AOC: ‘This Is What We’ve Seen with Gaza—a New Era of Depravity’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Well, I think — you know, I have to read the reporting that you’re talking about. But this is what we’ve seen with Gaza, right? This is the — a new kind of era of depravity opened up where there used to be or there was this stated commitment on human rights, that innocent civilians were [inaudible] and what has transpired is that now it’s kind of become acceptable that the entire Western world will look the other way as they starve and deprive of people because they find political actors or political regimes in that country to be objectionable. And so, what we are seeing here is the possible precipice of hospitals running out of fuel. You know, we’re talking about innocent children, women, that could be put in harm’s way. And so, again, I have to look at the — at the details of the recording that you’re sharing regarding Rubio specifically. But I think it’s incumbent upon all of us to defend human rights no matter where.”
