AOC lauds pro-Palestinian 'activism,' accuses US of aiding 'gross' human rights abuses in Gaza

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., accused the Biden administration of enabling "gross human rights violations" in Gaza by sending military aid to Israel as it seeks to eradicate Hamas.

The progressive lawmaker held a tele-town hall on Monday evening where she fielded multiple questions on the Middle Eastern conflict, including a constituent who said the U.S. should "just defund Israel and send funding and aid to Gaza."

She also encouraged pro-Palestinian activists to keep putting pressure on Democratic lawmakers to support a cease-fire, even as heightened tensions around the issue have led to instances of vandalism and threatening behavior.

"Forces that are recipients of U.S. military aid cannot be engaging in gross human rights violations," Ocasio-Cortez said, citing a set of statutes known as the Leahy law. "And if they are engaged in gross human rights violations, then that aid must be either pulled, reconsidered, conditioned, etc."

Gazans need to want building Gaza more than destroying Israel.

I can't sympathize for a people who'd rather spend money on rockets than schools and hospitals.

Human rights violations and no further aid???

Alrighty then, AOC...let's start with Gaza.

I don't believe for a moment that she was a bartender...she just ain't smart enough.

Your regular reminder that it is now TWO FULL WEEKS since @AOC
 sat & watched Hamas's atrocity snuff film in which they sadistically tortured & murdered Jews in the most gruesome way, & she has yet to do so much as to publicly comment on it.
No more pretending what she is.

I didn't get a count but it looked from what I could see through the door like the caucus room was mostly full. So at least 100+.  Speaker Johnson was there for a few minutes. Some of the folks who are supporting a ceasefire, like Reps. AOC and Casar, also attended.

It appears AOC thoroughly enjoyed watching the Hamas atrocities, then.

We have pro-terrorist clowns like AOC, Tlaib, et al., in Congress, and pro-terrorist clowns like this at the CIA:
The CIA’s associate deputy director for analysis changed her Facebook cover photo on October 21 to an image of a man waving a Palestinian flag that is often used in stories criticising Israel. ...
