House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Ilhan Omar of fomenting 'prejudice' by drawing false equivalence between democracies such as U.S. and Israel and terrorist groups such as Hamas and the Taliban. Her condemnation is the latest sign of tensions within the Democratic Party, as progressive members of the so-called 'squad' insist that Israel be held accountable for its actions against Palestinians. Omar accused her critics within the Democratic Party of whipping up 'Islamic hate against her' after they complained she was comparing atrocities committed by American and Israeli troops with those of terrorist groups.
