- Pro-Palestinian protesters accosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside a cinema in Brooklyn.
- They demanded that she call Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza a "genocide."
- One of the most prominent leftists in the Capitol, AOC has been critical of Israel for many years.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had just left the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn with her fiancé earlier this week when she was accosted by a group of Pro-Palestinian protesters.
Their accusation? She was not taking a hard enough line on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
"You refuse to call it a genocide. You're not actively against it. Say it's a genocide." the protesters shouted.
