I used to contribute monthly to AOC's campaign fund, but when she remained silent on the genocide in Palestine, I switched it to Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, whom I should have been supporting from the get-go.
The only way I could forgive AOC is if it turned out her family was threatened by Mossad-AIPAC.
Oct. 16, 2024 -- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on Monday for the U.S. to impose an arms embargo on Israel amid a renewed Israeli offensive in northern Gaza. But that call appeared to largely elicit further backlash from the far-left, leaving Ocasio-Cortez on the defensive.
“The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals,” Ocasio-Cortez said on X, formerly Twitter. “This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.”
Ocasio-Cortez, already among the lawmakers most critical of Israel’s operations against Hamas and Hezbollah, has for months been under pressure from far-left Israel opponents who have accused her of being insufficiently vocal against Israel, as well as from supporters of Israel.
