Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who has routinely made anti-Semitic statements and has been vocally supportive of the Palestinian cause, was one of the people on the Committee who supported blocking the sale. Omar wrote on Twitter: \u201cCongress must intervene and stop the sale of these weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who is also a supporter of the Palestinians and has made anti-Semitic comments but is not on the Committee, wrote on Twitter: \u201cNo more weapons to kill children and families @JoeBiden .
