    AOC is not a fierce opponent of israel. She recently invited a Zionist lobbyist on her live-stream to tell everyone that criticism of israel is anti-semitism.

    Jamaal Bowman however has accused israel of committing Genocide and was one of the first to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Things we cannot say about AOC nor Bernie Sanders.

    This Genocide has forced everyone to take off the mask and show what side they are truly on.

      I know it’s hard to provide a source for a negative, but do you have any showing she is friendly to Israel and the AIPAC?

      These suggest she is harshly critical of Israel, the AIPAC, and the invasion of Gaza: CNN, March 2024

      NY Times, September 2021 This article shows a history of being critical of supporting Israel

      Times of Israel, November 2023 This is a biased source, but it contains the tweets where AOC directly condemned the AIPAC

      NY Times, November 2023 MSNBC, June 2024

      The last article seems to be about the “Zionist lobbyist on her live-stream”, where AOC said:

      Criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic and criticism of zionism is not automatically antisemitic. That being true does not mean that we should not recognize criticism and when that criticism crosses a line into real harms against our Jewish community.

      Do you have the quote where she said “criticism is Israel is antisemitism”?

        Conveniently your timeline doesn’t start early in the Genocide as she was a great supporter of the Genocide of Palestinians until her voter base was completely to the left of her. Just like Bernie “controlled opposition” Sanders

        She platformed people saying it without pushing back. https://youtu.be/L2kIEVNrflY

          One of my links shows AOC has opposed the genocide of Palestinians since 2021. How far back do we need to go?

          It’s pretty apparent you have no evidence to support any of your claims and are trying to move your own goal posts.

          At this point you’re just spreading misinformation and poorly trying to push some kind of weird narrative.

          Have a good day.
