Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad,” has come under fire for sharing a photo depicting seven deceased children with a caption that read, “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.” The image insinuated that the children were casualties of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) actions.
However, fellow tweeters quickly added a “Community Note” to her tweet, which revealed that photo was actually taken after a 2013 sarin gas attack in Ghouta, Syria, and was unrelated to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
In response, fellow anti-Israel Squadster Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed the rampant misinformation surrounding the ongoing war – as if she and Omar aren’t largely to blame for said misinformation. She advised her followers on X to exercise caution and verify information from multiple sources before sharing. “If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation,” she wrote.
Following the controversy and ensuing criticism, Ilhan Omar removed the retweet from her profile.

How can these creatures work for the government of the USA?
They should be fired, their citizenship taken away from them and deported to their country of origin.
This includes Rashida Tlaib and all those who side with Hamas
Don’t confuse liberals (especially Muslim ones) with the facts
As if she or her friends care
she is ROTTING do not worry…only those decaying from within would ever admit to this……America is blessed with this EVIL and I may be the only one to say this…to all of our families please come home
Lock up this witch/savage until every single hostage is released unharmed
Piece of smelly vermin. Hakeem Jeffries is just as evil, as he enables these minority female democrats spew their hatred towards the Jewish people. Hakeem has never and will never criticize or call out the fat obese pig, Cori Bush! Bush is a female black so she’s off limits to Jeffries or Bob Casey.
Why is this newsworthy? She has never been one to embrace or even tolerate honesty. She is one huge lie, like the ideology behgind Hamas and terror. She should be ousted from public office. May she get the extremes of disgrace on the way out.
Moslems are permitted to lie (according to Islam) if it involves fooling “infidels” to further Islamic goals.
I wouldn’t say “busted” unless the Democrats kick her out of their caucus (deprives her of sitting on committees) or she is expelled from the Progressive Caucus. Like it or not, she represents a significant body of Democrat opinion, no matter what obsolete DINOs such as Chuck Schumer or Joe Lieberman say.
They’re such liars
She needs to be deported along with tlaib…also stop giving them honor by referring to them as “Congresswoman” or “Rep”
