An anti-hate crime task force member has said that babies murdered by Hamas were ‘fake’ and compared Israel to Nazis.

Zainab Chaudry, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Maryland office, made the outrageous comments on Facebook in the weeks following Hamas’ terror attack.

"I will never be able to understand how the world summoned up rage for 40 fake Israeli babies while completely turning a blind eye to 3,000 real Palestinian babies,’ she wrote on October 26.

"[T]hat moment when you become what you hated most,’ Chaudry wrote on October 17, next to two photos of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany. One showed it lit up with the Israeli flag in solidarity after the attack, another showed a ceremony in 1936 when it was decorated with the Nazi flag.
