Congressional “Squad” member and staunch Palestine advocate Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was widely denounced this weekend for reposting a picture of dead children killed in a 2013 Syrian chemical weapons attack with the headline “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.”

Omar’s gruesome and false X post Saturday came after her fellow Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D – NY) warned the public about the “incredibly high” level of “misinformation in all directions” on the platform concerning the Israel-Hamas war.

“If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources,” the New York City lawmaker wrote last week in an appeal for caution.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee called out both congresswomen by name on X as it shared a screenshot of Omar’s graphic fake news message, which she had since un-reposted amid widespread blowback, as first reported by Mediaite Saturday.
