Tomi Lahren Is Facing Fresh Criticism

Tomi Lahren has received fresh criticism after posting a comment on the Israel-Hamas War on social media.

Lahren, 31, is a conservative Fox News commentator who also hosts her own show, Tomi Lahren is Fearless on OutKick, which streams three times a week. The current conflict has been a huge talking point for Lahren on her program.

On October 7, Hamas launched a huge attack on southern Israel, which responded with air and ground assaults on the Gaza Strip. More than 8,500 Palestinians have been killed, with many more injured and hundreds of thousands displaced, while over 1,400 people are now dead in Israel and more than 200 hostages were taken, according to The Associated Press.

Lahren took to X, formerly Twitter, to share her thoughts on the ongoing conflict on Monday.

"There aren't 'two sides.' It's Israel and then it's terrorists," she wrote.

Newsweek reached out to Lahren through her Instagram account for comment on Wednesday, and also to her talent agent via email.

She immediately received backlash over her post, with many people disagreeing with what she said.

"You can't just label people however you like. Let people do the research and decide for themselves who's right and wrong," one person wrote.

"If only it were that simple," said another.

"Simplistic opinion on a complicated problem twice your age," someone else commented.

A fourth person added: "Yes because every Palestinian civilian is a terrorist. Just like every German citizen was a Nazi right?"

Others agreed with Lahren's statement, showing their support in the comments.

"Facts," one person wrote.

"Yep, and let them deal with it. We have enough issues here," another commented.

"Exactly," someone else said.

This isn't the first Lahren has commented on the Israel-Hamas War. She posted to X on October 12: "If Hamas stopped attacking Israel there would be peace. If Israel stopped defending itself, it would cease to exist. Clear distinction there."

This comes off the heels of Lahren receiving backlash for sharing several messages condemning those that support Black Lives Matter (BLM) on October 11, saying it supported "international terror organizations."

Her statements followed a now-deleted post from a BLM chapter in Chicago that allegedly celebrated Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens. It has since issued an apology.

Her first post on X regarding BLM read: "BLM is a domestic terror organization that supports international terror organizations. Call it what it is."

In the space of a few hours, she also posted: "To those still defending BLM...shut up. Fools." This was followed by: "Today would be a good day for all of you to go back on your profile grid to the summer of 2020 and delete that stupid black square."
