The Monday tweet implied the Israeli Defense Force is good at blowing up buildings with people in them, so they shouldn\u2019t be helping to find people trapped under the rubble of the Surfside condo collapse in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>A recovery team with the IDF joined emergency crews in Surfside on June 27 in order to help with rescue efforts. Israel\u2019s former UN Rep. Danny Danon responded to Sarsour\u2019s tweet stating, \u201cdo not expect those who worship violence and death to understand those who value life. The IDF, Israel\u2019s army, the most moral army in the world, will always stand by our allies in times of need.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shame on Linda Sarsour for this evil, heartless tweet, compounding the victims pain at a time when many Jewish people are still buried under rubble in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/surfside?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#surfside<\/a>, and while Israeli &amp; American first responders work side by side to help them and their neighbors from all backgrounds. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ByUixfUjFX\">pic.twitter.com\/ByUixfUjFX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Dickson (@michaeldickson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/michaeldickson\/status\/1412156139396083725?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The retweet caused swift backlash, particularly from pro-Israel groups.
