A Russian Immigrant once asked Ilhan Omar: “O Congresswoman, do you have to mar all things Israeli? Your wrathful tweets do lack a balanced view of the Near East.” His pleas ignored, A Russian Immigrant then turned to the elected whipper-tweeter from Detroit: “I want to know, Representative Tlaib, do you rehearse or is it all ad lib?” No answer followed. A Russian Immigrant still had a lingering hope the Squad would grant his wish: “Please, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, give Israel another fighting chance.” And only Senator Sanders knew their ruse: The Soviet rhetoric is mightier than the truth.
