(Fox) A pro-Palestinian Fairfax County School Board member scolded fellow board members Thursday for giving a statement and holding a moment of silence for the victims of Hamas’ recent deadly attack against Israel.
During the meeting, Abrar Omeish rebuked the board for their “sneak attack” of inserting a moment of silence for victims of Saturday’s surprise terrorist attack and Israel’s ensuing war against Hamas into the meeting’s agenda.
She also criticized members for using language in the brief commemoration that didn’t “represent all children.” She noted she had sought a “statement that represented everybody’s views,” implying frustration that the statement did not speak to the Palestinian struggle in any way.
