Rep. Ilhan Omar has been called out for sharing a misleading social media post that featured dead children in Syria whom she claimed were killed in Gaza by Israel.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee pointed out that the Minnesota Democrat reposted a message that said “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE” and “614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli Forces” on Saturday.
AIPAC was prompted to share Ms. Omar’s post after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted on X calling on people to check the information they see on the internet about the Israel-Hamas war. The “Squad” refers to the far-left House Democrats. Both Ms. Omar and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez are considered to be a part of it.
