The liberal “Squad” member said “the horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu government, fully armed by the Biden administration.”

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 Mossad reportedly funneled captured terrorist arsenals to Kurdish opposition groups as part of an initiative to destabilize the central government.
“When journalists make these requests, they’re really made on behalf of the public, not to bury the issue and respond 11 months later,” Randy Mastro, a former deputy New York City mayor, told JNS.
“Under any Republican administration, Israelis are never going to be sanctioned for simply advocating against aid to Hamas or advocating against illegal Palestinian construction,” Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor, told JNS.
The USAID Inspector General’s office is “also working to prevent Hamas-linked staff from jumping to other aid organizations operating in Gaza,” a senior Trump admin official told JNS.
“Regardless of how it is ultimately classified, incidents like this send shockwaves through the Jewish community,” Rabbi Noah Farkas of Jewish Federation Los Angeles told JNS.
