The horrifyingly large number of Israelis, Jews, and foreign nationals slaughtered by Hamas terrorists in Israel was not yet known — indeed, it is still rising — when some of the Democratic Party’s most dedicated advocates of “social justice” called on Israel to stand down.
“An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives,” read a statement produced on Saturday from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Representative Cori Bush echoed this call for the Israeli government to acquiesce to the butchery of its people. “[A] military response will only exacerbate the suffering of Palestinians and Israelis alike,” she bemoaned. “We need a way to end this deadly violence that is killing and traumatizing generations of Israelis and Palestinians alike, Representative Jamaal Bowman insisted, “including the blockade of Gaza.” In calling for “de-escalation and ceasefire,” Representative Ilhan Omar warned,“Senseless violence will only repeat the back and forth cycle we’ve seen, which we cannot allow to continue.”
