Progressive “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whined about the pager attack targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists — and accused Israel of “unequivocally” violating international law.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) demanded a “full accounting of the attack” Wednesday, including a probe into whether the US was involved, after a highly-coordinated operation detonated thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
The blasts killed at least 12 people, including two young children, and wounded nearly 3,000, according to Lebanese authorities.
The majority of those hit were members or linked to members of Hezbollah.
“Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians,” the Queens and Bronx congresswoman seethed on X.
“This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”...
Ocasio-Cortez has long been fiercely critical of Israel, having accused the US ally of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
She has faced pressure from her far-left flank to be even more forceful against Israel, having previously been hounded by anti-Israel hecklers.
The progressive darling’s criticism of Israel drew fierce blowback.
“[AOC’s] first-ever post about Hezbollah is to condemn Israel for killing Hezbollah terrorists. Not a word about 8,500 rockets since October 8. Not a word about 12 Israeli kids killed playing on a soccer field. Not a word about Iran funding and arming Hezbollah. Revealing,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee posted on X.

Sod off, dearie, and go pour me a drink.
Fact is, if Russia had done somthing similar to Ukraine, or China to Taiwan, or if Iran had pulled off something similar against sainted Israel, everyone laughing about this would be screeching that “it’s a war crime”... “international law”...etc.
Just shows that “international law”. and frankly “war crimes” are really meaning-less concepts on pieces of paper.
A “Constitution” for international relations, if you will.
Don’t worry about that 3rd-world hyena. She probably would’ve rooted for Goliath. Or Wile E Coyote,
There are no innocent children in the Gaza. These kids will all grow up to be terriosts.
Israel did no such thing. Republicans need to set aside some money in the budget so they can study Democrat brains.
She reminds me of a particularly noxious oral fart. Nothing of substance said and can’t wait til it passes. She has no business in Congress, she’s just a no-brain hate agitator.
Democrats don’t have brains, only gonads, so what is to study?
War is not pretty. Unfortunately innocents die. If Hezbollah and Hamas did not attack military and innocents in Israel no one would die.
We burned Japan and Germany to ashes and then dropped atomics on Japan. It was obscenely brutal. It worked. They surrendered. Many innocents died. Our losses to invade Japan conventionally without atomic bombs would have been horrible in the extreme.
CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP TO DOGS OF WAR, otherwise you will lose the war. If your enemy knows you will do this, you will not need to go to war.
YOU CAN NOT STUDY WHAT DOES NOT EXIST!!!!
Just think of it as very late term abortions, Sandy.
There you go again, talking sense!
Regards,
Get me another beer, sweetheart.
Killing innocents? Children? You mean like abortion AOC?
AOC’s selective outrage is just a performance. If Israel told Biden about the operation, he would have leaked it. Hezbollah is more embarrassed than angry at the casualties by being duped so bad. Making them victim of a terrorist attack is a dose of their own medicine.
Sounds like one of AOC’s staffers was injured when they were checking AOC’s messages from Hezbollah...
I tend to think of a ‘war crime’ as... mines/chemical war fare, mistreatment of prisoners, rape/murder on the battle field of non-combatants.
I do not, and sure its horrible, but I do not believe collateral damage in and of itself can be a ‘war crime’ as then there’d be no way to have war at all.
Jews are a violation of international law in AOC’s little Nazi mind. International law is mostly for Jew haters to justify their hate and evil.
If something can give Israel negative publicity, their children are expendable.
