Socialist Darling Ocasio-Cortz Trashes Israel, Calls Them “Occupiers” of Palestine(trunc)
Gateway pundit ^ | 7-16-18 | Hoft

Posted on 07/16/2018 9:50:58 AM PDT by wardaddy

Democrat Socialist darling Ocasio-Cortez sent shock waves through the Democrat Party when she defeated the fourth most powerful Democrat in the House of Representatives, Rep. Joe Crowley, in the New York primary in June.

The Democrat Socialists of America support no borders, no profit, no prisons and no cash bail.

This weekend Ocasio Cortez held an interview with Firing Line with Margaret Hoover on PBS.

Ocasio-Cortez: “I also think that what people are starting to see at least with the occupation of Palestine is the increasing crisis of humanitarian condition. And that to me is where I tend to come from on this issue.”

What does a 28 year old from upstate NY know about any of this?

Well, she does have a Bachelor's in Economics from Boston University. Which is a fancy way of saying that she doesn't know her own ass from a hole in the ground....

A very interesting thought is a liberal GOP candidate in her district might just knock her on her can during the General.
Unlikely the GOP-e could figure this out.

Keep talking, stupid bitch. You’re digging your Commie hole deeper by the day, both with potential contributors (I’m sure that there aren’t a lot of Jewish or born-again Christian voters in her shitholian district) and with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...you know, The Big Guy Who promised to have Israel’s back in perpetuity.

Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacks Israel, calls them the occupiers of Palestine.

When pressed on what she meant she struggled to give an answer and then admitted she does not know what she is talking about. pic.twitter.com/e3Uq1eupD3
— Ryan Saavedra ???? (@RealSaavedra) July 16, 2018

In her own words, Ocasio-Cortez describes the “occupation of Palestine” as: “Oh, um... [long pause] I think it, what I meant is, the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas... where, um, Palestinians are experiencing, uh, difficulty in accessing to, um, their housing and homes.” She added, “I am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue.”

Not ready for prime-time player, is what she is.

You don’t know whether to laugh at Ocasio-Cortez for embarrassing herself so badly, or to cry for the Democratic primary voters of New York District 14 for saddling themselves with this pretentious know-nothing. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Or both.

This clip of Ocasio-Cortez is revealing in two ways. The obvious, even superficial reveal is either “See what she really thinks of Israel” or “Look at how ignorant she is.” And I suspect both are true.

But put the two together you get the Big Reveal.

It isn’t just that Ocasio-Cortez hates Israel, or that she’s dangerously uninformed — it’s that she’s dangerously uninformed about an important issue. Reflexively so.

All Ocasio-Cortez really seems to know is that the Progressive Left sides with the Palestinians — and so she does, too. I suspect that’s as deep as her commitment to “Democratic” Socialism goes. All the Smart Pretty People believe in Nice Things like high-paying jobs for low-skilled work, Medicare For All, and the Palestinian Authority. And she’s one of the Smart Pretty People, so she buys into all that stuff without the prerequisite of, you know, actual knowledge about any of that stuff.

Ocasio-Cortez has a bachelor’s in economics and international relations from Boston University, yet was working as a bartender seven years after graduating — how much did she really learn, and did Boston teach her anything of value? These are fair questions to ask of a graduate in economics and international relations who peddles starry-eyed (and discredited) economic theory, and who admits to such ignorance about one of our thorniest foreign affairs issues.

And while it might be unfair to millions of sharp millennials, Ocasio-Cortez fits perfectly the generational stereotype of being pretentious and smugly certain about issues of which she’s comically ignorant.

I fear she’ll go far.

This crazy bitch thinks she just got elected president.

She’ll be one of 435 in the GOP controlled House....and yes, it will remain GOP controlled.

She will be the new ugly face of the RAT party, and she will repulse voters throughout most of the country.

I’ll bet this idiot doesn’t know that Jordan, which is 90% Palestinian, was established as the Palestinian state when the Mideast was broken up into the various Nation states.

The part about American Jews I disagree

I’ve known many many including a few intimately

I agree liberal Jews don’t like quasi conservative Israeli governments and arguably support Israel less than say die hard evangelicals

But I’ve observed that liberal Jews vote based on four things

To limit the power of Christian conservatism which they fear and loathe

Abortion rights

Identity victim politics especially racism

Israel or at least lip service same as going to temple on occasion for yom kippur

I’ve actually had it explained to me just like that by a Jewish lover which sadly precipitated our ice storm
