End Foreign Aid to Israel and Everyone Else

Their reason? Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, denied entry into Israel for the two of them, owing to their public support of the Boycott, Divestments, and Sanctions movement, a global protest against the Israeli government's longtime mistreatment of Palestinians.

Omar stated:

We give Israel more than $3 [billion] in aid every year. This is predicated on them being an important ally in the region and the only democracy in the Middle East. But denying a visit to duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally, and denying millions of people freedom of movement or expression or self-determination is not consistent with being a democracy.

If people understood that democracy is dictatorship, they would get rid of democracy. Here's how it works. The majority wins over the minority, thereby making slaves out of them. Then - in a country as large as the USA - the majority hands over their requirements to a small group to implement the things they won the vote on. The group never does what the majority wants, partially because the majority never meant the same thing when they voted. So, we have dictatorship by the tiny group.
