Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is used to getting the last word.
That wasn’t the case this time.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backed herself into a corner by making one awful mistake.
As Liberal Hack Watch reports:
Israel pulled one of the most impressive intelligence operations in history.
Israel set up a dummy beeper company which supplied Hezbollah leaders and soldiers with beepers loaded with explosives.
Hundreds of Hezbollah commanders and fighters were killed by the booby-trapped pagers.
The operation provided another opportunity for Democrats to show they are the pro-terrorist party.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) condemned Israel – and not the Hezbollah terrorist group – as war criminals.
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo fired back telling Ocasio-Cortez that Hezbollah is a terrorist group committed to destroying Israel and Israel was within its right to defend itself.
“Why don’t you mention the pagers were on members of a terrorist organization that is committed to destroying Israel? Would you have been defending al Qaeda when America was lighting them up in Iraq?” Cuomo stated.
Ocasio-Cortez is never one to back down from a social media fight.
The socialist congresswoman responded by claiming she was the real victim because someone vandalized her office and screen-capped the Department of Defense Law of War manual she claimed proved Israel committed war crimes.
Chris Cuomo ended the argument decisively in show going point by point to demonstrate Ocasio-Cortez was wrong.
Cuomo started by explaining that Israel isn’t the United States so our rules of engagement don’t apply.
“Okay. One, Israel is not one of the United States, so they don’t follow our laws or rules. Second, if the representative was suggesting by that comparison that the United States should therefore not support Israel, good luck with that,” Cuomo began.
Cuomo then told viewers that Ocasio-Cortez left out the next section of the Department of Defense Law of War manual.
“And then here’s what really bothers me about this salvo. She’s dead wrong. This is why you don’t accuse and then go in search of a crime. It says it is prohibited in all circumstances to use booby traps, and that’s what you would call putting little explosive devices in a pager,” Cuomo added.
Cuomo then read from the next section which explained that the use of such weapons was banned only for indiscriminate attacks.
“That part, this is this is the right context in the form of apparently harmless portable objects like a pager that are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material, but here’s the part that she left out. Oddly, the next section after the one she cited, the use of mines, booby traps, other devices is subject to the same rules and principles that govern the use of other weapons to conduct attacks,” Cuomo added.
“What does that mean? The rules include a prohibition against the indiscriminate use of mines, booby traps, and other devices. Indiscriminate,” Cuomo concluded.
This wasn’t an indiscriminate attack.
Israel intelligence specifically targeted the booby-trapped pagers to Hezbollah leaders and fighters to minimize civilian casualties.
The Democrat Party is so deep in the thrall of its pro-Palestine base that its elected officials will reflexively attack Israel no matter what.
