I admire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to wiggle. Not in any kind of sensual sense; I mean ideological wiggling, and her ideas are about as sensual as hitting your finger with a hammer. She moves from one borderline to another, from the United States’ to Israel’s, and, having the opportunity to choose between at least two sides, she always manages to lean toward the side of crime. But this time she has gone the extra mile, and I’m not just saying that because she has gone all the way to Israel but because her latest speech might even seem too radical — even to Mohammed Deif, the Hamas terrorist leader. After all, Deif said on Saturday that the day to “end the last occupation on Earth” had come, while AOC, in her apparent condemnation of last Saturday’s attack, managed to mention in the same sentence “Hamas’s horrifying attacks” and the “grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.”

There is a pattern among Democrats that combines extremism and stupidity. AOC was not alone in simultaneously attacking Israel and trying to condemn the attack on Israel. Rashida Tlaib, Palestinian-American democrat for Michigan, spoke of “apartheid” in reference to Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, and Ilhan Omar, democrat for Minnesota, accused Israel of “war crime[s].”
Perhaps the most galling thing about AOC is her insistence on playing the sentimental card in every game. Ocasio-Cortez is the only politician I’ve ever known to always seem to be on the verge of bursting into tears, whether she’s talking about taxing the rich, the attack on Israel, or the asexual habits of amoebas reproducing by binary fission — it doesn’t matter.
Rep. Sara Jacobs has released a statement on the evacuation of Gaza that Israel demands, and AOC shared it on her social media almost before Jacobs finished writing it. Jacobs has done exactly what Hamas likes idiot far-left politicians in the West to do the most: condemning the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians in one sentence and devoting the other 22 lines to slandering Israel and whining about the civilians in Gaza. Can anyone tell this lady that the civilians in Gaza can’t get the hell out of there because, at best, they are being held hostage by Hamas or, at worst, they want to kill Jews too? Can someone tell Jacobs and AOC that Hamas is asking Palestinians to take their children to the border to confront the Israeli military, i.e., to use them as human shields? It is very difficult to face an army of beasts that does not even respect its own babies, but surrendering to their blackmail can never be a solution.
Jacobs and AOC cry because it is impossible to evacuate all civilians and demand that Israel “reconsider its position,” instead of demanding that Hamas let them leave through the humanitarian corridor, which would be the reasonable thing to do. By now Hamas knows that several prominent leaders of the Democratic Party — Joe Biden’s party — are dynamiting from within the administration’s initial unwavering response in support of Israel and its legitimate self-defense. Those pigs, if they drank alcohol, would be toasting with champagne and laughing their heads off at all AOC’s whimpering.
But even if what AOC says were true, thousands of Palestinian civilians completely unrelated to Hamas would be held hostage by terrorists inside their homes, and, therefore, rather than asking Israel to “reconsider its position,” they should be asked to accelerate their operation, because these civilians also deserve to be freed from the hands of these savage hyenas as soon as possible.
War is horrible. War is ugly, unjust, painful, and cruel. This is not a new discovery. But Americans know better than anyone that if it weren’t for certain wars — bloody and terrifying, if you will — they could never have been the nation of freedom, the great beacon of liberty in the West. Hopefully someone with patience and a good predisposition will explain this to AOC and her gang of useful idiots before they convince Biden to once again become a global ridicule in foreign policy.
