43. Drop Site News had some reporting that the Biden Administration never pressured Israel for a ceasefire

I think some (not me) are upset that AOC claimed at the convention that Harris & others were working behind the scenes tirelessly for a ceasefire but I can understand why she did. She didn't have much leverage at the time so she really had no choice but to back the party in 2024 or otherwise she wouldn't have much of a career left in politics.

There isn't a lot of fair criticism of AOC from the left but the closest they come is when it comes to the Israel-Palestine issue but like others said if it was up to her she would have stopped Israel a long time ago.
