By The FirstCrazy Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ranted about the US-Israeli relationship during a televised Town Hall event this week; directly accusing the American military of contributing to ‘human rights violations’ in Gaza.
“Forces that are recipients of U.S. military aid cannot be engaging in gross human rights violations,” Ocasio-Cortez sad. “And if they are engaged in gross human rights violations, then that aid must be either pulled, reconsidered, conditioned, etc.”
“What we are witnessing is the gross violation of human rights in Gaza, and that is being done with U.S. military assistance,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “I don’t think that the American people want to see our public resources going to finance gross human rights violations.”
“These are not just progressives,” she said. “We have seen representatives from swing seats, that just barely won their seats, are now starting to come out in favor of a cease-fire. So all of this activism is making this a politically tenable and a politically normalized position. So I want to encourage individuals who are, you know, making that call or perhaps if you haven’t made that call yet, to please do so.”
