These Democrats decided to take the word of terrorists to falsely accuse Israel of bombing a hospital before the facts were known.
Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many… https://t.co/mZYoifT7bj
Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific.@POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter. https://t.co/dPJ48dyDe8

There is no moral ambiguity. Bombing a hospital is reprehensible and a war crime Many have courageously spoken out about the importance of adhering to international law, even in response to heinous acts. This is why.

And this is why we must all demand a #CeasefireNOW! https://t.co/VL2t2KGKBX
Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib even outrageously reposted a woman who accused Israel of genocide.
The terrorists’ propaganda was a lie. We now know that video, audio, and signals intelligence shows that the rocket that hit the hospital was launched by the Islamic Jihad terrorist group from within Gaza, a finding backed by the analysis of U.S. defense officials.
However, as of this moment, those posts are still up without correction or apology. So not only did these Democrats take the word of terrorists before the facts came out, they would now rather believe the words of terrorists than Israel, U.S. defense officials, and the evidence.
Here’s the point: Many Democrats used terrorists’ lies to smear Israel with antisemitic posts. Now, U.S. embassies are under threat. Republicans were right to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee and condemn the long history of antisemitic remarks from Democrats. When will Democrat leadership finally stand up and reject the antisemitism within their caucus?
