U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has her knickers in a twist over Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) adding sorely missing context to her fevered opposition to Israel defending itself against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

Fetterman was responding to an article from The Hill reporting on AOC criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for supporting an “unrestrained” Israel while calling for an arms embargo.

The squad member posted on X: “The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals. This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.”

It was almost as if the radical Democrat was sending out a Hamas press release, which prompted Fetterman to fill in the blanks with a healthy dose of the truth.

“The tragedy in Gaza is 100% on Hamas. Stop using civilians and hospitals as shields, surrender, and release all remaining hostages—and this ends,” the junior senator from Pennsylvania replied.

AOC was quick to clap back, saying she cared about children dying — Palestinian children, not Israeli children.

“I dunno man. I care about little kids dying. I care about human rights. I care that billions of US tax dollars’ worth of weapons are carrying out unspeakable atrocities. I care enough for us to do better,” she posted. “Hope this bleak dunk attempt gets you whatever it is you’re going for.”

I care enough for us to do better.

Ironically, Ocasio-Cortez was called out from those inside her own tent for her hypocrisy in supporting Kamala Harris, who continues to voice support for Israel:

If AOC really cared about “little kids dying…human rights…that billions of US tax dollars’ worth of weapons are carrying out unspeakable atrocities”?

She’d withdraw her support for #HolocaustHarris.

But AOC refuses. And continues to support Harris. Just another hypocrite.

I’m glad you care. But doing better isn’t possible with Harris. And you know that.

So your choice at this moment of history is simple.

Do you endorse Harris and more genocide, or do you actually demand we do better by doing something meaningful about it, and endorse the anti…

But then, the former Bronx bartender is usually outclassed when she engages on an issue, due to the limited quantity of arrows in her intellectual quiver.

Here’s a quick sampling of other responses to the story, as seen on X:

You can’t say you care about kids while being pro-abortion.

I dunno man. You’re indirectly perpetuating unspeakable atrocities against Palestinian children by singularly condemning Israel, emboldening terrorists to sacrifice more children in the name of resistance. Whether your moral blindness stems from malice or ignorance is irrelevant.

You should demand that Hamas release the people it kidnapped and surrender.

— Max (@MaxNordau) October 15, 2024

Shame you don’t seem to care about Hamas or Hezbollah using little kids as human shields or still holding Israelis hostage.

— Arsen Ostrovsky ️ (@Ostrov_A) October 15, 2024

Hamas is a cancer on the Palestinian people.

If you really care about little kids dying, you’d do everything in your power to support Israel in destroying Hamas.

The sooner you and your cronies figure this it out, the better.

And show some respect to Senator Fetterman, he’s…
