Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) falsely claimed over the weekend that a photo of children killed in a 2013 Syrian chemical weapons attack was a photo of the “child genocide in Palestine.”

The since-deleted post was fact-checked by community notes.

“This photo is NOT from Gaza/Palestine,” the fact check noted. “It’s from the sarin attack launched by Assad’s forces against E. Ghouta, Syria in August 2013.”

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) warned against misinformation relating to Hamas terrorist attacks last week.

“The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform,” she said. “If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.”

Omar has drawn wide criticism for her pro-Palestinian stance, as Hamas wages war against Israel. The congresswoman has denounced the “mass expulsion of over 1 million people in a day” as “ethnic cleansing,” referencing Israel’s directive that gave Palestinian civilians 24 hours to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground incursion.

“The UN has already said this is ‘impossible’ and will have ‘devastating humanitarian consequences,'” the congresswoman said on X. “We have to stop ignoring the thousands of Palestinian lives lost and millions at stake! We must use all diplomatic tools stop this.”

Omar has also posted about the “Gaza Genocide,” calling Israel’s retaliatory military advances “war crimes.”

“As the world is condemning Hamas’s attacks, we must also oppose an Israeli military response that has already taken the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including nearly two dozen children,” she said.

Since Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, the terrorist group has killed 1,400 Israeli citizens. Hundreds remain missing, including at least 13 American citizens.

Omar has not publicly addressed the false tweet.
