New York – A video released on Twitter Wednesday shows Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (AOC) activist group, the Democratic Socialists of America, voting to adopt the Boycott, Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The 2017 video was found and shared by Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra and depicts an audience raising their hands following the carrying of a pro-BDS motion and chanting, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Ocasio-Cortez claimed in December that she descends from Sephardic Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition to Puerto Rico and defended this claim with the statement, “culture isn’t DNA.”
“Just because one concrete identity may not be how we think of ourselves today, nor how we were raised, it doesn’t mean we cannot or should not honor the ancestors and the stories that got us here,” AOC explained. Later that week, a video was released of AOC dancing the Horah during Hannukah celebrations.
She additionally spoke out against antisemitism in an interview with CNN during the National Women’s March, saying that “concerns of antisemitism with the current administration in the White House are absolutely valid and we need to make sure that we are protecting the Jewish community and all those that feel vulnerable in this moment.”
Despite her repeated talks on her Jewish identity and the defense of the Jewish people, AOC has repeatedly praised BDS. In a July 2018 interview, AOC spoke about Israel as “the occupation of Palestine.” She further announced that she is definitely in favor of a two-state solution.
In addition, she took to Twitter in May 2018, calling the Israeli treatment of Palestinians a “massacre.”
Why is this air head getting all this publicity? Its amazing that this anti semitic door knob won in a Jewish city???
Bottom line she is a crazy girl and why everybody pays so much attention to her escapes me.
The majority of ignorant , poorly educated diaper brigade on this website have all kind of nasty remarks about pRESIDENT Obama bu creatures like the one in this posting did not appear under President Obama
it would be utterly shocking if the yiddishe world would show a semblance of outrage over this powerful political figure’s actions. just like the cleveland doctor who wrote on social media that she would administer wrong medication to the jews, we just collectively sigh and shrug it off as being bashert.
we have enough political power to push this woman out of office and back to cleaning homes like the rest of her ilk, not just power to push a tuma’d ik lesbian out of a restaurant venue. where is our outrage???!!!
I actually like the way she exposes the weakness of AIPAC, where in a city like NY an open BDS supporter had a cake walk all while AIPAC was collecting money to spend on themselves.
she is the future of the democrat party Jew hating scum like tlaib and omar
Hashomer the nutcase probably a proud member of this group!
Cortez is the BEST thing that could happen to the democratic party. Lets keep her in the public sphere, shower her with attention. This will assure Trump another 4 years again. She and that other loony will no doubt have an impact on the swing vote. The higher up democrats are trying hard time containing them – A blessing in disguise!
Why does anyone pay attention to a brain dead sack of bones? She has hardly uttered a single coherent message since entering the spotlight, and she proceeds to add more stupidity every day. I assume her supporters share the same low range IQ, so they will return her to office again. My hopes are that she get labeled in Washington and in her district as the village idiot, which is actually a step up from her true intellect. No, I wouldn’t want her to be my waitress either.
I just called this dog’s office. The number of her DC office is 202-225-3965 x 2.
So now what will you do? Hide under your sheitl? Or attack me? How about calling her up to put some pressure on this overt Jew-hater… Every politician counts calls…
We are self destructive as a people. I personally hate the agudah and aipac. They speak for us and do nothing for us. They line their pockets and are no different then kapos. We need to help ourselves and develop an organization that is not affiliated with corrupt politics and uses the court system to remove these people from office.
If you voted for Trump you are a partner in AOC success, read #7
Socialists, the Democratic Socialists of America and all the other varieties of Socialists, even those whose families are Yidden, are truly anti-Semitic, and have a long history of hating Yidden.
In Russia after the Bolsheviks took over it was those who came from Yidden that created the special secret police that attacked Yiddishe communities. The same in Eastern Europe. Hizahar, in America this also is happening, even among the Democrats.
The only positive thing I have to say about her is that I think she is beautiful. Now before you alt-right shtetl hacks attack me for my comment take a breath and remember that I am a woman.
Thanks Donald for rise of antisemitism and election baratender to congress
