(CNS News) In a May 17 statement calling for a reassessment of transferring $735 million in military aid to Israel, left-wing House Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) derided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal and said America should stand on the side of human rights because, yes, Palestinian lives matter.
Although Omar said that indiscriminate Hamas rocket attacks that kill Israelis are also a war crime, she did not say in her statement that Israeli lives matter or that Jewish lives matter.
