AOC Slams Biden Admin as "Shameful"

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has criticized the Biden administration for vetoing a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The U.S. was the only country to vote against the resolution, with 13 countries in favor and the United Kingdom abstaining. Ocasio-Cortez accused the administration of contradicting its professed concern for Palestinians and human rights by supporting the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. Senator Bernie Sanders also denounced the U.S. veto, calling for immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza. Protests have erupted worldwide, demanding a ceasefire and expressing concerns about the treatment of Palestinians. The Biden administration has acknowledged Israel's failure to protect civilians but has refrained from calling for a ceasefire, citing the risk of further attacks by Hamas.
