On Friday, New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Israel of genocide in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives:
If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.
A famine … is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government. This is a mass starvation of people, engineered and orchestrated.
Naturally, AOC did not provide actual evidence of her claims. Indeed, the evidence suggests that Hamas has been stealing humanitarian aid and engaging in price gouging by selling it on the black markets at inflated prices beyond the means of most Gazans.
Of course, AOC isn't interested in the facts where it concerns Israel. Yet what is most peculiar about her genocide declaration is that comes three weeks after she was confronted by pro-Hamas mob who confronted her on the streets of Brooklyn. AOC angrily told the mob, “It’s f‑‑‑ed up, man. You’re not helping your people. And you’re not helping them. You’re not helping them.”
Yet three weeks later, here is AOC giving into their demands in Congress.
But guess what? AOC isn't helping the people of Gaza either.
