Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts Israel’s response to the killing of an IDF soldier yesterday in Gaza by Palestinian gunmen.

“Israel’s military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials,” Taylor Greene tweets, citing the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry’s figures, which haven’t been independently verified and don’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.

“46 CHILDREN!!! Are these not war crimes?” she adds.

Taylor Greene has become one of the most vocal critics of Israel in the entire Congress, let alone the Republican Party, where such comments against Israel are highly unusual.
