Some Dems slam Israel in aftermath of cease-fire, Republicans largely silent early Friday
Rep. Ilhan Omar said Thursday she is happy a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was agreed to after a week-and-a-half of fighting, but insisted there needs to be "accountability for every war crime committed."
She also accused the U.S. of tacitly supporting those alleged crimes with its support for Israel.
"We should all be grateful that a ceasefire will prevent more civilians and children from being killed," Omar, D-Minn., tweeted. "But now what? We need accountability for every war crime committed. And we need to stop underwriting crimes against humanity while doing nothing to end the occupation."
Her reaction was just one of several comments from members of Congress after Israel announced it agreed to a cease-fire, which was brokered with help from neighboring Egypt. Reaction from other members of the liberal "Squad" was just as harsh against Israel, although some Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., took a more conciliatory tone.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., an ally of Omar and other Democrats who are highly critical of Israel, launched a broadside against the Jewish nation and called on the U.S. to potentially withdraw its foreign aid to the country.
"A ceasefire is necessary, but will not alone achieve freedom, justice, and equality for all who live under Israel's apartheid government," she said. "The U.S. must condition funding to uphold human rights, and end the funding entirely if those conditions are not met."
Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota released a similar statement on Twitter.

Dems siding with the terrorists. On a different topic, I've seen several statements from the White House that Biden has spoken to Abbas several times. Abbas? Doesn't he realize it's Hamas firing the rockets? And that Abbas has no influence over them? Or did he just keep dialing the wrong number.
I agree! Good that damn Hamas accountable for once!
Ping.
She DOES hate the Jews, doesn’t she? Yet, liberals love her.
Muslims committing war crimes are not included.
Anyone harming a Muslim for any reason is a war crime.
‘We need accountability for every war crime committed’
By Hamas.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
She should be stripped of her citizenship and sent back to her beloved Somalia.
By Hamas who hides behind women and children.
Bingo.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
GTH, ya anti-Semite
“Yet, liberals love her.”
The far left hates Jews.
Says a mooselim that doesn’t even belong in our country...let alone our government.
Let’s punish the muslins for all the WAR CRIMES they have committed FIRST.
This, from the same person who thinks men can give birth to babies.
ML/NJ
With her lying tongue cut out and her ugly face removed.
Maybe we should give Hamas better technology, so the next time they launch 4000 rockets at Israeli civilians 20% of them won’t land inside their own territory.
I’m sick of these blathering liberal idiots...
