AOC: Antisemitism Undermines Progressive Movement

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, a member of “the Squad” of extreme left-leaning House Democrats, said Monday that antisemitism is undermining the “progressive community.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a harsh critic of Israel’s military operation against Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, made her comments during an online discussion on antisemitism and the “fight for democracy” on X with Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and Stacy Burdett, a former staffer at the Anti-Defamation League.

“Antisemitism is an assault on our values as Americans, and especially as progressives,” she said, according to The Hill. “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.”
