Ilhan Omar blasts Israel for 'ethnic cleansing' after IDF partially razes illegal Palestinian hamlet

The partial demolition of Khirbet Humash is "in direct violation of international law. If they used any US equipment it also violates US law," controversial congresswoman, a supporter of the BDS movement, tweets.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar accuses Israel of violating international law and carrying out "ethnic
cleansing" in response to the partial demolition of Khirbet Humash an illegal Palestinian Bedouin village in the West Bank earlier this week.

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Israel's military liaison agency with the Palestinians, confirmed that demolition had been carried out against illegal structures.

"This a grave crime – in direct violation of international law. If they used any US equipment it also violates US law," Omar tweets, pointing out that federal law prevents American-funded military equipment from being used to perpetrate war crimes.

Omar is one of the most vocal Israel critics in Congress and a known supporter of the  Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. In the past, she has called for the US to condition aid to Israel based on the country's policies toward the Palestinians.

On Tuesday, Omar saw a landslide victory that secured her a second term in the House as the representative of Minnesota's 5th district.

In her Thursday tweet, she says, "An entire communityis now homeless and will likely experience lifelong
trauma. The United States of America should not be bankrolling ethnic cleansing. Anywhere."
