Rep. Ocasio-Cortez called out Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday for banning Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from visiting Israel in 2019.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday for his 2019 decision to ban Reps. Rashida Talib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from visiting Israel. Ocasio Cortez joined MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Sunday and was asked about what the left-wing host called 'congressional indifference to Palestinian life.' 'Almost all of the at least 18 House Democrats who called for a cease-fire in Gaza, are people of color.
We’ve been trying to raise the alarm bells around this for years. There has been virtually no acknowledgment in the United States House of Representatives about the extreme plight and continued human rights violations of the Palestinian people for years. I find it alarming. I found it shocking,' she said.
