Staffer of AOC Republic Party Called Israel “Racist, European Ethnic-State”

[Br.IanVonTurpie]

A member of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's staff has reportedly condemned Israel as a 'racist European ethnostate' on social media

It will reignite the row over attitudes to Israel by some elements of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and its so-called squad, who had frequently highlighted how millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories are denied rights extended to Jewish citizens of Israel

And it comes as AOC is under fire after photographs emerged of the congresswoman from New York drinking a cocktail, without wearing a mask, in Florida.

The latest controversy was triggered by Hussain Altamimi, who joined Ocasio-Cortez's office in November as a legislative assistant, according to Fox News. 

Last week he targeted Israel with an Instagram story.

'Israel is a racist European ethnostate built on stolen land from its indigenous population!' he wrote on Christmas Eve, according to a screenshot obtained by Fox News Digital.

He added the comments to a post from the 'Let's Talk Palestine' account, which made reference to a 'racial hierarchy' in Israel. 

'This reveals the principle underpinning Israeli apartheid: It's not about where you're born,' the shared post reads.

'It's about whether you're Jewish or non-Jewish. Your ethnicity determines your rights [and] level in the racial hierarchy.'

Critics of Israel point to the way Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem - almost three million people - do not have the right to vote in Israeli elections, despite living under Israeli rule. Nor do the two million people living in Gaza.

However, some social media users were quick to condemn Altamimi and his definition of Israel as a racist state.

'That's wrong for many reasons, and it erases Mizrahi Jews like me,'wrote Sia Kordestani on Twitter. 'A majority of Jewish Israelis are descendants of 850,000 Jews violently expelled from Arab countries.'

Meanwhile, AOC was under fire for her decision to visit the red state of Florida and its relaxed COVID rules when she was spotted having a maskless meal in Miami Beach on Thursday

 Criticising I$ra-hell ?! That's a taboo! As for the Above quote.... I feel you can apply a parallel to that for Australian Boongs or descendants of them who get racial privileges and benefits at the expense of others!
