Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has been spreading falsehoods about a “mass grave” allegedly discovered in a hospital in Gaza where Israeli soldiers were recently fighting terrorists.
AOC cited a post on Twitter/X by Nick Kristoff, a radical left-wing newspaper columnist. new york timeswho has spread Although he has doubts about Hamas’ documentation of hospital use, he treats Hamas’ claims about Israeli atrocities as proven fact.
Why do news outlets give full coverage of campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves of people with their hands bound and their clothes stripped in Gaza?
Why don’t we know more?
Where are the journalists and resources focused on that story? https://t.co/2LV1XsPmx3

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been pointing out for several days that Hamas is trying to spread false information about the hospital.
In fact, IDF soldiers inspected graves used by Palestinians to bury their dead in the hopes of discovering the remains of possibly murdered Israeli hostages, and then IDF soldiers said that they had returned the bodies that had been exhumed.
era of israel report Earlier this week:
The statement said that forces searching for Israeli hostages inspected bodies previously buried by Palestinians near Nasser Hospital and returned the bodies to the burial site after inspection.
It is recorded that Palestinians buried their dead on hospital grounds before and during Israeli military operations in the area.
The location of the burial site was geographically identified by experts as the same location where Hamas officials claimed to have discovered a new mass grave.
The “mass grave” hoax is very similar to the classic “blood libel” that was spread against Jews in medieval Europe and the modern Middle East. It falsely accuses Jews of killing children to bake bread. Mazzottoan unleavened bread made with only water and four ingredients, eaten on Passover.
AOC also was praised Jewish students have been attacked and threatened in illegal campus protests at Columbia University and Yale University. In Colombia, demonstrators called for the killing of Israelis and openly praised Hamas.
