Note that @AOC posted this hours after Hamas fired rockets at the main humanitarian aid crossing into Gaza. And they fired the rockets from a designated humanitarian zone in Rafah. To be clear: ➡️ Hamas started this war ➡️ Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields ➡️ Hamas steals and stops aid from getting to Gazans ➡️ Hamas is still holding hostages ➡️ Hamas vows to attack Israel again AOC talks about respecting human rights while shielding a terrorist organization.
