    Nothing ‘unfolding’ about it. It’s been mission genocide since day one.

      Yeah, it’s more “intensifying”.

      AOC knows this, and still votes for or present on all of Israel’s military aid packages.. Like most democrats, she knows how to say one thing for optics, but do the exact opposite.

    Better late than never I guess

    no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide

    She should consider also applying this knowledge to the embargo on the Cuban people

    Edit: Obviously not trying to downplay the genocide in Gaza if it came across like that.

        Why do you think she doesn’t care about people dying? What would make you think that?

            Here she wants a ceasefire on Oct. 9: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-rep-ocasio-cortez-violence-israel-and-palestine

            And here she calls one of the methods a war crime: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-introduces-amendment-banning-israel-using-us-aid

            Nov. 15 looks like where she’s solidified the public position more firmly, and with associates https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/24-members-congress-call-biden-administration-establish-ceasefire-protect

              “I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms. No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region.”

              Yeah, cant take it seriously.

                Yes, completely expected that despite her calling for a ceasefire, you would find something objectionable that is also 100% disqualifying. Weird that what you chose is the condemnation of a terrorist attack but okay.

                  Resistance to colonization is not terrorism. Its a really weird point coming from people who praise so much your own fight against the British colonization

    I really wish people would see through AOC’s crocodile tears when it comes to Israel… she has consistently voted FOR all of Israel’s funding bills in congress.

    She’s even to the right of the rest of “the squad”, and was the only member to not vote against a 1B USD package to fund Israel’s Iron Dome.

        US Law states that we’ll do anything and everything in our power to make sure no US official ever sees justice. So, no I highly doubt it.

        Unfortunately no US president will ever face a war crimes tribunal, despite the devastation and mass murder they’ve caused. In 2016 alone, Obama dropped an average of 3 bombs every hour on the middle east and north africa. Its a sad truth that none of these people will ever have to pay for their crimes.
