During the last round of fighting in which Israel was forced to defend itself against terrorist organizations in Gaza, some Democrats in the US, like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and AOC began to discredit Israel while millions of Israelis hid in bomb shelters after Hamas fired thousands of rockets at civilian targets in Israel.
As you can see in the tweets embedded below, congressional members tried to portray Israeli Jews as "child killers" to justify Hamas' war crimes.
The truth is that Hamas is responsible for the civilian casualties in Gaza.
Most civilian casualties in Gaza have been caused by their own rockets falling short (about 20%) and killing their own citizens.
Israel has been targeting Hamas terror leaders not civilians.
Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and AOC should urge the Palestinians to stop aiming rockets at civilians.
Under international law, every rocket fired from Gaza into Israel is a double war crime — one for targeting Israeli civilians, another for doing so inside or next to homes, mosques, hospitals and schools, which uses Gazan civilians as human shields.

You blame Israel for defending itself against 1,000+ Hamas rockets.
You accuse Israel, which protects Jerusalem’s holy sites and quells violence on the Temple Mount, of attacking Al-Aqsa.
Learn the facts, Congresswoman. You’ve tweeted Hamas propaganda. https://t.co/q8yjaXrJ0W
Congresswoman, you are literally justifying terrorist groups firing rockets targeting Israeli men, women and children. Nothing caused them to commit these war crimes.

If you are progressive, why do you side with Hamas which just urged Arabs to "cut off the heads of the Jews"? https://t.co/l17QFwdKMW
Why is a Member of Congress acting as the press secretary for Hamas?
