<p>New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and fellow member of her openly antisemitic “Squad,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) have demanded that President Joe Biden halt any further support of Israel over the recent airstrikes on Rafah. ;</p>



<p>AOC said in a statement that Sunday night’s bombing of a “tent zone of innocents” in Rafah “an indefensible atrocity.”</p>



<p>In her comments posted to X, the left-wing firebrand said the bombing by the Israel Defense Forces — which, according to Gaza health officials, allegedly killed an estimated 45 people and wounded hundreds more — &#8220;was done in open defiance of President Biden&#8217;s red line and the [International Court of Justice&#8217;s] call for a ceasefire. It is long past time for the President to live up to his word and suspend military aid.&#8221;</p>



<p>She added that it is “long past due” for Biden to “live up to his word” and stop military aid shipments to Israel, following through on a threat made earlier this month in an attempt to prevent Israeli attacks on Rafah.</p>



<p>AOC has long accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, falsely claiming Israel was intentionally creating a famine in Gaza. The representative has also failed to condemn the sexual violence conducted by Hamas on October 7.</p>



<p>Jayapal (D-Wash.), who has been censured by the House in the past for making antisemitic statements, described the attack as “horrific,” one that killed “innocent children, women and elderly.”</p>



<p>“This IS an incursion into Rafah,” Jayapal added, “the very incursion that President Biden said he would not tolerate and would lead to stopping aid. It’s past time. There is nowhere safe in Gaza.”</p>



<p>In July of 2023, just a few months before the horrific October 7 attacks, Jayapal referred to Israel as a “racist state.” In May, a pro-Israel Democrat, Maxine Dexter, totally trounced Jayapal’s sister Susheela in an Oregon House primary, a strong indication that the party’s far-left wing may be alienating voters over its support for Gaza.</p>
