Glenn Greenwald Claims AOC and Left-Wing Democrats Do Not Actually Believe Gaza Is Genocide

AOC ENDORSES “AIPAC SHAKUR”: What About Genocide?
"I do not believe that AOC despite using the word genocide under a lot of pressure actually believes it's genocide. I don't believe that huge numbers of these left liberal pundits, these these these people who feign opposition to the Democratic party but every two years demand that everybody go vote for the Democrats on the lesser of two evils they all say it's a genocide. I don't believe they believe it either."
Glenn Greenwald argues that AOC's willingness to vote for Hakeem Jeffries as House Speaker despite calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide reveals she does not genuinely believe it is genocide. He contends that many left-wing Democrats use the term for career preservation while still supporting politicians who armed and funded Israeli military actions. Greenwald states that genocide should represent an unforgivable line that disqualifies politicians from support, and those who claim to believe it is genocide but still vote for its perpetrators are being dishonest.
