JNS: Jewish Democratic group refuses to endorse Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar over anti-Israel statements

In light of Omar’s victory, the JDCA told JNS on Wednesday that it “strongly condemns Ms. Omar’s past statements characterizing Israel as an ‘apartheid state,’ as well as her egregious allegation that Israel is ‘hypnotizing the world’ to ignore its so-called ‘evil doings.’ ”

“Now that Ms. Omar has emerged as the Democratic candidate, JDCA will not support her candidacy—and certainly will not endorse her—because her views are not aligned with our positions and values,” said the group.
