I'm surprised Omar said something, tbh.

Other than AOC, hasn't their profile been much lower of late?

The problem with the 24-hour news cycle, is that in days of yore, these idiots wouldn't have even warranted a mention on Page 8.

Even AOC's been lower profile than ... 28 months ago.

I guess discovering that this administration also put kids in cages was just too much to bear.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe they’re among the kids who have been effectively caged.

Governor Whitmer’s response was meaningless blather, worse than any of the above.

Stunning too.

I'm almost tempted to say "I stand with Israel" on my FB profile.

[George K]

He's a "squadder", right?

[George K]

Another squadder....

Omar...

[Copper]

I wish our congresspeople could read and write English.

Yes. I think we should also send our thoughts and prayers.

That, combined with your statement should be enough to bring things to a peaceful end.

She has the actual BALLS to complain of war crimes.

And never calls for the release of the human shields hostages.

[Renauda]

Useful idiots but all the same, fanatics in their own idiocy . Plain and simple.

[George K]

For decades, I've heard the story of how the Israelis have oppressed the Palestinians who live "under Israeli occupation." How Israel has created an apartheid state, and is committing genocide.

Where do they get this stuff?

From American politicians, who send them money.

They send hundreds of millions - on pallets.

You remember

AOC:

“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she said.
