Resolution of the democratic majority of the Congress condemning the statements of the young Congresswoman from Minnesota Ilhan Omar, which has been accused of anti-Semitism, planned for adoption yesterday. But on Wednesday evening, the discussion behind closed doors has led to scandal and the failed vote. It was decided Thursday to correct the text.Who condemns the Resolution of the Democrats? Ilhan Omar is not mentioned therein

Now experts believe a mistake Nancy Pelosi attempt making such a Declaration, it was possible to condemn Omar orally and is much quieter. The leaders of the democratic party wanted an iconic and high-profile decisions on behalf of all the Democrats of Congress. In the end yesterday, as CNN reports, Pelosi had to face concerted opposition from the «progressive youth», including the Congresswoman from the Bronx Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and from the Black Congress, whose representatives, including Karen bass, who are outraged by the attacks «on single coloured Muslim woman in the House».

Today Nancy Pelosi, again commenting on the words of Omar, conciliation suggested that the Ilkhan hardly understands what effect her words about Israel: «I think that the Congressman may not have been aware the entire weight of said… don’t believe that the reason stated was anti-Semitism, rather, it does not understand, as hear others.»

As a result, today, when congressmen watched the draft resolution, they did not see there name Ilhan Omar, and words to be removed from the Committee on foreign Affairs. In addition, in the text there is almost no mention of anti-Semitism, Israel, Palestine, and other «sharp» questions. The Resolution condemned «anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities as hateful expressions of bigotry». Said about the inadmissibility of persecution «of African Americans, native Americans, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, immigrants, and others.»

Expressed the frustration of such a Resolution by many members of Congress (voted against 23 members), who wanted «a separate resolution about the lobster,» and some Democrats, for example, new York mayor de Blasio.

«I’m an American of Italian descent. — the mayor told the NY Post — I never heard that someone suggested that because of my pride for my ancestral homeland I owe a foreign government. It’s really an inappropriate comment. We need to combat antisemitism with the same force as with the sexism, racism, Islamophobia, or prejudice towards LGBT people. It all goes together.»

House Dems have had multiple opportunities to stand up against vile anti-Semitism & with each opportunity they have made excuses for Rep. Ilhan Omar’s offensive comments. Why is it so difficult to do what is right? Anti-Semitism is wrong & Rep. Omar should be held accountable.

Republicans in Congress have also reacted to the decision of the Democrats: «the Democrats Have had many opportunities to confront the vile anti-Semitism, but they were justified for offensive comments Ilhan Omar. Why is it so hard to do what is right? Anti-Semitism is wrong, and Omar must be brought to justice.»
