how little of this sort of energy seems to be focused on those actually supporting the war in Gaza.

It sounds counterintuitive, but the very fact that a person is listening/receptive to an idea--even a bit--makes them an easier target for vitriol.

It's not like there aren't an abundance of reps completely ignoring the genocide in Palestine, who would make more sensible and productive targets for resistance.

In my mind, AOC was always very pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, but perhaps my views are dated. She has moderated a bit. This is not the first time she has been accused of not being anti-Israel enough:

On Wednesday night, the national leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America announced that it had withdrawn its conditional endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the best-known DSA member in the country.

In a statement announcing the decision to withdraw its endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez, DSA’s national leadership suggested that the congressional representative’s stance on issues related to Israel and Palestine had cost her the socialist organization’s endorsement.

“A national DSA endorsement comes with a serious commitment to the movement for Palestine and our collective socialist project. … To build a socialist movement that’s capable of defeating capitalism, we must demand more from leaders in our movement,” the statement reads.

The statement specifically criticized Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to vote for a House resolution that labeled “denial of Israel’s right to exist” as an example of antisemitism and her recent participation in a panel about antisemitism.
