Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. insisted that she was not defending Hamas as she accused Israel of committing war crimes on Sunday.

Ocasio-Cortez appeared on MSNBC’s "The Mehdi Hasan Show" to defend her position of calling for a ceasefire following Hamas’ attack against Israel on Oct. 7. When asked whether Israel had a right to defend itself, she argued that "war crimes" are not the appropriate response.

She began, "I think one of the things that’s important to recognize about this situation is the asymmetry of what is going on as well as the collective punishment of what is happening to the Palestinian people at this moment. Hamas has absolutely engaged in horrific attacks. Every single day there are more details that are released about what occurred on October 7th that shocks the human consciousness and shocks our conscience, our collective conscience."

"However we do know as well that war crimes do not constitute and are not an appropriate response for other war crimes," Ocasio-Cortez explained.

What "war crimes" are those, AOC?  Specifics, please.

As of today, what Israel has done to the Palis is a little thimble full compared to what was done to them.

Earlier generations would have firebombed Gaza into a modern day Dresden.

Actually, when Israel bombs a Hamas military target and the civilians who are inevitably near it die because of Hamas's cynical deployment of its military assets cheek-and-jowl with Gaza's schools, hospitals, playggrounds, apartment buildings and the like, the war crime was committed by Hamas -- it's a war crime to colocate offensive military assets, command centers and the like with civilians and civilian infrastructure.  It's not a war crime to attack enemy military assets.

Very, very well said.

Precisely.

AOC is easily understood,  Israel defending itself from another Nazi/radical muslim attempt at complete slaughter much like last Century is to be forgotten, only the Jews trying to survive is an act of humanity-crime.  Many democrats quickly jumped on born that train, and were glad to support such inhumanity to man, based on much the same excuses the Nazis used and last centuries excuses justifications.
The Nazis-radical muslims butchers are HERE!  SEE hOW MANY FELL TO IT LIKE THE GERMAN PEOPLE DID LAST CENTURY!  They infiltrated our government!
