Far leftist Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) posted a harsh criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday morning as reports surfaced of Iran launching a massive missile attack on Israel.

Pressley blamed Netanyahu and the Israeli military for “escalating violence” in the Middle East and claimed that Israel’s actions have “incit[ed] a regional war.” The Democrat posted the criticism of Israel as Iran fired approximately 200 missiles at the U.S. ally.

“Netanyahu’s invasion of Lebanon is putting millions of people at risk, forcing thousands to be displaced, and inciting a regional war,” she wrote. “The escalating violence must end. In Lebanon, in Gaza, and across the region.”

Iran’s missile attack on Israel placed almost the entire country under red alerts as civilians were told to take cover in bomb shelters. Videos posted to social media showed missiles hitting the ground while many of them were intercepted by Israel’s “Iron Dome” defense system.

Many of the social media posts showing video of Iran’s attack on Israel went up just minutes after Pressley posted her criticism of Israel on X. As of Tuesday afternoon, Pressley has yet to post anything in response to Iran’s attack on Israel.

The Democrat has routinely condemned Israel after Hamas launched a brutal attack on the country and sparked a war on October 7, 2023. Israel has responded by taking out much of Hamas’ and Hezbollah’s leadership while also targeting other Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen and Lebanon.

Most of the responses to Pressley’s X post slammed the Democrat congresswoman for condemning Israel as it was under attack.

“My sister is cowering in her shelter right now. GFY,” wrote Boston Herald reporter Gabrielle Starr before she apparently deleted her comment.

Conservative commentator Dave Rubin simply replied, “Evil witch.”

“Any comment about the missiles falling on Israel right now?” another X user asked.

Shortly before Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, at least eight people were killed, and seven people were wounded in a shooting in Tel Aviv.

The shooting and Iran’s missile attack on Israel come just six days before the one-year mark of Hamas’ October 7 massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel.
