Far Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wasted no time condemning Israel for the simultaneous explosion of pagers across Lebanon last week targeting Hezbollah users of the communication devices. “Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians,” she posted on X. “This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”
AOC failed to mention that Hezbollah attacked Israel first on the day after Hamas’s brutal massacres, rapes, torture, and kidnappings of innocent civilians inside Israel on October 7th. Hezbollah’s assault was an unprovoked act of aggression against Israeli civilian population centers that in truth, using AOC’s own words, “clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) also chimed in. “Netanyahu’s reckless disregard for civilian lives in the pager attack in Lebanon is yet another example of why we need to cut off military aid,” she posted on X.
AOC and Omar are part of a growing anti-Israel caucus in the House of Representatives aligned with the pro-terrorist activists in the United States who have questioned the Jewish state’s right to exist.
Hezbollah claimed that it undertook its aggressive action in “solidarity” with the Hamas terrorists. Israel responded with proportionate force. Hezbollah has not ceased its relentless bombardment of communities in northern Israel with rockets and drones on a near daily basis and vows that it will continue its attacks until there is a permanent ceasefire in Gaza acceptable to Hamas. One of those barrages was aimed directly at a sports field that killed twelve innocent children. At least 60,000 people in northern Israel have been displaced. Yet, AOC and the rest of the Israel-hating caucus in the House of Representatives expects Israel not to take effective countermeasures to defend its citizens against unrelenting terrorist attacks.
Israel has not acknowledged publicly that it was responsible for detonating the pagers or for the next day’s detonations of the walkie-talkies used by the Hezbollah terrorists. However, there are indications that Israel had indeed used its extraordinary ingenuity to plan and execute this complex, precisely targeted operation that has inflicted major military and psychological damage upon Hezbollah while minimizing civilian casualties.
Terrorizing the terrorists with their own communications devices is a brilliant maneuver. But according to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Omar, even Israel’s precisely targeted operation to defend its civilians against the Hezbollah terrorists’ continuing launches of rockets and drones is a violation of international law. They and the rest of the Israel-hating House caucus would be perfectly at home with the Israel-hating mob at the United Nations known as the General Assembly.
With a recorded vote of 124 nations in favor, 14 nations against, and 43 abstentions, the UN General Assembly passed its most virulently anti-Israel resolution yet on September 18th. This despicable act of “diplomatic” jihad against the Jewish state was set in motion by the UN’s “Observer State of Palestine.” The Palestinians exploited the privilege previously granted by the General Assembly to introduce draft resolutions to the General Assembly for its consideration. Fortunately, General Assembly resolutions, including this outrageous one, have no legally binding effect under international law.
Not surprisingly, the Palestinian crafted resolution paints Israel as the sole villain in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The barbarism committed against innocent civilians in Israel on October 7th and against the hostages held in captivity in Gaza that the Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad monsters committed receive no mention. The General Assembly still refuses to brand Hamas as a terrorist organization. The vast majority supporting this Palestinian resolution considers the terrorists legitimate “resistance” fighters.
This resolution calls for Israel not only to immediately cease all new settlement activity but also to remove Jews who settled from whatever areas the United Nations defines as “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” This would include Jerusalem’s Old City, the location of Judaism’s holiest sites, in what the UN refers to as East Jerusalem. Doing the Palestinians’ bidding, the General Assembly has backed what amounts to judenrein – i.e., no Jews allowed to enter or reside in the Old City. This would mean reverting to the time when Jordan illegally occupied Jerusalem before June 1967 and kicked out the Jews living there.
The General Assembly resolution also demands that Israel pay “reparation for the damage caused to all the natural and legal persons concerned in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” and that Israel allow “all Palestinians displaced during the occupation to return to their original place of residence.”
Furthermore, the resolution calls upon all UN member states to “take steps towards ceasing the importation of any products originating in the Israeli settlements, as well as the provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel, the occupying Power, in all cases where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that they may be used in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
In other words, the UN General Assembly is calling for what amounts to a boycott aimed at crippling Israel economically. And it is calling for an arms embargo that would prevent Israel from defending its own citizens against Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other genocidal terrorist thugs backed by Iran as well as against Iran itself. But the General Assembly resolution imposes no restrictions at all on arms sent by the Iranian regime to these same terrorist proxies.
The General Assembly referenced in its resolution the International Court of Justice’s findings in its non-binding advisory opinion that was stacked entirely against Israel. The General Assembly itself had requested this opinion in a scheme to confer a gloss of supposed “judicial” legitimacy on its abhorrent attempt to delegitimize the Jewish homeland.
The first anniversary of the horrific Palestinian terrorists’ invasion of Israel and savage attacks on innocent civilians is approaching. But the UN General Assembly is now on record as being complicit with the Palestinian strategy to whitewash what happened on October 7th that precipitated the Gaza war and, instead, to demonize, delegitimize, discriminate against, and incapacitate Israel. It is complicit in calling for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the areas where their holiest sites are located.
The pro-terrorist rioters on campuses and in the streets who frequently shout “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” are also complicit. They are rallying around the battle cry for the Palestinians to take control of all land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and destroy the Jewish state of Israel.
When the House of Representatives passed a resolution last April condemning this slogan as anti-Semitic, forty-four House members —43 Democrats and one Republican — voted against it. The no votes were cast mostly by progressive Democrats, including Squad members Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rahsida Tlaib, along with one lone Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie.
Together with the vast majority of UN member states who voted in favor of the Palestinians’ totally one-sided General Assembly resolution to isolate and punish the Jewish state, they all belong in the anti-Semitic Hall of Shame.
Ilhan Omar immigrated to the USA on false pretenses. She should be deported.
NO Muslims should be allowed to immigrate to the USA at this juncture. They murder too many Jews and Christians to be a good fit into our social fabric.
I am so tired of these Jew-hating leftists who have allied themselves with Islamonazis. they are among the first who would be murdered should they ever truly gain control of this country. As for the UN, they are good for racking up parking tickets. The building should be turned into condos.
Ilhan Omar should be thrown out of the House and deported. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is too stupid to be in our House of Representatives and belongs back behind the bar handing out drinks, assuming she has brains enough to do that correctly; which I doubt!
Let alone be elected to congress..!
I disagree. Her intellect is a perfect fit for most of her D colleagues and even a few R ones.
I said less than that about Muslims on Halfbreit and got banned for life.
why are they still in our government!!!??
And yet they support the Assissnation of a former President(Trump)and encourage violence against Conservatives and all those who oppose the New World Order lead by the UN,DNC and CFR
The UN simply needs to be totally defunded by the US and kicked off US soil.
Oh really? Is that all? If you’re going to get rid of the UN then for Pete’s sake, do a thorough job of it!
Forcibly remove all occupants from the building and give them 24 hours to leave the country. Then demo the building into a pile of rubble. Recycle what can be recycled and dump what’s left in the nearest landfill.
That’s how you get rid of the UN!!
Wasn’t the UN created after the League of Nations, for the sole purpose of stopping wars?
Now, it seems they’re actively fomenting multiple wars around the globe.
San Francisco 1945. A time of starry eyed idealism. My Mom was in San Francisco on VJ day.
Still trying to figure out this Massie guy claiming to be a conservative libertarian, but usually voting with the far left.
He is from the anti-Semitic area of Kentucky in which George Clooney and Johnny Depp grew up.
In northeast Kentucky, you are either a Christian snob or a libertarian. (The Christians there ar snobs because they are north of southeast Kentucky, where Christians are friendly and, oh by the way, handle snakes.)
Why is AOC such a bitch?
She’s jealous that the satanic worshiping muslims prefer the goats over her…
Hell hath no fury like a whore who feels violated. ~
That is a very good question. I don’t even have a good answer. AOC is an antisemitic ego maniac with delusions of grandeur. She should have never been given the attention and platform that she has. Cortez is a media darling, and the media has created this undeserved image of her as a champion of the underdog. Her destiny is the lake of fire. She has no idea what is in store for her, and this includes the rest of the “squad.” You do not mess with the apple of God’s eye i.e. his chosen people. In the end, it will not bode well for her.
WHEN, NOT IF, JAHAD and the Sleeper Cells Awaken here, whose side with these Terrorist Supporters be on? Millions of other Americans?
These American Squad Jihadists took THE OATH and they’re not even following it now. There is no penalty or consequences for spitting on it! Imagine the NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS these traitors are passing on.
That also goes for NM Senator Martin Heinrich whose bigger supporters here, and associations, are with GERRY BRADLEY, who was head of the NM Marxist Educators for Socialist Action and whose guest speaker, George Meyers, the head of the Labor Department CPUSA, who advocated and screamed, “THE OVERTHROW OF THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FORCE IF NECESSARY! BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER!” Bradley, also at the same time, headed the NM Peace Council, an affiliate of the U.S. Peace Council run by the CPUSA. The World Peace Council was run by THE SOVIET KGB! Their Communist machine, with massive recruitment at universities, ELECTED HEINRICH and many other Communist-aligned members of Congress and the Senate… AND THE WHITE HOUSE which appointed the same recruits to head departments, now used to go after all political opponents!
THE OATH… HAHAHAHAHAHA! They’re laughing!
I’m just wondering if Hezbollah had pulled off a pager attack on Israel if AOC and Omar would have been outraged about it. Something tells me that atrocities committed by Hezbollah would be given a free pass by these two. I’m not saying the pager attack was ethical, I just question whether these 2 women really care about people more than they hate Israel.
You know the answer to that one! And the pager attack was brilliant! It was better than ethical – it really got the bad guys. No comment from Ocasio about the 12 Druze kids murdered by the Hezzies while playing soccer.
The murder of 12 Druze children does not fit AOC’s narrative.
Their rocket attacks against Israel rarely even make the news.
The pager attack was perfectly ethical. Israel targeted devices issued to serving Hezbollah operatives, and they activated each pager individually, thus ensuring that there was no-one else nearby when they blew up.
Well, I’ll say it was ethical. These terrorists deserve everything Israel can throw at them. They are scum of the earth!
AOC: A violation of “international humanitarian law”, a law that is unenforceable, as demonstrated in the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel. It seems obvious AOC doesn’t know what she is talking about, but that has become her trademark.
As far as that lopsided vote by the UN General Assembly goes, I suspect all votes coming from Islamic countries were aligned and those from others were a thinly veiled attempt to keep Muslim terrorist’s attacks away from their own countries.
It’s long past time to disband the UN, and while we’re at it, ban AOC also.
Since these two shitheads are so devoted to America’s enemies, perhaps they should both be shipped to Gaza to lend their support.
They’d find out the hard way how islam reciprocates their gratitude to women not clad head to toe in potato sack burkas.
The day is coming… where Israel will sign a fake Peace Treaty…
Da 9:27… “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
This will begin the 7 year Tribulation…
Who else does Israel have to sign a Peace Treaty with? Other than satanic islam… <<< No one…
I hope you are consumed by it, tough guy.
Yes Intrepid… you are satan’s minion…
You know very darn well the hidden secrets of your satanic homosexual approved ELCA Lutheran fake church/mosque…
But yet… you won’t dare speak up and tell your congregants what you now know…
Therefore… you’re doing the work of satan… helping to maintain and keep your congregants deceived and duped…
Your fake ELCA Lutheran church is a mosque in the making… with every one of the congregants worshiping the fake god allah…
Not a wonder why you get all bent outta shape when anyone talks about satanic islam…
The pager attack was the most ingenious operation of any war. Selective of those needing deletion and give the terrorist terror anytime they’re around a battery.
OUTSTANDING WORK BY ISRAEL.
Send them Hamas’ unused pagers for safekeeping.
If the Republicans tolerated a single elected official who was a member of the KKK or Nazi Party, the Democrats would label the whole party as racist or Nazi. So why do they tolerate vocal anti-Semites in their party and we don’t rightly label the Democrat Party as anti-Semitic?
They tolerated Democrats who were KKK though
Are you speaking of The Democrat Communist Criminal Terrorist Organization of America ?
Let her rant.
Israel has had enough, I believe.
Their enemies now face an Israel that is done playing the game by their rules.
The old adage “be careful what you wish for…You just might get it” applies.
The other woman in that pic isn’t Omar, it’s the other bloodthirsty Muslim terrorist supporter Rashida Tlaib.
When you finally stand up to the relentless bully and give him a bloody nose, he’ll squeal like a pig and say you started the fight. Happens all the time..
Near-daily rocket attacks on Israel doesn’t bother them, but when if Israel fights back then it is a crime.
In the ongoing war against Shiite Salafist fundamentalist terror, which makes no distinctions between its willingness to be martyred, or turn others, especially women and children into martyrs, the objective is to win, not to fight fair. AOC is a “tin cup’ Puerto Rican Marxist ideologue who could star in a cameo role straight out of Che’s “Motorcycle Diaries,” who’s beginning to give bar tenders in the Brox a bad name.
The pager attack was nothing short of brilliant!
Oh my you’ve upset two (2) of the Three Communists in the U.S.Government. that were WHELPED from SWINE.
GOD BLESS ISRAEL, keep up the good work.
