Left-wing US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday blasted New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang for his tweet expressing support for Israel.
On Tuesday, Yang tweeted, “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists.”
The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere,” he pledged.
Responding to news that a planned Yang campaign event had been cancelled, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Utterly shameful for Yang to try to show up to an Eid event after sending out a chest-thumping statement of support for a strike killing 9 children, especially after his silence as Al-Aqsa was attacked.”
Yang had not supported any strike, nor did Ocasio-Cortez specify the incident she referenced or provide evidence of Israeli responsibility. Her claim of an attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque is false.
The congresswoman then said, “But then to try that in Astoria? During Ramadan?! They will let you know.”
On Wednesday, Yang replied to criticism of his support for Israel, saying that he agreed with campaign volunteers who told him that his initial tweet was “overly simplistic” and “failed to acknowledge the pain and suffering on both sides.”
“Support of a people does not make one blind to the pain and suffering of others. Again, most everyone simply wants to be able to live and pray in peace,” he wrote. “And that is what we want as well. I join with millions around the world in praying that the current situation be resolved as quickly as possible, peacefully and with minimal suffering.
“For those who have spoken to me on this – thank you. Continue to believe in humanity,” Yang concluded.
I’d bet $50 this twit couldn’t have found Israel on a map 2 weeks ago.
Why are there so many Jewish citizens in the United States who continue to support the modern incarnation of the Democrat Party.

Do the reasons for the holocaust defy all reason?
She couldn’t find anything, she is a complete and total embarrassment to the people in her district which I grew up in. The people I still know who live there say they cannot stand her, say it’s like having a 10 year old as a rep who does nothing but starve for attention. They say she won by voter fraud organizing illegals to vote for her thus her “surprise” win which is 100% believable being that it’s New York where election laws do not exist.
Its funny how that idiot AOC thinks..she makes the biggest hissy fit EVER over supposedly being yelled at by Marjorie Taylor Green..for that she demanded protection from her..but this is the same AOC that is fine and dandy with THOUSANDS of rockets being thrown on houses, killing men, women, and children..a 6 yr old boy was murdered two days ago in Sderot..does AOC give a damn..of course not..she is just following what the rest of her Jihad Squad tells her to say..the other two have been told from birth to hate Jews..with AOC, she is a moron..an absolute moron
AOC is a vicious racist communist.
Take it from this jew.... they aren’t religious Jews and only have jewish names. They’re atheists by and large. Their ‘religion’ is what we now call ‘social justice’ aka Marxism., etc. Religious Jews are super conservative and vote very red. The data supports that. Reform Judaism isn’t real Judaism. If you can have a fat bull dyke as your rabbi, it ain’t Judaism.
I’ve quit asking Jewish friends that question. They give a lame nonsense answer/cop out....”You have to understand the Jewish history”. Just BS to avoid justifying a vote for a Democrat.
I live in an over 55 community in Broward county Florida. Maybe 6000 are Jewish. I only two as you describe. And they are hated by other Jews. Sad but true.

you’re thinking of tlaib and omar. AOC is puerto rican.
all three of them are a waste of oxygen
“you’re thinking of tlaib and omar. AOC is puerto rican.”
I can hear don Rickles saying “and that’s better?”
AOC is a vicious racist communist.
The Squad is hysterical because Hamas is being shredded by the IDF and the rocket barrage from Gaza has failed. The Israelis are in charge.
Th 10% of Jews who are Orthodox are strongly Republican, but the other 90% are strongly Democrat.
I have heard predictions for 20 years that Jews were going to abandon the Democratic party. Anybody who STILL is waiting for that to happen can only be described as insane.
