Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under fire for propagating false claims about a “mass grave” in Gaza, which she highlighted in a discussion on social media. She referenced a post by leftist Nick Kristof, questioning the lack of media coverage on the supposed discovery at a Gaza hospital.
“How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?”
The IDF has refuted these claims, stating that what was initially claimed to be a “mass grave” was actually a site where Palestinians had been burying the dead, which IDF personnel inspected in search of possible Israeli hostages. After the examination, the bodies were reinterred at their original site.
The Times of Israel confirmed that bodies had been interred at this location both before and during Israeli military activities in the area. IDF has labeled the “mass grave” claims as misinformation, drawing parallels to historical antisemitic allegations known as “blood libel.”
Additionally, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has voiced support for recent campus protests, which have included anti-Israel sentiments and, at times, aggression towards Jewish students, raising further controversies.

She’s Democrat so she’s allowed to! Nothing has to be fact nor must it be verifiedor even verifiable: it just has to be said and it is reported as fact!
Extremely LOW IQ LATINA.
The media and only the media made AOC a star. This is NOT the only false information that she spreads around. It is high time that Queens/Bronx voters push this dimwit out of office. The trouble is there are Jewish voters, many of them frum, in AOC’s district that don’t bother to vote (especially in primaries). This latest falsehood should be the impetus to get people out of their slumber.
REMEMBER: AOC won because only a fraction of the registered voters bothered to vote
