.@AOC on disagreeing with Chuck Schumer and other Democrats on Israel's response to the Israel-Hamas war: “It’s absolutely not a defense of Hamas in order to criticize this current approach, this indiscriminate, violent approach.”

Hamas removed infrastructure that was funded by U.S. to build weapons. That why there's no water and electricity in the Gaza Strip, AOC.

Chamath Palihapitiya highlights President Trump's remarkable Middle East peace agreement via the Abraham Accords, underscores the growing need for a U.S. border wall, and points out the corporate media's lies about Jared Kushner. @Chamath: "As a Democrat, who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly right, I'm left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger of the message, of the Trump administration, because what those guys did, was pretty incredible. In hindsight, these Abraham Accords, the accords with Israel and the GCC, the almost accord between Israel and Saudi, to really be able to find a long-lasting peace. He's just a real example for the world. And those guys did a lot of really great work." @Jason: "It's a miracle when you look at it. Listen, I'm no fan of Trump, but if you objectively look at what they did, it was great work." Chamath then asks if 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is causing more damage than President Trump, with the left and the media's bias against the messenger overshadowing the importance of the message? @Chamath: "I think the answer is yes... So much of the work that happened in that administration turned out to have been right... The work on the border wall, we didn't like the messenger. So, we killed the message. Turned out it was right. Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message. A structural peace deal in the Middle East. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message... When are we going to actually take the time to look past who was saying things and actually listen to them word for word? ...If you listen to this @lexfridman podcast, the most important thing that is resoundingly obvious about @jaredkushner is that he is incredibly thoughtful and incredibly competent. And why did we have to spend years being fed all of these stupid lies? Because one can judge for oneself. But Jared Kushner is thoughtful. He's smart. And I thought to myself, I was fed all these lies for years about how this guy was moping around in the shadows and this and that, and it was all not true." Raise your hand if you prefer “Mean Tweets” to war breaking out around the world.

"Leave Hamas in place?" is both stupid and opportunistic question. Just to get a viral video. She is very courageous enough to come out against her party and huge Israel lobby. Your job is to make it more difficult for her?

I like AOC but she is clueless on this. I will take the decades long experience of Biden, Schumer, &hell even some Repubs.Hamas is a terrorist organization. They Must be dealt with after their brutal evil attack. Hamas is who puts their people in danger.Hamas does not want peace

"indiscriminate" False "violent approach.” LOL.
I used to respect AOC but now I wouldn't vote for her. If I have to I'll vote for a Republican. I don't vote for HAMAS supporters

Hard to understand how such a proud supporter of Palestinian rights has no problem with a terrorist organization using Palestinian children as human shields and diverting monies meant for citizen aid to instead be used for building underground tunnels and weaponry. Shameful!

Remember when you told Margaret Hoover you don’t know Middle East politics? YOU DONT! A ceasefire at the last round in 2014 led to the 10/7 massacre and then this reasonable response so it won’t happen again.
