Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comments on a bipartisan resolution declaring Russia's actions in Ukraine as genocide, questioning the inconsistency in labeling.
She argues that if Ukraine's conflict qualifies for genocide, Israel's actions in Gaza should be similarly classified.
The resolution highlights "extensive, systematic, and flagrant atrocities" by Russia, supported by key lawmakers, including Rep. Steve Cohen.
Human Rights Watch reports serious violations in Gaza, prompting discussions on analogies between the two conflicts.
Ocasio-Cortez remains undecided on Ukraine but emphasizes the need for thorough investigation before drawing conclusions on such grave accusations.
