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...

Well that is a scary thought. Hope you’re wrong about AOC.

It’s way past woodchipper time...

AOC is a mixture of Puerto Rican MARXIST, affirmative action Boston university style bartender and psychopath. Elected by a small percentage of her ignorant Puerto Rican electorate, aided by enough stupid black voters and whatever covert MARXIST aid that was allocated to her campaign, it succeeded in getting her into Congress.

Now her hidden anti-semitism has been exposed for all to see, along with that of her fellow “Squats”. She is a traitor to America and a Hamas propagandist.

Time for New York voters to flush this POS down the political toilet.

If only New Yorkers would vote her out.

Every time I think that AOC has hit the bottom of her stupidity. She releases a new post that disproves my opinion.

I agree, but doesn’t that apply to all the rats out there?

I like the "Jesus was born homeless" claim. I agree with that and point out that Joseph and Mary had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem so that they could be counted in Joseph's hometown for purposes of taxation. In other words, Jesus was born homeless because of government taxation!

Good point. Sandy AOC Cortez is the most clueless slob on Capitol Hill. If she wasn’t a token in Congress, she’d be waiting tables at a tequila and taco shack.

Yes she’s like the term of the con breeder mules for sale came from kind of like a pig in a poke.

Biden must be from the same line.

[txnativegop]

Yes it would seem so.
