  So she can recognise israel but won't recognise the armenian genocide...American politics really take shit to another level
context: Political suicide but the right moral thing to do. She naturally wil be punished by both parties for telling the truth about the brutality of Isreal. >
  
  She compared Israel and USA to the Taliban and Hamas. She ran a smear campaign against liberal Brown women like Masih Alinejad. She kept making antisemitic remarks all in the name of "opposing Israeli influence" and so on and so forth.
  She's a disgrace to the democratic party.  
  And Israel will naturally defend itself when it's attacked. No country would sit idle when its citizens are in danger. Maybe Ilhan should understand that and call for peace and criticize the players who refuse the peace and cheer on killing civilians instead of comparing Israel to them. Just maybe. >

  Linking an article with facts about US involvement/interference in the Iranian political landscape is a smear campaign these days?

  Oh right, Americans now think any criticisms of the Israeli state is antisemitism, I forgot. >
  
  
  Masih Alinejad is under protection from the US government because Islamist terrorists target her and want her dead.
  
  Which is unfortunate and atrocious and she deserves to be protected from. That doesn't negate the fact that she receives massive contributions by the pro Trump VOA radio network.
  
  Ilhan Omar, supported a smear campaign against her. 
  
  Again, a single tweet linking an article that shows the financial contributions of US based organizations to Masih is a smear campaign? Unless I'm missing something else in which case I'd love to see that to change my view.
  
  It's the duty of all of us to amplify the voices of Iranian freedom advocates in or outside Iran, until Iran is free from this terrorist regime.
  
  Yeah because using this logic to justify past US/CIA interventionist campaigns has gone down smoothly before. I'm sure you are advocating for their freedom, but are you 100% your government is too?
  
  Hilarious considering Ilhan herself apologized for those remarks more than once and has just declared her support for Israel!
  
  Of course, as we saw, simply criticizing the Israeli state forces and their atrocities committed on innocent Palestinians is enough to threaten the existence of one's job in the US political landscape. They just want to save their job.
  
  Absolutely hilarious how leftists like you bend backwards to terrorist Islamists. They won't give you a jizya discount btw.
  
  Funny how you jump to strawmanning. When did I ever say I supported the Iranian government? I can condemn the atrocities of the Iranian state while simultaneously condemning the intervention and manipulation of the US in foreign nations. >
  
  The think tank’s vice president Parsi also runs the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a group that claims to be a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization but has faced accusations of lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime and against the interests of the Iranian diaspora in the US.
  Alinejad, who fled Iran after the disputed 2009 presidential election and subsequent crackdown, makes no secret of her work with the US government-funded VoA. In December, she sued the Islamic Republic in a US court alleging a government-led harassment campaign targets her and her family. In the lawsuit filed in Washington DC, Alinejad listed working as a contractor for the VoA network since 2015.
  ​
  Just because she works with the VoA doesn't mean she's a US government asset. She fled Iran because of the terrorists that rule it, and until now she's still advocating for the same thing whether or not some US funded parties work with her, which she doesn't make a secret of. Therefore, it's completely irrelevant.
  Ilhan sharing an article of an agency that's funded by lobbyists of the terrorist rulers of Iran alone is dangerous, let alone that article being a smear campaign against a freedom advocate who has been calling for the same thing ever since she was still in Iran.

  No you got it wrong. She was making antisemitic remarks, and she apologized for them, because they are antisemitic. If she was trying to keep her job she wouldn't be comparing the US and Israel to terrorist groups and continuously going against every single thing in the US foreign policy. Which we all know she was doing!
  If you don't want Israel to defend itself don't force it to. Simple as that.
  And if you're concerned about civilians you probably wouldn't be as opposed to Israel. It's not the Israeli society after all who celebrates civilian deaths and it's not the Israeli authorities who make it publicly that they're bloodlust for enemy civilians, and deliver on those promises.
