New York City mayoral hopeful Andrew Yang expressed support for Israel amid its clashes with Palestinians in a tweet that drew cheers from top Republicans and jeers from the left – as he sparked the hashtag #YangSupportsGenocide.
“I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists,” Yang tweeted Monday night .
“The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere,” he added.
US Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) cheered Yang’s message of support for the Jewish state, tweeting: “Bravo to Yang for opposing the rabidly pro-Hamas & anti-Israel attacks from fellow Dems Omar & Tlaib.”
Progressive “Squad” member Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have all expressed their support for the Palestinians.
Omar said in a tweet that “Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism.”
“Israel attacks it during Ramadan. Where’s the outrage @POTUS?” Tlaib said in a tweet.
Ocasio-Cortez went directly after the mayoral candidate.
“Utterly shameful for Yang to send out a chest-thumping statement of support for a strike killing 9 children, especially after his silence as Al-Aqsa was attacked,” AOC wrote on Twitter.
“The View” co-host Meghan McCain posted the hashtag “#YANGGANG!”
Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, who served seven years of a 35-year prison sentence before President Barack Obama commuted her sentence, reacted to Yang’s tweet with a “Yikes.”

Yang is annoying bourgeois yuppie twat, but his first tweet in support was very much correct.
At least the Squad is unbiased./s
If the IDF were out to commit genocide, it would have been done already. What morons.
““Israel attacks it during Ramadan. Where’s the outrage @POTUS?” Tlaib said in a tweet.”
I don’t know where the outrage is. Maybe we should ask the citizens of Tel Aviv.
What they're doing is projection.
Whoa!
Gee, I thought Ramadan was a solemn time of prayerful reflection and meditation, to learn the peaceful ways of Allah and try to be a better person. Similar to Lent and Yom Kippur, but what do I know?
