She has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/ilhan-omars-cycle-of-anti-semitism\/\">repeatedly<\/a> peddled anti-Semitic tropes, tweeting in 2012 that &#8220;Israel has hypnotized the world&#8221; and in 2019 that support for the Jewish state was &#8220;all about the Benjamins.&#8221; She has blamed the United States for everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/omar-blames-the-u-s-for-floods-in-other-countries\/\">floods in other countries<\/a> to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/omar-slams-defensive-police-shooting-as-state-sanctioned-murder\/\">state-sanctioned murder<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While blaming the United States and Israel is customary for the controversial congresswoman, Omar has not always had such harsh words for terrorists.
