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...

Herod was in fact, Rome’s appointed indigenous compliant psychopathic low-born Jewish “kapo”, a stooge, as “King of the Jews” and ordered the massacre to preempt being unseated by a newly-born and prophesied King of the Jews
Meanwhile, the King of Palestine…er, leader of Palestine…errr
Wait, there wasn’t any. The Romans occupied subjugated and ruled…a Jewish kingdom, which they called “ Palestine” to humiliate and humble the Jewish state and its royal and priestly ruling families
Nope!
guessing the donkey didn’t need more mentioning.
pretty sure Fakestinians never walked on water, healed the lame or died on a cross for your sins.
In fact, there are no achievements of any kind in the archeological records where these grifting hobos are concerned....
Well, she got boobs, not brains.
Joseph went to Roman occupied Bethlehem to pay his taxes and was oppressed by the government.
The barmaid appears to be unaware that Jesus was a Jew.
When John was beheaded, Jesus became the last legitimate High Priest alive. The only male descendant of Zadok. Caiphas was a fake and everyone knew it.
He is the Jewish messiah.
He is a direct descendent of David.
What an ignoramus.
Jesus was a Jew, born in Bethlehem and teaching throughout Judea and Israel.
Another day, another AOC cray-cray.
Somebody needs to tell Sandy the old squawd squaw that Jesus wasn’t a Palestinian. I’ve been reading crap all day that Jesus was an anchor baby born in Bethlehem so the Palestinians could give him to the world, Geez. It took a screwball taco and tequila waitress to teach me that Jesus of Nazareth was an anchor baby.
How many steps is it from terrorist sympathizer to terrorist?
I have friends who live in her district, they said it’s like being repped by a retarded 12 year old LOL
Mules are [almost always] sterile, so there’d need to be both a horse and a mule there…
There are times when she talks that referring to as a retarded 12-year old might be too generous a description.
The bar tender is a complete idiot
Mary and Joseph had to pay their taxes you raise every chance you get.
So says this pro-murderous (in the womb by MD' or outside by Hamas) yet by placing Christ in modern-day Palestine then is affirming that this is part of the Jews ancient homeland. Now support them against murderous Hamas.
