AOC attacks Israel again after belatedly condemning ‘unacceptable’ pro-Palestinian rallyBy Ryan King
Published Oct. 10, 2023
Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounced Sunday’s hate-filled pro-Palestine rally in Times Square — only to try and redirect outrage back onto Israel following this weekend’s butchery by Hamas terrorists.
The demonstration, promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America, featured protesters stomping and burning an Israeli flag and taunting counter-protesters supporting the Jewish state with a swastika image.
“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity. The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment,” the Bronx and Queens lawmaker said in a statement issued more than a day-and-a-half after the rally.
“It also,” she added in a flourish of whataboutism, “did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.”
