Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appears to be up to her old tricks again.
AOC recently posted an article posted by Nick Kristof, from the New York Times who was spouted a Hamas talking point about a mass grave.
How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped?
Why do we not know more?
Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story? https://t.co/2LV1XsPmx3

However, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has already debunked the claim and stated that found the site used by Palestinians to bury the dead. The hope was they would find the remains of Israeli hostages that may have been killed after they were captured on October 7.
From the Times Of Israel:
It said forces searching for Israeli hostages had examined bodies previously buried by Palestinians near Nasser Hospital and had returned the bodies to where they were buried after they were examined.
It has been documented that Palestinians buried their dead at the hospital grounds both before and while Israeli troops operated in the area.
The location of that burial site was geo-located by experts to the same location where Hamas officials claimed to have discovered the new mass grave.
The hoax being pushed by AOC comes as protests supporting Palestine intensify at college campuses.
In Texas schools officials requested the help of law enforcement to clear out the protestors.
“@UTAustin will not allow this campus to be ‘taken’ and protesters to derail our mission in ways that groups affiliated with your national organization have accomplished elsewhere.” https://t.co/TTq2oVtZlL

Not long after Harvard suspended a pro-Palestine group on campus a group of students set up an encampment.
Incredible video from @HarvardPSC
Just yesterday, Harvard University placed the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) under suspension. Less than 24 hours later, students launched a Gaza solidarity encampment.
