Outrage over far-left AOC's Christmas post that likens Jesus to Palestinians and Israel as occupying force as she wishes for 'peace on earth'

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed for her Christmas post that called Israel a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to the Palestinians.

Posting on Instagram on Christmas Eve, AOC shared a photo of a child lying on a pile of rubble surrounded by wooden nativity scene icons.

Accompanying the photo, the New Yorker wrote: 'In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.'

She went on to compare Jesus being hunted by King Herod to the 'right-wing forces' currently 'violently occupying Bethlehem.'

Her post sparked a fierce backlash online with some accusing her of 'Jew hate.'

One Twitter user said: '@AOC ⁩shows how much she hates Jews with deplorable Christmas message failing to mention hostages held.'

Senior political reporter at The Forward, Jacob N Kornbluh, said: 'AOC describes Israel as a ‘violent right wing occupying force’ in Christmas post. No mention of Hamas terror, the victims of Oct. 7 attack.'

In her full post, AOC said: 'He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power.

'Mary and Joseph, displaced by violence and forced to flee, became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.

'Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has canceled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both [fear for their] safety and respect.

'And yet, also today, holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence — for every child born, of any identity and from any place, is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza.

'The entire story of Christmas and Christ himself is about standing...

They are not a person until AOC says they are a person. She is for killing Jewish children and babies.

No; this stuff is never about thinking on one’s own or of one’s own volition.

The “help” Marx explicitly offered was the erasure of their Jewish identity and religion to “emancipate” them,

Yes, that's pretty much what I said.

I would not be surprised to learn that she is descended from the Crytpo-Jews who escaped the Spanish Inquisition to settle the new world.

while lying that their religion and identity centered around money—the most base and vile antisemitic trope of all time.

If you want to see something really cringe, check out this Jewish children's TV series: Fiveish Get's Ready For Shabbos.

You’re truncating my sentences and removing the context. I immediately noted that what he was defining as Judaism and Jewish identity was the trope of alleged Jewish worship of money. Not actual Judaism.

The commies throughout history have destroyed the religions of all people in the name of “liberation”, forcing atheism upon them and persecuting those who refuse to comply. The number-one religion targeted in the Communist Manifesto is of course Christianity.

AOC already made that claim in 2018.

Ocasio-Cortez reveals her Jewish heritage: 'I knew it! I sensed it!'.

Obviously when discussing what Marx believed about Judaism, the context is what Marx believed about Judaism.

Marx was no originator of thought; either way, he has no excuse to recycle a then very old trope of Jews and money. The quote is from his review of The Jewish Question by Bruno Bauer.

That’s because they’re the same, practically.
