      Why do you think she doesn’t care about people dying? What would make you think that?

            “I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms. No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region.”

            Yeah, cant take it seriously.

              Yes, completely expected that despite her calling for a ceasefire, you would find something objectionable that is also 100% disqualifying. Weird that what you chose is the condemnation of a terrorist attack but okay.

                Resistance to colonization is not terrorism. Its a really weird point coming from people who praise so much your own fight against the British colonization

                  Resistance to colonization is not terrorism.

                  It is literally, by definition, terrorism in this case. What you meant to say, if you put any thought into your position, is that terrorism isn’t always bad. A significant weaker force using gorilla tactics and politics to fight a stronger force is the only hope they have to succeed. No one can expect Palestine to resist using conventional warfare.

                  Terrorism is a tool. The US engages in terrorism constantly. The police enforce their rule (in the US) by using terrorism. Just about every government uses terrorism. It’s just only ok (as decided by the elites) when it’s state sanctioned and by a stronger force against a weaker one.

                    By definition by who? Can Hamas have saying in that too?

                    I define it as counter terrorism, since its against the terrorist occupation of palestine by settlers

                    Terrorizing military targets is completely different from terrorizing civilians. Civilian terrorism has never been an effective tool for the people doing the terrorism. It has always resulted in a huge backlash that basically destroys whatever movement it’s working for.

          If you want actual quotes from AOC, look at her social media. The mainstream media, where you likely got these false notions about when she called for a ceasefire from, is invested in getting her out of office.

      Look this is true but AT LEAST it’s how politics is supposed to work, it’s not about choosing the most ethically and morally consistent person, it’s about having a person in the seat who will vote the way their constituents want, no more
