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.
