Ilhan Omar Attacks Hamas

June 9, 2021

In response to a tweet issued by Representative Ilhan Omar, Congressman Sherman issued the following statement:

It's not news that Ilhan Omar would make outrageous and clearly false statements about America and Israel. What's newsworthy is that she admits Hamas is guilty of "unthinkable atrocities". It's time for all of Israel's detractors to condemn Hamas. And it's time for all those of good will to reject any moral equivalency between the U.S. and Israel on one hand, and Hamas and the Taliban on the other.

We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity.

We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.

I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice. pic.twitter.com/tUtxW5cIow
