Re: Some of the stupid people you can have in govt.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took some heat on Sunday for an X post
supporting the Biden administration�s decision to put a hold on some military
aid headed for Israel.

Ocasio-Cortez shared a report from Axios � which noted that it was the first
time since Hamas launched unprovoked attacks on Israel on October 7th that
the United States had stopped a shipment of ammunition headed to Israel, and
that Biden�s concerns about an Israeli offensive in Rafah could be behind the
decision.

�The United States has an obligation to uphold its own laws and to respect
human rights globally. Amidst the Israeli gov�s siege on Gaza, blocking
humanitarian aid, and threats on Rafah, withholding US military aid is a
major development towards ceasefire,� Ocasio-Cortez posted via X.

Critics quickly pointed out the fact that Hamas terrorists � in addition to
starting the current war with the October 7th terror attacks � could easily
bring about a ceasefire simply by releasing all of the remaining hostages.

�AOC, On Holocaust remembrance day you spread blood libels, intentionally
obscuring the truth: Hamas launched rockets from Rafah at the Kerem Shalom
crossing today. The only siege is of Hamas, holding their own people� and 133
Israeli hostages� captive,� Hen Mazzig posted.

�Do you have a comment on how Hamas bombed the Kerem Shalom crossing � where
Israel had based its aid efforts out of? You sent this after that happened,�
Bethany Mandel added.

�Biden & Schumer are dancing to the Squad�s anti-Israel hatred,� Senator Ted

Marc Leibowitz commented, �When the lunatic fringe applauds @JoeBiden�s
withholding of ammunition from @Israel while she is fighting a multi-front
war following the 10/7 atrocities on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day,
you know that there is zero distinction between the adults in the room and
the nuts.�

�I feel like someone once got impeached for being accused of withholding
congressionally mandated foreign aid for political reasons. But apparently
it�s something to brag about now?� NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said.
