Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) demanded that funding be restored to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after it was cut by the U.S. amid disturbing reports that its members aided Hamas terrorists.
Last week the Biden administration paused funding to the agency after a stunning report that a dozen of its members participated in the murderous October 7, 2023 raid on Israeli civilian areas during which over a thousand of the Jewish state’s citizens were brutally massacred.
While the U.S. is only one of several nations halting payment to the agency that oversees aid to the Palestinians, the mouth that never shuts and leader of the anti-Semitic Democrat “Squad” raged against the “unacceptable” move in a Monday post to X, formerly known as Twitter.
Cutting off support to @UNRWA – the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans – is unacceptable.
Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible.
The US should restore aid immediately.

“Cutting off support to @UNRWA – the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans – is unacceptable,” the socialist diva wrote. “Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible.”
“The US should restore aid immediately,” AOC demanded.
Outrage erupted after the New York Times reported on a dossier that was provided to the United States government that detailed the involvement of the agency’s employees in the barbaric attack on Israel with one accused of taking part in the bloody massacre on a kibbutz where 97 people were murdered.
Another UNRWA worker was accused of kidnapping a woman, and one was said to have passed out ammunition in the attack that drew the shock and revulsion of the entire civilized world.
The reaction was fast and furious as X users ripped the left-wing lawmaker to shreds with many accusing her of being sympathetic to the terrorists.
Any excuse to simp for terrorists. Like clockwork

You are a terrorist sympathizer.

The same people who want to defund the police because of the brutality of individuals are telling you the UN should continue getting funding for an organization that participated in the rape murder and kidnapping of innocent civilians. Make it make sense. https://t.co/XyORBtKQUS

Why are you always on the side of terrorists?
— Savannah (@BasedSavannah) January 29, 2024
Not a word about UNRWA staff involved in the massacre, rape, torture and abduction of Israelis?
Why do you hate Jews so much?
— Arsen Ostrovsky ️ (@Ostrov_A) January 29, 2024
It’s actually fine to not fund terrorists, IMO
— Mike Solana (@micsolana) January 29, 2024
Funding terrorists is unacceptable.
The @UNRWA has proven themselves to be terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, & terrorist supporters.
If they really cared about delivering humanitarian aid, they shouldn’t have become terrorists.

Tell us how many rapes, burnings, beheadings & murders are ok with you?
— AdinaZ ⚖️ (@lackboys3) January 29, 2024
To be clear we’re now at the point where even the UN’s chief apologists are acknowledging UN employees murdering Jews, but insisting it shouldn’t matter https://t.co/vOSbu5Pq2I

“It is morally depraved and glaringly inconsistent for President Biden to cut UNRWA funding on the basis of unconfirmed allegations made by the Israeli government while he simultaneously funds the Israeli government despite confirmed allegations of their systematic war crimes,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said in a Monday statement that included AOC’s post to X.
