By any objective metric, such actions by Israel are basic acts of military self-defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not for Omar. The Minnesota Congresswoman defined Jewish self-defense against terrorism as \u201cterrorism,\u201d arguing that such a response by Israel is unwarranted because Palestinians don\u2019t have protective systems in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIsraeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism,\u201d tweeted Omar. \u201cPalestinians deserve protection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cUnlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don\u2019t exist to protect Palestinian civilians,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The argument Omar is making is fundamentally anti-Semitic, and presumes that the attempted murder of Jewish civilians is morally equivalent to the undeniably tragic \u2014 if true \u2014 death of Palestinian civilians following attacks, when Hamas intentionally launches rockets from within civilian areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not only that, Omar argues that the attempted murder of Jews does not justify a response because Israel has decided to use its resources in a defensive manner, while the Palestinian leadership has not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>By Omar\u2019s logic, the world should simply shrug when terrorists fire rockets at Jewish civilians. \u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal? Only a few people were hurt. Most of the rockets were intercepted!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This is the moral equivalent of arguing that law enforcement should not respond to an attempted murder because the victim was able to defend themselves. Moreover, that the victim\u2019s decision to defend themselves was morally wrong because they were \u2014 by some arbitrary metric \u2014 \u201cstronger\u201d than their attacker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This is simply anti-Semitic nonsense. Ilhan Omar can quite literally watch acts of terrorism and shrug because Jews are the targeted victims, and justify her appalling level of apathy because Jews spent their money on the Iron Dome while the hundreds of millions of dollars in aid given to the Palestinians in recent decades has been directed \u201celsewhere.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perhaps Omar should be forced to answer why Israel needs an Iron Dome in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
