Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a perfect example of what happens when inexperienced people prioritize being an ideologue over facing reality.
Ocasio-Cortez claimed that calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas “means transcending cycles of violence.” According to Ocasio-Cortez, “To me, in that sense, a ceasefire is not just realpolitik. It is spiritual. We are being called to be higher than our history. We are being called to transcend the tit for tat.” She also said that the only solution to the conflict is diplomatic.

For all the sanctimonious lecturing about the lives of innocents, describing a ceasefire as “spiritual” and about “transcending cycles of violence” is as insulting as whatever straw man Ocasio-Cortez is losing to in her speech.
