Rep. Ilhan Omar's Statement on Voting 'NO' on H.Res. 1449

WASHINGTON—Rep. Ilhan Omar released the following statement on voting NO on HRes 1449.

“I voted NO on HRes 1449 because the bill endorses the harmful definition of IHRA that dangerously conflates legitimate criticism of Israel to antisemitism and further harms our ability to address antisemitism. I condemn antisemitism unequivocally, however this resolution does nothing to combat antisemitism. I will continue to stand against any attempt to silence genuine concerns of the Israeli government as antisemitism.”
