Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.

    Do you agree that the Biden administration directly enabled and armed a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza? Is genocide a secondary issue to you? Would a vote for a Zionist not be a vote directly in support of genocide?

    How about instead of being mad that I won’t vote for a war criminal, you just stop nominating war criminals?
