The 'Squad' Responds to the Palestinian Murder Spree in the Most Morally Bankrupt Way

Hundreds are dead, thousands are injured, and dozens have been kidnapped after Palestinian terrorists invaded Israel overnight. Horrifying scenes played out, with women and children being tortured and murdered in the streets. 

The Israeli response is already well underway. Airstrikes have been slamming the Gaza Strip, and shortly before dark, electricity was cut to the area, paving the way for ground forces to operate. A full-scale invasion is imminent. 

With that said, most American politicians have shown solidarity with Israel given the abject evil being perpetrated in what some are calling the nation's Pearl Harbor. Then there's the so-called "squad," which consists of House representatives Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others. 

It wasn't long before those in the group who did speak settled on a narrative. Namely, they want an "immediate ceasefire."

Let's be clear about what's really being asked here. For 18 hours, Pressley and Omar said nothing as Palestinian terrorists murdered families in cold blood. Only once Israel gathered itself and began to exact a cost for those heinous war crimes did the "squad" decide it was time for a ceasefire. That's deliberate, in my opinion. Like the Palestinians themselves, Omar and Pressley want the terrorists they support to be able to rape and murder without paying a real cost. 

Remember when you were a kid and you'd try to call time-out right before your friend was going to beat you at whatever game you were playing? The "squad" wants a time-out just in time to save Hamas from destruction. It's a morally bankrupt position wrapped in the facade of caring about human life.

Israel's answer should be an unequivocal no, and it looks like it will be given the reports of their forces amassing to enter the Gaza Strip. This is not the time for them to disengage and let these terrorists off the hook. Doing so would only guarantee further violence. The Palestinians pushed too far, and nothing short of the total destruction of Hamas will suffice.

AOC and the NYC DSA's Responses to Hamas Terrorist Attacks on Israel

It would be hard for anybody to justify or spin the dastardly attacks on Israel by Hamas.

But that isn't stopping some from coming out with bad reactions, like some of the Squad members, suggesting that now that Hamas has viciously attacked, it's time not to respond but to call for a ceasefire, as opposed to dealing with the terrorist murderers.  

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)  followed in line with other Squad members calling for an immediate ceasefire. She also spoke about the "oppression and occupation" more than she spoke about the murder of hundreds of Israelis by Hamas.  

From her other account, AOC also "liked" this misleading post, which attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response. 

But this might not come as much of a surprise if you've followed her track record on the subject; she's pushed the far-left nonsense for years in regard to Israel. 

She's also been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Let's check out their response. They're standing "in solidarity" with the Hamas terrorists, calling for people to come out and "free Palestine." 

Let's also check out the DSA's guidance, which makes clear that they know that the "protesters" may be engaging in breaking the law. 

"Mask up and don't post pics of yourself and others," they advise in their post. "Don't discuss stuff that may or may not have happened, just don't." 

In case that isn't clear, they're not advising wearing a mask for COVID protection; they're advising masks and not posting pictures so they can't be identified by the police when the "action" starts to go potentially criminal. 

So here's a good question for reporters: Ask AOC and her other DSA-associated brethren in Congress their opinion on this "action" by the DSA. Put them on the spot and hold them accountable for such actions. Ask if they will renounce this group that is now explicitly supporting such attacks. I doubt you will get any kind of honest response. Many people called out the association with the Democrats and called out this "protest."
