"Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection. Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians. It’s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid," Omar wrote on Twitter on Monday.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and other members of the progressive so-called "Squad" advocated for Palestinians after Israeli police and Palestinians fought Friday at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a main holy site sacred to Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem. Tlaib targeted some of her remarks at President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, asking the White House's reasoning for granting aid to Israel.

"I was 7 years old when I first prayed at the Al Aqsa with my city [sic]. It's a sacred site for Muslims. This is equivalent to attacking the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, or the Temple Mount for Jews. Israel attacks it during Ramadan. Where's the outrage @POTUS?" Tlaib wrote on Twitter.

"American taxpayer money is being used to commit human rights violations. Congress must condition the aid we send to Israel, and end it altogether if those conditions are not followed. Statements aren't working @SecBlinken. Enough is enough," she announced in a different post.

Tlaib is the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress.
Omar took a similar stance.
"This is happening as Muslims pray tarawih [and] tahajjud in Palestine. Families who pray all night during Ramadan, the mosque is like home. Palestinians deserve to find refuge in a mosque and peace in Ramadan. Where is the media coverage? [Speak] up against Israeli occupation terror," Omar wrote on Twitter on Saturday along with a video of the violence.

Omar further blamed Israel of "ethnic cleansing," citing a New York Times story about evictions of Arabs in East Jerusalem.
"This deputy mayor is describing ethnic cleansing here, yet everyone in the West is pretending that’s not what’s happening to Palestinians. It’s reprehensible," Omar wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Though, meanwhile, the very real unrest in Jerusalem and the whole country has prompted Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn (R) to strike at the heart of anti-Israel terrorist funding.
She is presenting a bill, "The Hezbollah Money Laundering Prevention Act of 2021," to attempt and choke off the financial flow into the terrorist organization that pledges to eradicate the Jewish State and that she fears is helping fuel the current protests.

"What this would do is clamp down on their ability to have access to the U.S. banking system," says Blackburn. "We’re just trying to make it more difficult for them to have access to those funds. We’re making it more difficult for them to launder those dollars."
