On Sunday, far-Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — who appeared to be crying in September 2021 when the House of Representatives passed funding for the Iron Dome defense system that keeps Israel safe — got slammed on social media after she attacked the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), saying it pushed a “wildly unpopular agenda.”
In 2019, Ocasio-Cortez made a series of inflammatory statements against Israel, saying she absolutely” agreed with a host that Israel was “very, very criminal” and “very, very unjust, ” as the host claimed there were “white supremacist Jews.” She later tried to justify violence from the Palestinian people against Israel, saying: “I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people, because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized — once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot, right? ” In 2018, Ocasio-Cortez said she learned about Israel from the anti-Israel groups Jewish Voices for Peace and J Street as well as “Palestinian rights organizations.”
Last May, Ocasio-Cortez posted a statement on X supporting the Biden administration’s decision to put a hold on some military aid headed for Israel. “The United States has an obligation to uphold its own laws and to respect human rights globally. Amidst the Israeli gov’s siege on Gaza, blocking humanitarian aid, and threats on Rafah, withholding US military aid is a major development towards ceasefire, ” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

On Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X: “If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC.”

If your response to an election where your party lost ground with every minority group in the country – losing the popular vote and losing every swing State – and you blame it all on a pro Israel lobby group, you are unquestionably an Antisemite. https://t.co/CQrwQesUId

And if you are calling being pro-Israel a “wildly unpopular agenda,” you have learned nothing from this last election loss. The American people REJECTED the far left’s bs claims against Israel. https://t.co/2dy4w3GPPP
