahu that we are impressed with the great work you have done. You have made it known to those living in Israel and other places that, in spite of the many challenges we face as Jewish, we are nonetheless competent people. People who believe in their country and will not allow it to be endangered.

Thus, I want to congratulate the Israelis in New York and everywhere on how united you are. How you all stood by our PM, because he needs our solidarity. Israel belongs to all Israelis. Israel is one. We are brothers and sisters, and our land will not be balkanized. Our lands were taken from us before, and God willing, we may one day seek them, but what we have now will not be balkanized.

I thank you all for how you always welcome me and honor me; may the Lord honor you. Peace and blessings of God be with you.
