In the wake of shocking videos that show Hamas thugs burning babies alive in front of their parents during their horrific and unprovoked attack on Israel, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and her ilk won’t condemn the demonic terrorists!
AOC and the rest of New York’s socialist politicians are showing their true colors — and they’re not pretty.
Of 17 hard-left “progressives” that the NY Post called for reaction to Hamas’ massacre of Israelis and demonstrations celebrating it in NYC, not one offered a simple, unequivocal condemnation.
Leaving this writer and many others to wonder, do their constituents have any idea how morally bankrupt their representatives truly are?
After Hamas terrorists savagely slaughtered more than 1000 Israelis and kidnapped 150 others (grandmothers, babies, young kids), when Israel’s supporters and those who’ve lost loved ones are still grieving, pro-massacre protesters at a NY rally came out to rub salt in the wound.
Some brandished swastikas; others burned the Israeli flag.
Yet none of the soulless New York politicians the Post contacted, including AOC that the Post says in contact, could state in simple, unadulterated language what should be a moral no-brainer: that Hamas’ butchery is repugnant, and nothing whatsoever justifies it.
The Post says that it reached out to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, state Sens. Julia Salazar, Jabari Brisport, and Kristen Gonzalez, five Assembly members, five City Council members, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and city Comptroller Brad Lander.
Most couldn’t bring themselves even to return the call, knowing New Yorkers would be repulsed by their callous inhumanity.
Of the three Dems who did comment, they gave only shockingly muddled statements.
Brisport broadly condemned any “glorification of death” but made sure to blast supposed “atrocities against Palestinians.”
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani condemned the protester’s “rhetoric” but also noted his “support for Palestinian liberation.”
AOC didn’t respond or comment on the rally, and while she did blast Hamas’ attack on Saturday, she also railed about the Jewish State’s “oppression and occupation.” She also babbled incomprehensibly about proposing a ceasefire that would allow the terrorists to retain their hostages and face no consequences for their Satanic actions.
Lander also never returned the Post’s call but, like AOC, slammed the protest in a tweet while also stressing the need to work for “an end to the [Israeli] Occupation.”
City Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, meanwhile, tweeted her “heart is with” all Israelis and Palestinians killed, but “nothing can free everyday Israelis from danger and fear unless it also frees everyday Palestinians from oppression and occupation.”
Last time I checked, the only ones occupying and oppressing “innocent” Palestinians was Hamas itself!
