AOC is essentially honest, declaring herself ignorant when applicable. She could prove to be an ally yet. She certainly is prone to listen when arguments are plausible.
I just wonder why the simple basics of how islam functions haven't landed with her yet. She should be smart enough to recognize the pattern that hasn't changed in 1400yrs. Islam always came to replace, no exception.
IS-PAL does not exist, it is just the same. Islam, again, is trying to replace. That is what exists, and what Israel uniquely understands how to deal with, but isn't allowed to, by stupid western 'appeasers'.
They may not be the same but I think this says more about the direction progressives are going to rather than AOC's support of the Jewish community long term
Nuance is good but does she distance from the antisemites on her side or just those from the other side? You mention people like Abdulhawa have completed the union with the antisemitic right. These things make me think you view antisemitism as the purview of the right, something extraneous that leftists sometimes join with, but that’s not correct. Leftists, like Abdulhawa, are commonly antisemites, and their antisemitism is integrated with their leftism, they’re not leftists who sadly got too chummy with the right.
Oh please! Saying that Occasional-Cortex isn’t as bad as Ilhan Omar because she isn’t nearly as antisemitic is like saying Goering was nicer than Himmler because he wasn’t in the SS. Both of them are illustrative of everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party.
So excited that she didn’t call for our genocide? Maybe Israel should to apologize - to AOC - for defending itself? Why do the Jews have to nurture our opponents?
And what “horizon”? Don’t tell me: a two state FINAL solution creating an independent “Palestinian” state! What an original idea. But they already had a state - in Gaza - and things didn’t turn out great, did they.
She’s not our ally or friend and she never will be.
The Democratic Left has made antisemitism the litmus test and even attending a synagogue is viewed with horror.
Fortunately, while the DSA antisemites continue to rise in the Democratic Party, antisemites are getting excluded in the Republican Party, as MJT, Tucker Carlson can attest.
Didn't AOC also vote to fund the iron dome a few years back?
I'm not a fan. But we need to purge anti-semitism in the Democratic party or this non-Jewish liberal independent will sit out from voting for any candidate that flirts with anti-semitism.
So pigs CAN fly.
Who knew?
While I detest much of what she says, she deserves props for that.

If AOC becomes a Zionist, any kind of Zionist, she will not progress politically.

Any politician who equivocates on the question of the ongoing
genocide in Gaza and the Israeli butchery in Lebanon ought to be
shunned by the electorate. It’s a question of basic morality that
should transcend politics.
It's option pieces like this that convinces people the Israel lobby control Washington!
It's comments like yours that convince people you are stupid.
What a dumb reply, but the point stands dumb propaganda will always backfire!

Sorry Eli. Based on this piece, you have zero credibility.
Yes, she is different. But is she different enough?
Were the elections of Mamdani-endorsed candidates legitimate? Was Mamdani’s election stolen?

Eli, this is painfully naive. Even a month ago, it was cringe.
None so blind as he who will not see....
