AOC slammed for refusing to call Israel's war on Gaza a 'genocide'

US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has recently been in the spotlight for not labeling the situation in the Gaza Strip as 'genocide.' During a Meet the Press interview on NBC, she hesitated to use the term for Israel's war on Gaza, although she defended the use of the term by others in her party, including Rashida Tlaib, who have accused the U.S. government of complicity.

AOC's response to these issues highlights the divide within the Democratic Party over how to address Israel's brutal aggression on the coastal enclave and the US's involvement. The discussion comes at a critical time, as President Joe Biden seeks re-election and the party grapples with its stance on international conflicts and human rights issues.

the reporter should be calling it a genocide, why is she questioning it

[LoganLoganSells]

You are one of the reasons that people have lost all faith in this government.. we expected you to tell the truth. You are obviously bought and paid for.

[daryadarya]

It's getting ridiculous to discuss existing facts and terms that everyone knows.

[peterallison-exyy]

This girl is a muppet. What else can you call it.

[BenOpvakantie-pmng]

She saw what happened to the Muslim lady in the senate. She doesnot dare to day what she thinks. She wants career in the senate she know she have to act politically to iseus.

[bandits]

So you're definitely not certain it isn't, right?

[khadijarahman]

Ohh AOC i really liked you but you disappointed me😡😡 its genocide my dear

[carlpierce]

Amazing woman but with enough sense to pick her battles.

[bemindful]

These politicians never ceased to suprise you! It's all about power and position!

[marcusbrutus]

She has called it a genocide several times before. Please take 5 seconds to educate yourself with a quick google search before attacking one of the most pro-Palestinian legislators in America.

Faite une diffusion de la révocation de la traite de Balfour

[davidcupples]

I still hang by AOC but I think she is wrong on this, esp given ICJ ruling

[nommag]

She's just staying onside, you can't score if you're offside

[sarahabdulhamid]

She is not human, she is asking stupid question?

[RC-olkq]

The entire point it to prevent genocide….. we need to stop this from going that way…. Otherwise …. We’ve lost everything worthwhile about humanity

[ericp]

She has fear in her eyes when the word is brought up. Does the Lobby have something on her?

[robchaplain]

AOC has no convictions of her own. Jill Stein does. That's why Jill Stein walks the hard and difficult path.

[sarahdouag]

Girl please !! You know the truth....just say the word. We ve seen better from you when it comes to calling a cat a cat ... still determinating it??? My 10 years old knows it is a genocide just looking at images. Come on

[Bennyboy]

I didn't expect that from her... donor money ain't no joke Mayne

[eleanorburns]

While this looks a bit edited, she certainly hasn't been as strident on this issue as her squad colleagues. And those were, alas, classic evasive politician answers.
