@@sdgdhpmbp _(Please forgive the pomposity of my verbosity in this lengthy reply.....)_ She is likely coached in regard to every public move she makes. However, before I rebut your comment, let me thank you for the first intelligent opinion _(with which I disagree)_ that puts forth that she was not in error, but rather, as you stated. I get pretty tired of playing Whac-A-Mole with children, as has occurred elsewhere on this page, so again, thanks for putting forth a friendly and reasonable intelligent argument. I submit, however that your Achilles heel is that _"...she went slow to choose her words"._ Assuming she was as you say coached and well prepared; as I believe she always is, then she would have expected this volatile point to come up, and would have already planned how she would respond; and not hesitated in the moment on camera, as she did. I submit that based upon the context of her rhetoric and considering the source _(herself),_ that it was a rare momentary lapse of reason, which I have never seen before with AOC, and would not expect. But it happens. She is human. We dunno what kind of day she had, my friend. She didn't need anyone to tell her how deep the support for Israel goes. She knows. Nor would she be inclined to minimize the point, other than to use a much better choice of words to maintain, as you suggest, diplomacy so as not to alienate the hard core IDF supporters, AND avoid derailing the interview in one swell foop. She is not among those who wish to justify or minimize what happened, and she has been pretty clear about that. The gist of my argument is supported by her entire history and its outspoken consistency, like Katie Porter; and just like Jamie Raskin, Senator Whitehouse, or Bernie...... she is always prepared, fearless, brilliant, and can cut MTG and Lowrent Boobhurt to ribbons before breakfast on her worst day. And I have never seen a hint of her playing the attractive woman card, which is why those on the right single her out, but not Katie Porter. But I digress. I further submit that if you are correct, that contradicts her entire history and consistently progressive clearly stated position. I believe her awareness of the potential rabbit hole on this point caused her to attempt to strike a balance between openly telling it like it is and doing what she did, which is totally drop the ball. I say it was a bit of brain freeze, and nothing more. Had she been blunt, which is necessary but not necessarily then and there... _(timing is everything....)._ If she had done it there it could have derailed the rest of the interview and dominated it, as well as alienated some she is actively trying to enlist in support, as you stated. Sorry for the length of this reply. I could go on, but I trust you see my POV. Thanks again for the reasonable, intelligent reply.

Global power relationships shift slowly, much more slowly that I (and most of us) would like to see. But there is a shift in the wind, it seems to me. The Israeli state, and in particular Netanyahu, has demonstrated an unwillingness to exhibit and occupy a moral high ground. The U.S. has demonstrated its support for Israel, rhetorically and militarily. Now, it would be hard to argue a lack of U.S. support for Israel if it shifted its effective policy toward Israel by conditioning further foreign aid to Israel with requirements that it abide by international law and respect and protect human rights in the region. And backing that up. That could, it seems to me, have positive impacts in that region and also strengthen the U.S. morally and relationally in the eyes of the world.

Her father was born in the US from Puerto Rican parents and her mother was born in PR. Puerto Rico is part of the US, therefore islanders that move or migrate to a US state, are not immigrants. Also, she didn't study law, she completed a BA in Economics and International Relations.

Perhaps you googled the wrong name. Or at least let's hope so. Because this is not a bio of Ocasio-Cortez. She didn't have to work too hard. And she did not study law. And her parents would definitely not like being called immigrants.

@@lisagulick4144 Again, not sure where you're getting your information. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes from middle class suburbia. Her father was an architect and did well for himself and his family. She went to Boston University and studied economics. Her father passed away in her sophomore year of college and left her and her mother comfortable. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only courts and serves the wealthy. Remember the Met Gala? She ignores her constituents and their needs.She does nothing to help the poor and the homeless, except to walk away from them so she doesn't get her expensive shoes dirty.

​@fongponto , Hamas struck first and Israel had the right to retaliate. There are Palestinians that are not terrorists but Israel was given the land of Israel by God and the United Nations in 1948 because of the Holocaust.

@@amyreynolds3619 Hamas only exists as retaliation itself. You really think this began on Oct 7th? REALLY? Heck, Netanyahu funded and enabled Hamas... He doesn't care about any hostages.

Over 33,000 Palestinian civilians most of whom were women and children have been murdered in the 'retaliation'. "oh Hamas uses them as human shields".

Finally! Someone who has the courage and integrity to call a spade a spade including pointing out how the hostages being held in Gaza are also in danger of losing their lives from the continuing attacks and orchestrated starvation of innocents. Everything she says is so profound and deeply truthful and thank goodness there is someone like her in Congress who has a platform to speak truth without spin.

She is really good! I have enjoyed her silencing some of the gops, and can guess she was a high school and college debater.

She thinks before and while she is speaking, the mark of an intelligent and caring person. I love to hear her take down the MAGA fools who try and spar with her.

You're just a hypocrite who hasn't spent much time learning about the history of Israel and the history of the region. Shameful! And the reason there's an "occupation" in the West Bank is because instead of living peacefully alongside Israelis, Palestinians in the West Bank have consistently chosen the path of terror and refuse to live in peace with Jewish Israelis. And the Palestinians/Palestinian leadership could have turned Gaza into a flourishing state, but instead chose to use billions of dollars of aid to create a terrorist state.
