A bipartisan resolution declaring that Russia is committing genocide in its nearly 3-year-old war in Ukraine has left one supporter of the Palestinians in Gaza calling it “problematic.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told HuffPost that if the war in Ukraine is considered a genocide, then Israel’s brutal military campaigns in Gaza since Oct. 27, 2023, following the Hamas-led attack against Israel, certainly should be as well.
“If one were to make that case for Ukraine, they cannot not make that case for Palestine and for Palestinians,” she said.
The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), has the support of Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), the House GOP’s most prominent Ukraine supporter, as well as three other Republicans. Eight House Democrats aside from Cohen also signed on as co-sponsors.
