Dov Hikind & Ambassador Friedman of Americans Against Antisemitism are calling for consequences in Congress for Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar for peddling misinformation about the bombing of a hospital in Gaza.
Squad members say it was Israel. Audio evidence suggests it was a botched Hamas rocket.
“We are calling on the House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to take immediate action against these dangerous terrorist lovers by opening an ethics inquiry into their tweets which had, within hours, incited violence against Israeli and American targets around the Middle East and America,” said Dov Hikind and Ambassador David Friedman in a joint video statement.
