In a tele-town hall meeting this week, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York asserted that Israel is utilizing U.S. military aid to infringe upon human rights in Gaza.
The congresswoman expressed this viewpoint in response to a caller advocating for the Biden administration to defund Israel, citing the sentiments of numerous constituents demanding a cease-fire and conditioning of aid.
“Thousands of confirmed constituents have been calling into my office, calling for a cease-fire, calling for the conditioning of aid,” she said in a video clip posted by Forbes. “It’s not just my view, but it’s also the view of our community that what we are witnessing is the gross violation of human rights in Gaza that is being done with U.S. military assistance.
“One of the things I have been raising continually is the nature of U.S. aid to Israel and how unique it has been and the way that, in my view, it has been potentially added to the unreal human costs off what we’re seeing in Gaza.
“The United States does not condition the aid to Israel, not in the way it does to nearly any one of other allies. We’ve heard this sentiment repeated by the U.S. administration saying that there’s no ‘red line’ when it comes to us aid to Israel. I want to be clear that I’m in complete disagreement and opposition to that policy.”
Ocasio-Cortez claimed the U.S. is “risking writing a blank check for atrocities” by continuing the unchecked military aid policy to Israel. “And I do not believe that is a responsible policy,” she said.
The New York Post had previously reported her accusations against Israel of committing “war crimes” in response to Hamas attacks on October 7, during which 1,200 Israelis were reportedly killed. This week, she reiterated, “War crimes don’t further constitute and justify war crimes.”

Over the past 40 years, I have always been amazed
by people who never criticize human rights violations
in places like: Russia, China, Iran, Syria (and the entire Arab world),
North Korea, and Gaza, who suddenly become
human rights activists, so they can make accusations against Israel.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
“Critics of Israel who generally take no interest in human rights or civil liberties…
have some explaining to do as to why they single out
Israel for special condemnation.
The same, of course, is true of nations with abominable
records on human rights, who lecture and hector Israel
on its lack of perfection in those areas.”
