(JNS) — In what her office billed as a “major speech,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused Israel of “a mass starvation of people, engineered and orchestrated following the killing of another 30,000, 70% of whom were women and children killed.”

“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,” the progressive congresswoman, who is a member of the so-called “Squad,” said on the House floor on Friday.

“It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away,” AOC said. “It looks like good and decent people who do nothing. Or too little. Too late.”

Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza—a charge that Israel has refuted. She said Washington must stop transferring weapons to Israel.

“This is not just about Israel or Gaza. This is about us. The world will never be the same,” she said. “And we will never be the same. And we must write our story in this moment, of what it means and who we are as Americans.”

“Our story must be not that we were good men who did nothing. But that we were a committed democracy that did something,” AOC added.

The Anti-Defamation League noted that genocide “requires intent.”

“Israel has been patently clear with its objectives: to cripple Hamas terrorists and release the hostages,” the ADL said. “AOC’s accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation. Such statements merely perpetuate false claims and foster hate.”

An anti-Semite doing the bidding of terrorists. She thinks Israelis are white Europeans. She thinks she has endured more prejudice than American Jews, and perhaps even than the Holocaust victims. She needs a dose of context and education.

There is one thing I still don’t understand. Why are the governments of the world pressuring Hamas to let the aid in to its people. Why isn’t Hamas being told they are crossing a red line in hiding in residential area, hospitals and the like. Why isn’t the UN calling on Hamas and its Arab buddies to help its own brothers? Why aren’t they being told they will not get funding if the hostages are not released. Why is the UK demanding that Israel let in the Red Cross..why didn’t they demand the red cross have access to the hostages???
I’ll tell you why. Because everyone is a maven , but you can’t make Hamas do anything it doesn’t want to do. They are not mentschen who care. But Israel is. So the mavinim who have to pull themselves clout have to do something so the gang up on the innocent. They forget who the wrong guy is. Hashem should help us. If ISIS can do something in Russia , Hashem should prote usct that it doesn’t happen here.

A Jew hater through and through. She cannot stand it when a Jew fights back and kicks major butt. May she have insomnia except for when she has terrible nightmares.

If you’re voting DemoKKKrat, you’re no longer in the story of Jewish history. You’re like the 80% of klal yisroel that stayed in mitzryim. You deserve the hell you’ve created.

As far as AOC’s tirades go, we should not give credence to this attention seeking, undereducated poser.
