AOC accuses Israel of genocide in Germany where Holocaust was launched, sparking outrage
AOC slammed over Israel ‘genocide’ comments

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., alleged at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that U.S. aid to the Jewish state enabled a genocide by Israel. AOC’s attack on the Jewish state in Munich unfolded in the birthplace of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi movement that carried out the worst genocide in human history.
AOC’s assault on Israel’s war campaign to defeat the U.S. and EU-designated terrorist movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip sparked outrage and intense criticism from academic military and Middle East experts.
During the town hall event in Munich, the Squad member said, «To me, this isn’t just about a presidential election. Personally, I think that the United States has an obligation to uphold its own laws, particularly the Leahy laws. And I think that personally, that the idea of completely unconditional aid, no matter what one does, does not make sense. I think it enabled a genocide in Gaza. And I think that we have thousands of women and children dead that don’t, that was completely avoidable.»

She continued, «And, so I believe that enforcement of our own laws through the Leahy laws, which requires conditioning aid in any circumstance, when you see gross human rights violations, is appropriate.»
The Leahy Laws prohibit the Department of Defense and the State Department from funding «foreign security force units when there is credible information that the unit has committed a ‘gross violation of human rights.» Former Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT., introduced the bill in 1997.
Tom Gross, an expert on international affairs, told Fox News digital that «AOC has flown all the way to Munich — infamous as the city in which Hitler staged his Nazi Beer Hall Putsch that marked the beginning of the road to the Holocaust — in order to smear the Jewish people further with a phony genocide allegation.»
Gross added, «Such preposterous allegations of ‘genocide’ form the bedrock of modern antisemitic incitement against Jews in the U.S. and globally. This shocking ignorance and insensitivity by Ocasio-Cortez should rule her out of any potential presidential bid or other high office.»

RASHIDA TLAIB HIT WITH HOUSE CENSURE THREAT, ACCUSED OF ‘CELEBRATING TERRORISM’ IN PRO-PALESTINIAN SPEECH
Military experts and genocide researchers have debunked the allegation that Israel carried out a genocide against Palestinians during its self-defense war against the Hamas terrorist organization that started after Hamas terrorists attacked communities in parts of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 that saw over 1200 Israeli and foreign nationals killed and 251 brutally kidnapped and taken into Gaza by Hamas and other terrorists.

Danny Orbach, a military historian from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and co-author of «Debunking the Genocide Allegations: A Reexamination of the Israel-Hamas War from October 7 2023, to June 1, 2025,» told Fox News Digital that Ocasio-Cortez accusation that Israel committed genocide is an «accusation that is incorrect both factually and legally. Under the Genocide Convention, genocide requires proof of a special intent to destroy a protected group, in whole or in part, and as a baseline condition, an active effort to maximize civilian destruction.
«The evidence shows the opposite: as demonstrated in our multi-author study Debunking the Genocide Allegations, Israel undertook unprecedented measures to mitigate civilian harm, including establishing humanitarian safe zones that independently verified data show were approximately six times safer than other areas of Gaza.»

Orbach added, «Israel also issued detailed advance warnings before strikes and facilitated the entry of over two million tons of humanitarian aid, often at significant cost to its own military advantage, including the loss of surprise and the sustainment of an enemy during wartime.»
He concluded, «These measures were taken despite Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre, its systematic use of human shields and hospitals for military purposes, and a tunnel network exceeding 1,000 kilometers — an operational challenge without historical precedent. Finally, no credible evidence demonstrates the kind of unambiguous, exclusive genocidal intent toward Palestinians that international law requires and that cannot be reasonably interpreted otherwise.»

Un estudio revela cuánto dinero tiene ahorrado el trabajador estadounidense promedio para su jubilación
El ahorro para la jubilación en Estados Unidos muestra cifras bajas entre la mayoría de los trabajadores, según el más reciente informe del National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) publicado en 2026. El análisis, que abarca a la población de 21 a 64 años, indica que la mediana de los fondos acumulados en planes de contribución definida como el 401(k) es de apenas 955 dólares, lo que representa una diferencia significativa frente a los objetivos recomendados por entidades especializadas. Esta situación afecta a millones de personas en todo el país y coloca en debate la suficiencia de las estrategias actuales para el retiro.
El estudio del NIRS se basa en datos oficiales y utiliza información de cuentas individuales de jubilación, incluyendo a quienes no han logrado ahorrar. De acuerdo con el informe, los ahorros actuales no solo resultan insuficientes respecto a las metas sugeridas por expertos, sino que también muestran una brecha transversal en variables como género, raza y nivel educativo, según los parámetros definidos por Fidelity Investments, organización que establece guías ampliamente consultadas en el sector.
El contexto de los sistemas de pensiones en Estados Unidos ha cambiado en las últimas décadas. La transición de planes de beneficio definido a esquemas de contribución definida ha transferido la responsabilidad de la planificación financiera hacia los trabajadores, lo que, sumado a la volatilidad del mercado laboral y a la falta de acceso universal a planes de ahorro, genera un escenario donde la mayoría no logra alcanzar los niveles sugeridos, según el NIRS.
La investigación del National Institute on Retirement Security revela que la mediana de los ahorros en planes de contribución definida, como el 401(k), es de 955 dólares para el universo total de trabajadores entre 21 y 64 años. Esta cifra incluye a quienes no poseen saldo alguno en estos instrumentos. Para quienes sí tienen algún monto ahorrado, la mediana asciende a 40.000 dólares.
El saldo promedio de cuentas individuales entre todos los trabajadores se ubica en 93.229 dólares, aunque este valor aumenta a 179.082 dólares cuando se considera solo a quienes han acumulado al menos un dólar en su cuenta, según el NIRS. El informe detalla que la mayoría de los estadounidenses está lejos de los niveles considerados adecuados para financiar la etapa de retiro.
Fidelity Investments sugiere que los trabajadores deberían contar con el equivalente a su salario anual ahorrado a los 30 años, tres veces el salario a los 40, seis veces a los 50, ocho veces a los 60 y diez veces a los 67. Estas recomendaciones sirven de referencia en la industria financiera y son citadas en el estudio del NIRS.
El informe señala que ningún grupo demográfico alcanza las metas propuestas por Fidelity. La brecha se extiende a todas las categorías analizadas, incluyendo edad, raza, educación y género, lo que refleja un fenómeno generalizado. El NIRS indica que “la mayoría de los trabajadores estadounidenses no cumple con los niveles de ahorro recomendados para su edad”, lo que pone en evidencia la magnitud del desafío.
El análisis del NIRS identifica variaciones significativas en los niveles de ahorro según características demográficas. Los hombres alcanzan el 19% de la meta recomendada, mientras las mujeres llegan al 17%. Por grupos étnicos, los trabajadores asiáticos logran el 23% del objetivo, los blancos el 20% y tanto los afroamericanos como los hispanos apenas el 11%.
El nivel educativo también influye en la capacidad de ahorro. El estudio indica que quienes tienen secundaria completa logran un 10% de la meta, mientras que quienes poseen un título de asociado llegan al 15%. Los graduados universitarios alcanzan el 21% y los trabajadores con posgrado suman el 26%, según los datos oficiales citados por el NIRS.
De acuerdo con el informe, el ahorro mediano en planes de contribución definida representa solo el 4% del objetivo recomendado por las autoridades financieras. Si se toma en cuenta el patrimonio neto, ese porcentaje aumenta al 41%.
Entre quienes poseen saldo positivo en cuentas de jubilación, el porcentaje del objetivo cumplido sube al 18%. El informe advierte que “las cifras actuales muestran que, incluso entre quienes tienen algún ahorro, los montos acumulados no alcanzan para cubrir el nivel de vida esperado tras la jubilación”, de acuerdo con el NIRS.
El estudio del NIRS destaca que los trabajadores más jóvenes, de 21 a 34 años, son quienes más cerca están de sus metas, al haber acumulado el 21% de lo recomendado. El grupo de 55 a 64 años alcanza el 19%. A pesar de estas diferencias, ningún segmento etario logra cubrir el monto aconsejado para garantizar un retiro sin sobresaltos económicos.
La investigación señala que la falta de acceso universal a planes de jubilación en el trabajo, la presión sobre los salarios y los cambios en la estructura del empleo dificultan la acumulación de fondos suficientes. El informe indica que la transición hacia empleos temporales o independientes y la reducción de planes de pensiones tradicionales han incrementado la responsabilidad individual en la planificación del retiro.
El NIRS advierte que “la baja participación en planes de ahorro y la falta de incentivos adecuados agravan la situación”, lo que se traduce en una menor cobertura y en montos insuficientes para enfrentar la vida tras el retiro.
El informe del National Institute on Retirement Security subraya que la insuficiencia de ahorros afecta a millones de trabajadores y que la brecha persistente podría derivar en una mayor dependencia de la Seguridad Social como principal fuente de ingresos durante la jubilación. El documento explica que “la situación actual implica riesgos para la estabilidad económica de los hogares y para la sostenibilidad del sistema de pensiones”.
El NIRS recomienda ampliar el acceso a planes de ahorro, mejorar la educación financiera y fortalecer las políticas públicas que incentiven la participación en esquemas de contribución definida. El informe enfatiza que “la supervisión y el seguimiento de estos indicadores serán fundamentales para monitorear el impacto de las políticas implementadas en los próximos años”.
La distancia entre los ahorros reales y las metas sugeridas podría incrementarse conforme la población envejece y la esperanza de vida aumenta, lo que plantea desafíos para el sistema de seguridad social y para la planificación individual. El NIRS indica que la revisión periódica de las políticas y la adaptación de los instrumentos de ahorro resultan esenciales para mejorar el escenario de cara al futuro.
La problemática del ahorro insuficiente para el retiro seguirá siendo un tema central en la agenda pública y en el debate sobre el bienestar financiero de la población trabajadora en Estados Unidos, según el National Institute on Retirement Security.

The federal government has entered its third partial shutdown of the last half-year after Congress failed to reach an agreement on all 12 of its annual spending bills.
Unlike past shutdowns, however, this one just affects the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It comes after Democrats walked away from a bipartisan deal to fund the department amid uproar over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
And while some 97% of the federal government has been funded at this point, a DHS shutdown will still have effects on everyday Americans — effects that will become more apparent the longer the standoff continues.

Air travel delays
Disruptions to the TSA, whose agents are responsible for security checks at nearly 440 airports across the country, could perhaps be the most impactful part of the partial shutdown to Americans’ everyday lives.
Acting Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill told lawmakers at a hearing on Wednesday that around 95% of TSA employees — roughly 61,000 people — are deemed essential and will be forced to work without pay in the event of a shutdown.
«We heard reports of officers sleeping in their cars at airports to save money on gas, selling their blood and plasma, and taking on second jobs to make ends meet,» she said of the last shutdown.
But it would take some time before TSA funding could translate to delays. TSA agents, like other essential federal workers, received back pay once the shutdown was over. Those who did not miss shifts also got a $10,000 bonus for added relief.

TSA paychecks due to be issued on March 3 could see agents getting reduced pay depending on the length of the shutdown. Agents would not be at risk of missing a full paycheck until March 17.
If that happens, however, Americans could see delays or even cancellations at the country’s busiest airports as TSA agents are forced to call out of work and get second jobs to make ends meet.

Natural disaster reimbursement
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is one of the largest and most critical recipients of federal funding under DHS.
Associate Administrator of the Office of Response and Recovery Gregg Phillips told lawmakers on Wednesday that FEMA has enough funds to continue disaster response through a shutdown in the immediate future, but that its budget would be strained in the event of an unforeseen «catastrophic disaster.»
That means Americans hit by an unexpected natural disaster during the shutdown could see delayed federal reimbursement for their homes and small businesses.
Others who have already lived through a natural disaster in the last year but still have not received their checks — FEMA is currently working through a backlog worth billions of dollars — could see that relief delayed even further during the shutdown.
«In the 45 days I’ve been here … we have spent $3 billion in 45 days on 5,000 projects,» Phillips said. «We’re going as fast as we can. We’re committed to reducing the backlog. I can’t go any faster than we actually are. And if this lapses, that’s going to stop.»

Worker visa processing
American business owners who rely on certain types of worker visas could see processing times extended during a DHS shutdown.
That’s because United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) programs are run under DHS and are responsible for processing most immigration applications as well as temporary visas.

The majority of those programs are funded by fees and are largely untouched. However, areas like e-Verify, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program, Conrad 30 J-1 doctors, and non-minister religious workers all rely on funding appropriated by Congress, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
USCIS could allow employers to use alternate processes if e-Verify is disrupted during a shutdown, but it’s not clear how much time it would add to business owners’ day-to-day responsibilities to learn a new route for that paperwork.
