<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed on Sunday that Israel was intentionally committing a &#8220;genocide&#8221; inside Gaza and that the Hamas terrorist organization could not end the war by releasing the hostages and surrendering to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).</p>
<p>AOC&#8217;s comments on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; on Sunday come despite efforts by Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, which is inspected to ensure that weapons are not being smuggled in to Hamas.</p>
<p>&#8220;This word is extremely serious. It&#8217;s one that&#8217;s taken with extraordinary gravity. And, to me, the threshold of intent is a high one, it is a serious one and is not one that is made lightly,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>She later suggested that Israel was not targeting Hamas: &#8220;But what we are seeing here, I think, with a forced famine, is beyond our ability to deny or explain away. There is no targeting of Hamas in precipitating a mass famine of a million people, half of whom are children.&#8221;</p>
<p>When pressed by CNN host Jake Tapper about statements from Israeli officials that Hamas could end the tomorrow instantly by releasing the hostages and surrendering, AOC responded: &#8220;I do disagree, because, when we are talking about famine, the actions of Hamas should not be tied to whether a 3-year- old can eat.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The actions of Hamas do not justify forcing thousands, hundreds of thousands of people to eat grass as their bodies consume themselves,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;We and the Israeli government has a right to go after Hamas, but we are talking about a population of millions of innocent Palestinians. We are talking about collective punishment, which is injustifiable (sic).&#8221;</p>
