Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ilhan Omar</a> (D-MN) promoted propaganda over the weekend that falsely portrayed children as having died from Israeli military operations when, in reality, they died a decade ago from fighting in Syria.
The false claim that Omar promoted on her X account originated from self-described &#8220;investigative journalist&#8221; Sulaiman Ahmed.
&#8220;CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE,&#8221; the post, which included a photo of dead children, claimed. &#8220;614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli IOF Forces.&#8221;
Omar then shared the false claim to her nearly three million followers on X.
The reality is that the photo is from an August 2013 <a href="https://patch.com/minnesota/southwestminneapolis/ilhan-omar-shares-false-information-palestinian-child-deaths" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> in National Geographic and it shows children in Damascus, Syria, &#8220;shortly after they succumbed to chemical weapon poisoning.&#8221;

Omar faced backlash online for promoting the propaganda.
Human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky slammed Omar, writing: &#8220;Where @IlhanMN is now literally RT&#8217;ing fake news! This is a horrific picture of kids murdered by chemical weapons in Syria. She is claiming this is Gaza. She is just so ravaged with Jew hatred.&#8221;

NBC News deputy tech editor Ben Goggin <a href="https://twitter.com/BenjaminGoggin/status/1713291020710879379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weighed in</a>: &#8220;Ilhan Omar reposting recycled imagery passed off as from Gaza. Sulaiman has repeatedly posted misinformation throughout this entire conflict.&#8221;
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck also took a shot at Sulaiman, writing: &#8220;Sulaiman Ahmed is a notorious peddler of not only disinformation and anti-Semitism, but lies about Jews and Israel writ large.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a truly despicable guy during a week where many, many people illustrated hate and repugnant behavior,&#8221; he added.

Former New York Democratic lawmaker Dov Hikind called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over the matter as she complained about &#8220;misinformation&#8221; on X about the war.
“The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform,” AOC posted on X. “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.”
&#8220;@AOC ought to have a word with @IlhanMN about her pathetic promotion of an image of dead babies from Syria killed by Assad to try and malign Israel,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;But of course AOC is a HYPOCRITE just as Ilhan is a propagandist!&#8221;

The Israeli government also showed a video in which Palestinians appeared to try to pass off a doll as a dead child as Israel was conducting airstrikes against terrorists.
