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.

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 Yorks 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.
