Advocacy groups demand Facebook remove AIPAC’s Islamophobic attack ads against Ilhan Omar
News - World: Facebook is under pressure to remove the Israel lobby AIPAC’s latest Islamophobic attack ads against Muslim-American congresswoman Ilhan Omar, which advocacy groups say will endanger the life of the Minnesota Democrat.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a pro-Israel lobby group in the United States, has long been using harassment and intimidation tactics in order to silence the Israeli regime’s critics in Congress and deter them from defending the human rights of Palestinians.
Lately, AIPAC has been running attack ads on Facebook against Rep. Omar, an outspoken critic of the Israeli regime, accusing her of seeing “no difference between America and the Taliban” and “democracies and terrorists.”
On Wednesday, Jeremy Slevin, the congresswoman’s communications director, condemned the ads and said the language used by AIPAC is “identical” to hate messages Omar so often receives. “Make no mistake: AIPAC is putting Rep. Omar’s life at risk with repeated Islamophobic attack ads.”
