Ilhan Omar strikes again, pushing for a “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas while calling for an “end to this atrocity”.
She tweeted this in response to some number of child deaths being put out by Hamas or something:
We can’t look away. Please keep calling for a ceasefire and an end to this atrocity. https://t.co/Rip3D0Ek1a

First of all, the number is likely fake and there are many responses calling it into question. The account posting it has this description: “Civil society organization dedicated to defending the human rights of Palestinian children living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
Occupied? Um, not yet but it soon will be.
But more to the point, calling for a “ceasefire” is telling Israel it doesn’t have the right to defend itself. It’s an anti-Israel position at this point and it is completely untenable.
As one person pointed out…
You know what, I just came back from Kibbutz Be’eri. You know how many Jews were massacred here? Children, women, elderly? Scorched. Slaughtered. Yet you keep looking away. Do Jewish lives not matter to you? pic.twitter.com/NpgeZusTuU

Another reminded us of what she said about 9/11:
“Some people did something”

Exactly. That is basically her response now, because she doesn’t care about the Jews who were slaughtered.
