Supporters of Israel called out progressive Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for spreading misinformation surrounding the country's war against Hamas.
Omar, who like AOC is a member of the left-wing "Squad" in the U.S. House, shared a social media post claiming to show "Child Genocide in Palestine" but containing a photo of dead children taken after a 2013 chemical weapons attack in Syria.
"AOC warned about people spreading misinformation and photos that trigger a strong emotional reaction," Aviva Klompas posted on X. "Cue Congresswoman @IlhanMN sharing a 2013 photo of Syrian children and claiming they’re Palestinian." AIPAC also cited other similar propaganda on Saturday, retweeting two posts from Palestinian or Hamas-linked accounts.
"At least one of the photos is a lie — using picture of the Israeli Ido Avigal who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists."
