    Looking the other way during a genocide

    Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t she personally vote to send more weapons to the genocidal entity and justify it by saying that while genocide is bad, the Palestinian people must be eternally oppressed and pushed down because if they are not, they might come after the colonizers who oppress and murder them?

      She actually tried the “defensive weapons” line

      “I’m not giving them bombs to kill Palestinians, only anti-air missiles to shoot down any response to the genocide and keep it going without reprisal”

        Anti-air systems were used extensively against Hamas and Hezbollah and Yemeni rockets as well

        Basically, AOC, like most libs, only supports Palestinians if they’re meek weak victims and children. As soon as they stand up for themselves and fight for their survival and lives then they deserve the Israeli missile. Hence the Liberal mantra during the genocide that this was “only about killing Hamas” and then Israel would stop. They wanted Israel to kill Hamas, and they give rhetorical cover to the genocide while claiming to oppose it.

        Such “allies” are worse than useless. They’re confused at best, zionist at worst, and actively wreaking havoc in the pro-Palestine community with their bullshit rhetoric and Hamas condemnations. What kind of “ally” gives a fascist a gun to shoot me with?

    i just want one (1) journalist ask the following questions any of the nato “socdem” ghouls:

    do you support regime change in israel?

    do you support striking abu dhabi over sudan?

    do you support regime change war in saudi arabia? (over say, gay rights)

    do you support nuclear strike on tel aviv over its nuclear program and genocide?

    fucking cowards, the whole crowd of them, every single journalist is just a bunch of natsec worms

        Implying they prepare for such caliber of questions, you have to understand, these are not rhetorically gifted people, half the politicians cost on pre-approved and prepared questions (she still fucked up taiwan, so lmao anyway)
