Controversial Democrats Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have stood with Iran's regime in support of Palestinian terrorists attacking Israel.
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, two of three Muslim members of Congress, expressed their support for the rocket attacks against Israel over the weekend.
Since Friday, the Palestinian terrorist groups Islamic Jihad and Hamas fired over 700 rockets into Israel during unprovoked terrors attacks.
Israel responded by firing back, strategically destroying military capabilities of the terror groups and killing one of the heads of Hamas.
In response to the attacks, Reps. Tlaib and Omar blasted Israel for oppressing and targetting the rocket firing, people of Palestine.
“'I just don’t believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.' ~ Malcolm X,” Omar tweeted on Friday, adding, "Jumma Mubarak everybody!"

“When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free?” Tlaib said sharing another tweet.
“Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine” she said.

The position of Reps. Tlaib and Omar have them in the company of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Iran who is supporting Hamas.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned what it called Israel’s “savage” attack on Gaza, and blamed “unlimited U.S. support” for Israel, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

“Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Iran strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s (Israel) savage attack … which martyred and wounded dozens of Palestinians, including women and children,” Fars reported.
“Due to unlimited American support for this regime and the embarrassing silence of some Islamic governments, there is no end to Zionist crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories,” Mousavi was quoted as saying, referring to surging cross-border fighting.
....To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace - it can happen!

The Jerusalem Post reported that approximately 700 rockets were fired at Israel from Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip and that the Iron Dome intercepted approximately 173 of the rockets.
"Terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza have fired over 700 rockets at Israel since Friday, killing four Israelis and wounding dozens," The Jerusalem Post reported, adding:
"Defiant Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials said on Sunday that they don’t rule out the possibility that the current round of fighting in the Gaza Strip could lead to an all-out war with Israel."
"The latest round of violence began two days ago when an Islamic Jihad sniper fired at Israeli troops, wounding two soldiers," Reuters reported.

According to the Daily Wire, Omar and Tlaib, who are both well-documented anti-Semites, rushed to attack Israel and defended the terrorism that was being carried out against Israel.
In response to a New York Times headline that stated that Palestinian terrorists had fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, Tlaib wrote on Twitter:
"When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine"
Omar took a more aggressive stance defending the terrorists, writing:
"How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?
"The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable.
"Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace."

The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.
Here are some of the notable responses the two Congresswomen received over their remarks:
"These are Hamas talking points," Arthur Schwartz tweeted.
"Hamas has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the US since 1997. Whose side are you on?"

Free Beacon contributor Noah Pollak wrote in response to Tlaib:
"If you follow her logic here, she's saying that anyone who fights back against Palestinian terrorism is 'dehumanizing our Palestinian people,' i.e. Palestinians have an inherent right to kill Jews. I have no doubt she believes this."

Pollak wrote the following in response to Omar:
"Omar's 'Only real justice can bring about security' is code language.
"She's saying that terrorism is justified until "real justice" is achieved.
"What is real justice? The destruction of Israel. Omar is an Islamist."

"What does she mean by 'real justice?'" Erielle Davidson tweeted.
"Someone should ask her. For there is nothing 'just' about an anti-Semitic jihadist group being propped up by members of US Congress."

"A genocidal Sunni jihadist group was democratically elected by a radicalized populace in an area from which Israel unilaterally withdrew, and @IlhanMN finds a way to still blame Israel," Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer tweeted.

"This is outright Hamas propaganda, rife with countless falsehoods," Conservative Review's Jordan Schachtel tweeted.
This is outright Hamas propaganda, rife with countless falsehoods. There is no occupation in Gaza. Your Hamas friends are responsible for the deaths of children. They were not protesters. Stop defending jihadi terrorists.
