Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a member of the so-called progressive “Squad” in Congress, again accused the Jewish state of genocide on Monday.

“The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu government, fully armed by the Biden administration while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals,” wrote the politician known as AOC. “This is a genocide of Palestinians.”

“The United States must stop enabling it,” she added. “Arms embargo now.”

The congresswoman also blamed U.S. President Joe Biden in her message marking the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s terror attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Islamic Republic wrote that U.S. and Israeli vessels, and those of “other participants in the aggression” don’t “qualify for innocent or non-hostile passage” through the vital energy corridor.

“The convergence of ideologically, politically and religiously motivated violent extremist threats to the Jewish community and, by extension, Jewish public officials drives this elevated threat,” the report said.
