Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes the US should consider cutting military and economic aid to Israel — and Jewish Democrats are blasting her for it.
“I think it’s something that can be discussed,” she said Sunday on Yahoo’s “Skullduggery” podcast, adding that the idea should “certainly” be on the table.
“I think these are part of conversations we are having in our caucus,” the congresswoman added. “I hope to play a facilitating role in this conversation and a supportive role in this conversation. But I also know that there have been people leading on this for a long time, like Congresswoman [Betty] McCollum.”
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went on to describe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “Trump-like figure” following his announced plans to formally annex Jewish settlements on the West Bank.
“I think what we are really seeing is an ascent of authoritarianism across the world,” she said.
The Jewish Democratic Council of America released a statement on Monday, ripping Ocasio-Cortez for her comments.

Like clockwork.
Get a hobby.
Hey, what did we do on staten Island?
She from the Bronx.
We TRIED to secede.
time to try again.
As for this cutting aid to Israel nonsense, I’m not a Zionist.
I’m an Italyist :)
But Israel is a TREMENDOUS ALLY and important partner in the area and i’m SURE any missile defense knowledge they gain comes to us.
So STFU AOC
I hope I’m not the only Christian left that believes the only reason we have not been Sodomized is because of the support we have given to Israel since her restoration. When we finally abandon her, I pray I can get my family somewhere else quickly.
Only reason for Israel support is because for suuport for Israel’s enemies (Egypt,Jordan, Saudi, Syria) is much greater. Tough for FR’s Jew-haters to accept.
Someone is on the wrong side of history. How many Americans think the wrong side if history is the Land of Israel?
So her caucus would take as many chairs as a basketball team, right?
She has the role of the scarecrow in the new all female wizard of oz!
Jeez, she’s just taking over everything.
So a nit wit gets 27k votes from dopeheads and suddenly the twit knows foreign policy? Just goes to show why some people never should vote.
“I think what we are really seeing is an ascent of authoritarianism across the world,” she said....PROJECTION
She’s free to discuss it with Tlaib and 0mar. No one else gives a rat’s rear end what those three think. Including her Grand Exalted Botoxness.
not just that but israel is a massively important medical body creating cures for some of the world’s toughest diseases-
She wants to stop support for Israel? Yeah- that’s just what we need- God removing His blessings on this nation for not supporting His people
I’d try frackin’...
Make SI energy independent again...[even if it involves horizontal drilling to Elizabeth, NJ...]
Discussed? Sure. Cut the military? No. End of discussion.
Yes’m Massa Ocasio. You just tell us how high to jump massa.
So sick of this know-nothing worthless cant.
[[I hope I’m not the only Christian left that believes the only reason we have not been Sodomized is because of the support we have given to Israel since her restoration. ]]
No you are not- God promised to bless those that bless Israel- and He means it- He does not lie- and that blessing is for ever- it still applies today- God has greatly blessed this nation of ours- but liberals would like nothing more to throw it all in God’s face and declare we don’t need His blessings as a nation- forgetting of course that even great nations can be utterly undone in a very short time when God decrees it shall be so!
