AOC Stands By 'Genocide' Claim, Citing Gaza Humanitarian Crisis
-
AOC defended her speech accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, citing "forced famine" of 1.1 million people.
-
Pro-Palestinian protesters previously confronted AOC for not using the term "genocide." She dropped an f-bomb and said she had used the term before.
-
Famine has been projected in northern Gaza between mid-March and May 2024.
-
Amid political pressure, Biden has shifted his tone, calling Israeli actions "over the top" and warning against invading Rafah without civilian protections.
-
AOC said she would not vote for Speaker Johnson and would likely vote for Speaker Jeffries, urging Democrats not to support Johnson "out of sympathy."
