AOC says 'anti-Semitic' Christian fundamentalism in the US is partially to blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Haha.

She referenced Trump's decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem during his presidency.

As...as antisemitism or...?

"The Israel of today is not the Israel of the Bible," she said.

Based AOC?

"In the United States of America, Christian fundamentalism and nationalism — which has also been extremely anti-Semitic...

What reality is she living in...and how can I get a ticket?

"It's not a coincidence that when Trump was in power, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem," said Ocasio-Cortez. "There is a ton of fundamentalist literature around revelations in the Bible that leads people to project — incorrectly, by the way."

This is not a complete sentence. What is she even saying?

While that decision was hailed by Israelis, 2017 polling by the American Jewish Committee suggested that most American Jews weren't in favor of it. Just 16% said they favored immediately moving the embassy, while another 36% supported it contingent upon further peace talks between Israel and Palestine.

Essentially "Donald Trump cozying up to the Jewish ethno-state of Israel is antisemitic because US Jews are predominantly progressive leftists!"

God this bitch is retarded.

But evangelical Christians, a large constituency within the Republican Party, were strongly supportive of the move.

Don't remind me.

But many Jews view the Christian Zionist movement as anti-Semitic, given that this biblical view also holds that Jews will eventually either convert to Christianity or die en masse in an epic battle of good versus evil.

Holy fucking shitballs. Whatever AOC is smoking, these people smoked the whole bag, I guess.

...Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive lawmakers have argued for restraint on the part of Israel, fearing a retaliation that's likely to kill thousands of Palestinians...Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont accused Israel of violating international law with its announced siege of Gaza, arguing that the US must "insist on restraint from Israeli forces attacking Gaza."

They're not wrong, and I feel dirty now. Especially since everything else they said was so fucking retarded.
