Rep. Ilhan Omar: Israel Defending Themselves Against Hamas With ‘Air Strikes’ Is ‘An Act Of Terrorism’

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) slammed Israel for firing retaliatory air strikes into the Gaza Strip, saying the moves should be considered “an act of terrorism.”

“Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection,” Omar tweeted. “Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians.”
