Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed agreement with a claim that the October 7th massacre carried out by Hamas was a 'direct consequence' of the Abraham Accords during a Twitch stream on Friday. This statement has sparked significant backlash. Critics argue that Hamas is solely responsible for the attack and that the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, are beneficial. Some critics suggest that Ocasio-Cortez's comments undermine the sovereignty of the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco. Others accuse her of being ignorant of Hamas's statements or attempting to legitimize terror.
According to @AOC, Abraham Accords caused October 7 massacre 🤯 You can't make this up... _ https://t.co/brQ3mWihqr
How the hell were the Abraham Accords to blame for October 7, @hasanthehun???? @AOC???? Arab countries making peace with Israel caused Hamas to attack Israel??? How does that make any sense??? Even Hamas and Iran don't claim that!!!!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/rQhsSANvQm
Hamas has vowed to carry out October 7th "again and again" and create a permanent state of war. Either AOC is ignorant of these statements, or she is lying to legitimize terror. Hamas, not the Abraham Accords, are the ones "side-stepping" and sacrificing their own people. https://t.co/NC3xkSMd3Q
No. Hamas caused October 7th. Hamas, and only Hamas, caused October 7th. And btw @AOC, the Abraham Accords are a good thing, right? https://t.co/oiyJpnNvIb
AOC believes that Hamas should dictate the foreign policies of Gulf states. She doesn’t believe in the sovereignty of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco, and thinks the Abraham Accords caused October 7. How many times were Palestinians offered a state, AOC? https://t.co/QlIH7mM2eo
