    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

    This is collective punishment and a violation of international law.

    We cannot starve nearly a million children to death over the horrific
    actions of Hamas, whose disregard for Israeli, Palestinian, and human
    life overall could not be more clear.

    America didn't supply food to Germany and Japan during World War II.
    After their unconditional surrender, however, the US flooded both
    countries with humanitarian aid.

    Demand an unconditional surrender by Hamas,

    Historical factoid: Some of the food crates shipped to Germany after
    the war was prominently stenciled:

    GIFT OF THE USA

    "Gift" is the German word for "poison".

    Demand an unconditional surrender by Hamas,
