Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a member of the progressive “Squad” in the U.S. House of Representatives, faced off with far-left activists on Monday who are angry that she has not embraced their extremist rhetoric labeling Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip as an effort to exterminate all Palestinians.
The 34-year-old legislator denied their assertion, saying that she had indeed used the term “genocide” to describe the conflict that began on Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists infiltrated the southern border with Israel and murdered 1,200 people, wounded thousands and dragged more than 250 men, women and children back into Gaza—134 who are still being held captive there, with 32 presumed to be dead.
