New Democrat star hates Israel

The socialist congressional candidate whose primary-election upset of a Democratic House leader made national news this week claimed Israel committed a “massacre” of Palestinians in Gaza, despite the admission of Hamas that most of the dead were Hamas operatives.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, wrote in a May 14 tweet that the killing of some 60 Palestinians in “March of Return” protests that day was a “massacre” and that “no state or entity is absolved of mass shootings of protesters,” reported the Jewish News Syndicate.

“There is no justification. Palestinian people deserve basic human dignity, as anyone else,” she said. “Democrats can’t be silent about this anymore.”

Hamas leaders, however, later admitted that at least 50 of those killed were members of the terror group.

Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America party, defeated Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., for the Democratic nomination in New York’s 14th congressional district Tuesday despite being outspent 10 to 1.

The Democratic Socialists of America supports the BDS movement, the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.
