This looks like a bad-faith AOC attack piece. I'm sure she's not perfect. I'm also sure that she's a better, more ethical politician than most in the USA (which isn't saying much, you guys have awful politicians).

One might wonder why you choose to post this, instead of focusing on the way, way, way worse things also going on over there.

Quite telling.

    Because it's the truth. Because having a full picture of the situation is important for informed decision making. Because ignoring any news that makes 'your side' look bad is what magas do.

    AOC clarified she supports sending weapons to Israel and this was not a mistake. https://lemmy.ml/post/33383345

    Uh-huh. https://i.redd.it/i2u9r76ylvdf1.jpeg

    I don't have all the info she does. I do abhor the war on Gaza and am against violence, especially the genocidal kind we see here. I also don't think there's an easy solution to the problem, nor that MTG's proposal would have done anything good.

    Let's just say we're mostly on the same side of this matter, nitpicking over details.
