AOC slammed for declare that ‘fake accusations’ of antisemitism are ‘wielded in opposition to community of colour’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., stated all through a web-based dialogue she hosted on Monday that “false accusations of antisemitism are wielded against people of color.”

The “Squad” member hosted a web-based livestream titled “Antisemitism and the Fight for Democracy” on X, admitting that the get up in antisemitism and assaults in opposition to Jews since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel – the place about 1,200 community have been killed and roughly 250 others have been taken as hostages into Gaza – “undermined” the enthusiastic motion.

“Antisemitism, hate and violence against Jews because of their identity is real, and it is dangerous. It is also important to say here in this moment and during that conversation that criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic and criticism of Zionism is not automatically antisemitic,” Ocasio-Cortez stated.

“That being true does not mean that we should not recognize that criticism and when that criticism crosses a line into real harm against our Jewish community,” she persevered. “Antisemitism is an assault on our values as Americans and especially as progressives. Antisemitism is also a threat to a community that is a vital partner in our struggles against injustice. So, when the Jewish community is threatened, the progressive movement is undermined. That is why we reject it as fiercely as we reject and look for misogyny, Islamophobia or any form of bigotry or discrimination in any space that we occupy. Right now, antisemitism is on the rise in America and across the world. Acknowledging that fact does not take away from fights for liberation, it actually advances them.”

“At the same time, it is also true that accusations and false accusations of antisemitism are wielded against people of color and women of color by bad-faith political actors,” Ocasio-Cortez stated. “And weaponizing antisemitism is used to divide us and create a false choice between the fight for Jewish safety and the calls for Palestinian self-determination. Defending and standing for the rights of Palestinians is not antisemitic, and we must be able to identify when bad-faith political actors make accusations simply to divide us. People can disagree bitterly about Israel and Gaza, but it has felt that we’ve been at a point where even coming together to acknowledge and discuss any antisemitism at all can feel impossible.”

Nation who’ve represented either side of the political spectrum slammed Ocasio-Cortez for announcing that there are fake claims of antisemitism aimed toward community of colour.

It’s why so many people are not going to vote for the Democratic Party, for Biden or anyone else. I am convinced of that, that this will be an historic year in terms of Jews moving away from the Democratic Party, historic. People like Ocasio-Cortez, she contributes to the hate. She makes things more dangerous – really, really sad.”

“By the way, I’ve never met antisemites who didn’t say they were against antisemitism,” added Hikind, who based the group American citizens In opposition to Antisemitism. “And she’s full of it. She’s absolutely full of it.”

“AOC’s ‘Squad’ includes the most noxious antisemites in Congress,” wrote Sam Markstein, RJC nationwide political director. “And across the board, Democrats have shamefully refused to hold the Hamas Caucus of their party accountable. It is shocking that the Democratic Party has this much difficulty calling out antisemitism – instead of despicable race-baiting, AOC should focus on fighting bigotry in her own ranks.”

That’s how the Nazis got the German people to live with this so-called Final Solution. And so we do the work all the time to avoid words that correlate with negative stereotypes. And we need to do that here. Second, you know, empathy and care and inclusion cannot be limited only to Jews who reject Zionism.”

They were all murdered because they were Jews, OK? And when I hear people like AOC and others indulging in these antisemitic tropes, which then are picked up by other people, and that results in assaults on Jews, and that results in hatred towards Jews, she is contributing towards that.”
