Trump Administration Supports Israel’s Right to Self-Defense
President Trump and Vice President Pence have unequivocally tweeted support for Israel’s right to self defense:
….To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2019
We strongly condemn the attacks in Gaza by Hamas terrorists. Israel has the absolute right to defend itself & the U.S. stands by our great ally Israel.
— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) May 5, 2019
As the Trump administration maintains its staunch support for the state of Israel, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar recently published the following tweet:
How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?
The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.

Conservative Review’s Jordan Schachtel responded to the Congresswoman, calling her tweet “outright Hamas propaganda”:
This is outright Hamas propaganda, rife with countless falsehoods. There is no occupation in Gaza. Your Hamas friends are responsible for the deaths of children. They were not protesters. Stop defending jihadi terrorists.
