The Incestous and Adulterous Ilhan Omar of Somalia

Yet Omar’s certainty that the Israeli military was responsible was on such a shaky foundation that even the director of the Palestinian Forensic Medicine Institute, Dr. Rayyan Al Ali, couldn’t agree, saying cautiously: “It cannot be determined whether [Abu Akleh] was killed by Israeli fire or by a Palestinian bullet.” Former New York state assemblyman Dov Hikind articulated the obvious, questioning Omar in a tweet: “Do you have proof?! No! None whatsoever. Of course that never stopped you before from demonizing Israel!”

Adding credence to the contention that Omar is rushing to judgment out of her anti-Semitism is the odd behavior of Palestinian officials. The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, now in the eighteenth year of his four year presidential term, declared that he would take the case of Abu Akleh to the International Criminal Court in order to “punish the criminals.” Neither he nor other Palestinian officials, however, seemed all that interested in determining exactly who those criminals were.

The Post added that “the Palestinian Authority confirmed on Thursday that it won’t allow Israel to examine the bullet that killed Abu Akleh, even though it is one of the steps needed to determine culpability in her death. It has also rebuffed requests by Israel to hold a joint investigation into Abu Akleh’s death.” Why, if a simple examination of the bullet would show the IDF to be definitively at fault? What do the Palestinians have to hide?
