Another victory for voting rights from the House! 💪🏽 We can’t have equitable elections without accountability. @Sewell4Congress’ bill would help prevent states from discriminating against voters of color and hold states with a history of discrimination responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to this issue, you are either for peace or you are for occupation. But you can’t be for both. For this reason, I voted no. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

This isn’t a criticism of @RepLowenthal or @jstreetdotorg—who have been champions of a clean two state resolution. It’s a criticism of the pro-occupation establishment who tried to undermine them at every turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We cannot be silent about settlement expansion, move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and undermine any steps to create a Palestinian state, and still claim to support peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

We are told to swallow these changes in the name of “pragmatism.” But there is nothing “pragmatic” about a vote that makes peace unachievable. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

That’s why the resolution doesn’t have support from Palestinians in Congress or Palestinian advocates. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

The goal of these changes was clear: to pass a resolution that will not actually bring a resolution to this conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Then @RepJoshG introduced an amendment committing to “ironclad” support for $38 billion in military aid to Israel with no conditions—essentially eliminating any potential leverage the U.S. has to bring about peace. https://t.co/bPQ87AsrBP — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

After I and many progressives cosponsored, the resolution was altered to remove the word “occupation.” It also removed a reference to the “broadly held consensus” on the two state solution. Here is what they took out. https://t.co/DgBgbaWAxk — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

While far from perfect, affirming the importance of a two-state solution is especially important because of increasingly radical moves by the Trump and Netanyahu admins to to make peace impossible, such as: — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

I cosponsored the original resolution for that reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

First some background: before Trump, the two-state solution was the policy of the United States for decades. It is the only way to end the occupation and for both Israelis and Palestinians to have their own sanctuaries and self-determination. — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

Today, I believe we are squandering a real opportunity to support peace in Israel/Palestine. Here is why I can't support the final version of H.Res 326, a resolution about U.S. support for a two-state solution that I fear will make it impossible to ever bring about that peace. — PolitiTweet.org
