Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses Israel of ‘terrorism’ following airstrikes on Gaza

Members of the progressive “Squad” are coming out to accuse Israel of “terrorism” and calling for a shift in US policy toward the Jewish state — as tensions in the region reignite and Defense Forces respond to Palestinian militants showering hundreds of rockets over Israeli cities, including Jerusalem.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) blasted Israel for committing an “act of terrorism” by launching air strikes into the Gaza Strip after Hamas and other Islamic jihadist militants bombarded multiple locations in Israel with rockets.

“Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection. Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians. It’s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid,” she tweeted on Monday.
