Democratic Member of the US Congress: Israel is a war criminal

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in an interview with MSNBC, calling for a ceasefire, said: “I do not support Hamas, but Israel is committing war crimes.” She stressed: “Hamas has launched powerful attacks, but we know that war crimes are not an adequate response. Israel bombs the Gaza Strip and its population and is accused of committing similar crimes.” Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar Ocasio-Cortez is not the first representative to defend the rights of the Palestinian people; before her, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, two representatives of the Democratic Party, clearly expressed their opposition to Israel's crimes against the Palestinians and the silence of Western leaders. For more than 7 decades, soldiers of the occupying Quds regime (Jerusalem) have daily attacked towns, villages and Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank, Quds and Gaza Strip, and deprived the oppressed Palestinian refugees of peace and security, causing the martyrdom and injury of thousands of Palestinians. , and more than 5 thousand Palestinians faced the worst conditions.

The continued racist approach of the Zionist regime and the murder of the oppressed Palestinian people led the Palestinian resistance to deal heavy and irreparable blows to the regime in Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of at least 2,000 Zionists. Therefore, the Zionist regime resorted to killing civilians and the oppressed Palestinian people to compensate for its terrible defeat, as well as to destroy residential, medical, mosques and gathering places of Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, resulting in more than 7 thousand Palestinian deaths, most of them children and women. So far, 7,165 Palestinians have been martyred and 82,000 injured in these attacks, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Most of the victims are children and women.
