Rochester Jewish Voices for Peace Rally Support for Ilhan Omar

Rochester JVP rallied with members of the Muslim and Christian community to show support for Representative Ilhan Omar after many government officials and Zionists criticized a tweet and later a comment she made during an event at Busboys and Poets in Washington DC. regarding AIPAC and the government of Israel as being anti-Semitic. JVP said it was not anti-Semitic and the use of white supremacy and Islamophobia were being used to silence Omar from addressing the issues of Palestinian rights and the Israeli occupation.
