Claimed victims in image were killed by IDF, but they really were victims of Syria’s dictator
Ilhan Omar, the Democrat representative in Congress for a suburban district in Minneapolis, long has insisted that “disinformation” be struck from the conversations Americans have about issues.
Apparently that would be, however, only “disinformation” with which she disagrees.
That’s apparent because she was caught over the weekend spreading “disinformation,” or a lie, about the war that the Hamas terrorists launched against Israel a week ago.
In that initial assault, the terrorists broke into Israeli territory and killed an estimated 1,200 individuals immediately, including babies that were decapitated, according to IDF reports.
Omar’s response to the massacre by Hamas terrorists killing innocent civilian noncombatants, including children, was to post an image of children, dead, wrapped in white, lying on the floor.
She reposted the image from Sulaiman Ahmed, who said “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE,” and, “614 Palestinian children murdered by the Israeli IOF Forces.”
Only it wasn’t. The image was of children who were killed, but not by the IDF. These were children killed by a sarin nerve gas attack in 2013 by Bashar al-Assaid, the dictator of Syria.
Constitutional expert and popular legal commentator Jonathan Turley noted that Omar “has long been a leading voice among Democrats calling for censorship and speech controls in the name of combating disinformation.”
However, her offense was the same, “posting a picture purportedly showing children killed by Israeli forces. In reality, it was a picture of victims of a 2013 sarin gas attack in Ghouta, Syria.”
He explained, “The incident should, but is unlikely to, prompt Omar and fellow Democrats to reconsider their push for censorship and other anti-free speech measures. Such false imagery was quickly and effectively addressed in this incident without the need for bans and speech regulation.”
He explained, “The false image was quickly identified and challenged, including in a community note from X, formerly known as Twitter. There are obviously children who have been and will be killed in Gaza. However, many will knowingly spread false images or claims as part of that debate. Whoever posted this picture had to have known that it was not showing children from Gaza.”
He explained, “The incident shows that free speech allows for its own disinfectant. Bad speech is countered by better speech as the public judges what is true and what is false.”
The New York Post, which posted Omar’s propaganda image, said her “gruesome and false X post Saturday came after her fellow Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., warned the public about the ‘incredibly high’ level of ‘misinformation in all directions’ on the platform concerning the Israel-Hamas war.”
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee called Omar out, with, “@IlhanMN is spreading dangerous misinformation, blaming Israel for killing kids who were killed by Assad in Syria 10 years ago.”
Libtards believe it
War is often filled with lies. War with Islam is this on steroids. Allah is the master of lies according to the Quran.
Fake.
Typical.
FR has many threads over the years of Islamists faking images and videos.
Intentional propaganda.
maybe she’ll post a picture of hamas as they mined the building with tons of tnt?
They’re willfully ignorant.
That’s because allah is just satan in disguise!
Claimed victims in image were killed by IDF, but they really were victims of Syria's dictator.
Resignation or expulsion from Congress is appropriate.
This woman is a Muzzy pig.
And Demonicrats are filled with lies, murder and treason!
Time to rid the Congress of Omar the Pig.

Totally dupe-able wokewomen.
Squad Members = Misinformation Inc.
Even Stalin shakes his head
Omar is a Red Diaper Baby from Somalia where her father was a MARXIST govt official under one of it’s dictators, possibly Aidit or Barre’.
This psychopathic bitch should be thrown out of Congress and deported back to Somalia as soon as possible and she can take Nazi camel-humper Tlaib with her.
She wasn’t even old enough to marry her brother in 2013.
Maybe the IDF needs to post some of the images they have of the atrocities committed by omar’s beloved hamas.
Send the jihadi twat the pictures of the Israeli woman who had her unborn child cut out of her, with the cord still attached, the savages stabbed the baby in front of her, then shot the woman in the back.
Rashida Tlaib, her face contorted with venomous hate against Jews, is spreading the lie the Israel deliberately bombed a hospital and used banned white phosphorous.
That lie is being spread everywhere.
Now Omar with her versions of slander.
Impressionable morons (the American public) believe so many absurd lies and learn the lies quickly. But when you try to teach them math or the fact climate change is natural and NOT man made, they act like imbeciles.
