AOC Condemns Israel and Hamas for War Crimes

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accuses Israel of committing "war crimes" in its retaliation against Hamas, while also denouncing Hamas for their own war crimes. She argues that there is an "asymmetry" between the two sides and criticizes Israel's response as "collective punishment" and an "indiscriminate bombing campaign." Ocasio-Cortez highlights the use of banned chemicals, such as white phosphorus, by Israeli forces and calls for a cease-fire. Her position puts her at odds with many top Democrats, but she contends that Palestinian voices have been largely ignored in Congress.
