“For those of us who care about regional stability we have to manage the risk of escalation, but for those of us who have been critical of the conduct of the war in terms of [there being] too high of a tolerance for civilian casualties, we should be a little cautious to criticize an operation this precise,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), a progressive Democrat who has criticized Israel’s prosecution of its war against Hamas, told Jewish Insider on Thursday.
Ocasio-Cortez drew criticism from pro-Israel individuals for tweeting Wednesday afternoon: “Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians. This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”
“Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any US assistance went into the development or deployment of this technology,” she wrote.
