Well, her last name is Cortés, what did we expect, for her to not be pro-genocide?

Skimmed through the article, despite its title, the issue is not about AOC alone, the fact that
“Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were the only Democrats to vote no on the resolution”
has more weight, imho.

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, I agree that the fact the 3 Squad members stayed firm is very important. (I have supported Rashida here in Michigan since 2018.)
But up until recently AOC was good on the basics of the right to oppose Israel and on Israel's war on Gaza, even though she was late to call it genocide. (But when she finally did, she gave a very powerful speech in Congress on it.)
But since she is so significant in US politics now, it was a real blow to Palestine solidarity for her to retreat on this. This in addition to the flattering and false speech about Harris at the DNC in Chicago, and her Instagram event on anti-Semitism, in which only pro-Israel viewpoints were expressed.
