Ocasio-Cortez, in House Speech, Accuses Israel of ‘Genocide’
Brave woman .... if American history serves me right, people like her are liable to get themselves killed or conveniently die for speaking up too much or too loudly
Either suicide with 2 shots in the back of the head, or a car crash
AOC has been mostly silent and very "soft" on the matter until recently. Better late than never I guess.
Brave? This has been going on for 5+ months and she is just now saying something.
Edit: My apologies, I am angry that she hasn't called it a genocide.
This is not her first time speaking about it. She called for a cease fire on October 9th. So a pretty consistent position.
You are not correct, but feel free to collect records and let us know why everything she said on the matter was inadequate. Start here, AFAICT her first remark is on Oct. 9: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media
Are there other US representatives or senators that called this war a genocide?
Ah, can you share an example of someone who has been saying something in the interim? That way you could highlight a politician we should be paying attention to who is doing a better job.
Also, is there logic behind your five month cutoff because I'd love to get some insight the rationale behind the opinion.
If American history serves me right people will be paranoid over whatever they're told to be paranoid.
She's actually more likely to be killed by a pro-palestine protester given how emotionally unstable the Hamas propaganda is making them. She's already being harassed in the streets by them.
5+ months late. AOC is just another capitalist Democrat.
Wow only took her five months of Genocide and 32.00 Palestinians killed.
Now she's lost all face with the actual left and more than 50% of Democrats already believe israel is committing Genocide, she turns around. Amazing.
Did Bernie say the scary word yet? Or is he still complicit?
ITT so many hurt Liberals downvoting but not commenting.
Bernie "Zion" Sanders? Bernie "Israel has a right to defend itself" Sanders?
It's so disheartening to go from feeling like even if we lacked substantial representation on the left at least there were a couple people on Capitol Hill making some noise for us, to feeling just completely alienated from the entire project of electoral politics in the US. I guess there are still some folks in the House we can raise up.
He's the sole Senate vote against sending military aid to Israel. Just because he hasn't called it a genocide does not mean he supports Israel. It's not an either/or equation.
Fake squad members like Ilham Omar have turned to pretending AIPAC is a Republican problem. Ignoring that Democrats receive AIPAC bribes as well. Probably even more. Recently saw a Lemmy poster repeating this same BS propaganda about AIPAC being a GOP thing.
Or, you know, they are individual human beings with their own political views that happen to resonate with the people who vote for them.
Not everything is a massive conspiracy.
Finally. Fuck Israel.
This honestly reads like a sarcastic joke, I'm not sure if it just went over everyone's head here
