«Breaking News» Ilhan Omar is confronted by protesters waving Israeli flags

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has faced hundreds of protesters waving Israeli flags in California following her controversial remarks about Israel. 

Omar was met by the group of angry protesters as she attended an annual fundraiser for a Muslim American advocacy group in Woodland Hills on Saturday.

Protesters waved Israeli and pro-Trump flags outside a Hilton hotel where the Council of American-Islamic Relations event was being held.

They could be heard screaming 'Burn the Quran!' and 'Shame on you, terrorists'.

Meanwhile, Omar - who is Muslim - was given a standing ovation inside and told the crowd the protest was ironic because some people say her religion is oppressive to women. 

'Today they gather outside to protest a Muslim woman who is in Congress,' Omar said.

The protests came after Omar, who is one of the first Muslim women in Congress, provoked outrage last month when she suggested that supporters of Israel were urging lawmakers to have 'allegiance to a foreign country'. 

The first-term Minnesota Congresswoman's repeated criticisms of Israel and a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington have been widely condemned as anti-Semitic.

Several lawmakers expressed outrage over Omar's comments, warning that she was peddling in age-old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews having dual allegiances

Omar, a former Somali refugee, was assailed by Democrats and Republicans alike for the comments.

Several lawmakers expressed outrage, warning that Omar was peddling in age-old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews having dual allegiances. 

She later apologized for the comment but Republicans have kept citing it as evidence of creeping bigotry.  

President Donald Trump, who routinely cites his support of Israel, said on Friday: 'The Democrats have very much proven to be anti-Israel.

'There's no question about that. And it's a disgrace. I mean, I don't know what's happened to them but they are totally anti-Israel. Frankly, I think they're anti-Jewish.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
