Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued her trend of making offensive remarks that are rooted in a twisted and dangerous ideology this week, agreeing in an appearance on New York radio show “Ebro in the Morning” with Ebro Darden that Israel is “criminal” in its treatment of Palestinians, whom AOC claims have no other choice but to “riot” against the Jewish state.
[Darden] asserted that “corrupt” governments in Israel, the United States, Russia and Saudi Arabia were “all working in concert.”
“How do you have white supremacist Jews?” Ebro asked. “How do you have people like Stephen Miller? How do you have these individuals who are legit aligning with racism and white supremacy, but they’re Jewish? And it’s something that most people can’t wrap their brains around. But it’s a real thing.”

But it’s a real thing.”
He added: “And what’s going on with Israel and Palestine, while it’s very, very, deep, it is very, very, criminal, and it is very, very unjust.”
Rather than push back against Darden’s bizarre and blatantly ignorant claim, Ocasio-Cortez agreed, adding that “I think, too, where we’re at as a country when it comes to Israel-Palestine is very much a generational issue.”
Ocasio-Cortez also stated that the “right-wing” unfairly accuses her of anti-Semitism when she’s actually just being critical of the Israeli government.
“Criticizing the occupation doesn’t make you anti-Israel, frankly. It doesn’t mean that you are against the existence of a nation,” she said. “It means that you believe in human rights, and it’s about making sure that Palestinian human rights are equal to Israeli human rights, and there are a lot of troubling things happening there.”
Ocasio-Cortez claimed Palestinians have no other choice but to resort to violence as they are “marginalized.”
As you can imagine, WIBC host Tony Katz, a white man (see photos for validation of claim) who is proud of his Jewish heritage had more than a bit to say in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and radio host Ebro Darden:
“The idea of Israel as an apartheid state, the idea of Israel as an oppressor is nonsense trash. The idea of Israel as ‘perfect’ is also nonsense trash.
…But I think someone should pay attention to the fact that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is going along with [Ebro Darden] and his claim of white supremacist Jew nonsense. [Are AOC and Ebro Darden] talking about Stephen MIller (advisor to the President) specifically, or are you talking about anyone who is on the political right?
I support President Trump and his policies. I have issues with the tweets and the things he says, but he moved the U.S. Embassy Jerusalem, which is the capital of Israel – always has been, always will be. The question is, ‘Does that make me a white supremacist Jew?’
I swear to you, I have now been called everything, but to Ebro Darden, answer the question. If I support President Trump and I am Jewish, do I now fall into the category of white supremacist Jew? Or is it possible that what you said is gross, you’re not quite sure what you said, and you’re not really sure about all the facts? Because as far as I can tell, that’s got to be the most ridiculous bunch of crap I’ve ever heard in my life.”
