US legislator Alexandria Ocasio Cortez calls Israel an ‘apartheid state’. Prominent US progressive Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has called Israel an “apartheid state” amid the ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the US House of Representatives, is part of a cadre of progressive legislators who have been increasingly critical of US support for Israel and have called for the administration of President Joe Biden to take a harder line amid the most recent escalation. “I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Saturday along with a video of an Israeli air strike demolishing a building that had house media offices, including those of Al Jazeera and the Associated Press. “If the Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to?” she wrote. In a following tweet, she added: “Apartheid states aren’t democracies.” # Ahmadinejad #AOC #Israel #Meganews #news None of these images, music & video clips were created/ owned by us. -This video is purely fan-made, if you (owners) have seen your content and want to remove this video, please message us privately or mail us: ([email protected]) before doing anything.
