Interestingly, for those who take pleasure in witnessing the self-destruction of the woke left as their internal conflicts intensify, the social media exchange between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) regarding Israel and Hamas persists. Sen. Fetterman responded after AOC accused him of making a “bleak dunk attempt” in response to his criticism of her views on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The disagreement originated from a post by AOC concerning the Biden-Harris Administration’s position on the war in Gaza, where she condemned Israel’s actions as “unrestrained” and urged the American government to “stop enabling” the war to assist the Palestinian civilians suffering due to the conflict.
In her assertive post, she stated, “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. This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.”
The Hill, a news outlet focused on Washington, DC, published an article about her tweet, titled, “Ocasio-Cortez criticizes Biden administration over ‘unrestrained’ Israel government.” Sen. Fetterman utilized a screenshot of that article to respond to AOC, tweeting, “The tragedy in Gaza is 100% on Hamas. Stop using civilians and hospitals as shields, surrender, and release all remaining hostages—and this ends.”
