A Fuzzy Picture

The Democrats in Congress often have a hard time supporting our Middle East ally, Israel.  And,they have no solutions to bring peace for all.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Ocasio-Cortez nailed with online backlash after bizarre response to pager attack on Hezbollah

Here is the sub-headline:

The congresswoman demanded to know if the US had any hand in the attack.

From The Blaze, by BLAZE NEWS, 18 September 2024.

Here is the lede plus three:

Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York offered a bizarre response to the astounding pager attack on members of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

While many praised the ingenuity and precision of the attack on the terror group, Ocasio-Cortez issued a demand for assurance that the U.S. didn't provide any assistance to the operation.

"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 wrote in a post on social media.

"This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict," Ocasio-Cortez added. "Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any US assistance went into the development or deployment of this technology."

Were civilians injured or killed in this event?  I am sure there were.  But, how?  The carelessness of the Hezbollah targets, the "soldiers" of a terrorist organization?  Likely.  Say a Hezbollah terrorist giving his pager to a young neice to play with.  Being careless often has consequences.

I suspect Representative Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is just looking for reasons to whinge against Israel.  I wonder if she is one of those "river to the sea" types, who has no ideas what to do with eight million Israelis who would be displaced by her desired solution?
