AOC says US military aid to ‘Israel’ enabled Gaza genocide

US Demoract Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated during a panel at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that unconditional American military aid to ‘Israel’ has enabled a genocide in Gaza.

Speaking on the future of foreign policy, she argued that such aid contributed to the avoidable deaths of thousands of women and children amid the ongoing ‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza.

In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez invoked the Leahy laws, US statutes that prohibit military assistance to foreign entities implicated in gross human rights violations without accountability.

She contended that providing aid without conditions "does not make sense" and directly facilitated the genocide, linking it to civilian casualties in Gaza.
