Ilhan Omar, Israel and somalia
- Thread starter @shininglight

Do you think that avoiding to make ties with a country just because of human rights helps anyone?
Ok maybe, if the US avoided making ties with Israel it would change something since it's a big country. But Somalia?
It wouldn't change a single thing if Somalia recognizes Israel, Somalia isn't helping Palestine by ignoring Israel.
Tons of countries deal with human rights issues, the US is the one helping Israel, yet I don't see somalis being angry that Somalia has ties with the US.
France and the UK sent jet in Syria during the war, France also has a responsibility in the Libyan war, yet I don't see people being against having ties with France or the UK.
I'm not even going to talk about other big countries that have human rights issues.
Thirdly, look at Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrein, Morocco etc..., they are starting to recognize Israel.
The whole arab world is making peace with Israel and Somalis want to be the last one recognizing the country.
As if Israel cares, whether Somalia (a country with 5 billion dollar gdp) recognizes Israel or not.
It's not Somalia that is going to push Israel to compromise lo..

Okay, this thread needs a fact checker, I will volunteer.
Either we can end this topic after my post or people will get karbaashed.
She is literally the Vice-chair on the subcommittee for US-Africa relations. Any aid packages or policies towards Somalia has her signature on it.
Attached is a letter by Ilhan in the last fortnight criticising Biden on his lack of transparency on airstrikes in Somalia as well as the lack of compensation payments for civilian victims.

It's almost as if you did not do your research before making this thread.....
That is because she is on the US House Foreign Affairs Committee.
She is legit in charge of scrutinising how Israel uses US aid money as well as US-Israel relations.
As the only progressive democrat on the committee, she has the responsibility of representing her group's views (such as AOC, Rashida etc) as well her constituents on the committee.
As aforementioned in this thread, her constituents opinion on this topic is very clear.
As previously stated on this thread, Israel has been a staunch ally for Ethiopia during any conflict with Somalia. Also, the Somali people in Somalia are extremely against any sort of relations with Israel.
Egypt is actually one of, if not the main reason we got independence in 1960 instead of a 30 year extension. They were part of three country UN commission that oversaw the trusteeship period and were one of the only countries to support Somalia's claim over the Ogaden.
The Arab nations gave us free petroleum and co-financed a refinery so that the we would save on petroleum costs. As Somalia predominantly relied on petrol for electricity generation, their friendly measures essentially powered the country for a generation.
That was until Barre sold the free oil to apartheid South Africa for a profit.
Arab nations still send millions of dollars of aid to Palestine despite recognising or being friendly with Israel.
Somalia is actually one of the only Arab League countries that does nothing for Palestine.
Egypt literally got kicked out of the Arab League when they signed the treaty as well as being cut off by many Arab nations.
The president who signed the treaty was assassinated shortly after.

Because we're the poorest Arab league member? Palestinians despite their suffering are still richer than us.
Your entire point was that we do more for Palestine than other Arab countries.
As shown here:
My point is that could not be physically further away from the truth.
Don't try shifting the goal posts.

Siyaad Barre was one of the first African leaders to line up for the apartheid regime when they offered him weapons.
Somalis and being indifferent to apartheid.
