AOC Backs Anti-Israel Socialist in NYC Mayoral Race, Ignores Jewish Victims in D.C. Attack

Leave it to New York's Democratic Socialist Alexandria Obviously-Corrupt (AOC), the poster child for the far-left "Squad," to throw her weight behind a candidate who cannot bring himself to support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. 

The anti-Israel/anti-Semite has endorsed Zohran Mamdani, another Democratic Socialist assemblyman from Queens, in his long-shot bid for New York City mayor. This is the same guy who’s openly dodged affirming Israel’s Jewish identity and has a cozy relationship with the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Not all that surprising being that he's an Islamist who quietly sides with everyone who doesn't side with Israel or the, you know, Jews.

After a primary debate on Wednesday night, AOC gushed to The New York Times, “Assembly member Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack.” Translation: she’s all in for a guy who’s trailing Andrew Cuomo by double digits and whose radical views, especially on Israel and the US, make even some Democrats cringe.

When pressed on the Israel-Gaza conflict, Mamdani played coy. He started by saying he believes Israel has the right to exist but clammed up when asked about its Jewish character. “As a Jewish state?” the moderator pressed. Mamdani’s weak response? “As a state with equal rights.” 

That’s a dodge so blatant it could star in an action movie. And just to double down, he’s also said he wouldn’t visit Israel if elected, mainly because he hates Israelis, especially those of the Jewish persuasion. 

Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic front-runner, didn’t let that slide. “And his answer was no, he won’t visit Israel,” Cuomo fired back, pointing out Mamdani’s refusal to engage with the Jewish state. Mamdani’s track record doesn’t help his case. He refused to co-sponsor state resolutions honoring Israel’s founding or commemorating the Holocaust. Apparently, those are just too much for him or he thinks the Holocaust either didn't happen, or was justified.

But let’s not pretend AOC’s endorsement is some noble stand for “working-class New Yorkers.” This is the same AOC who couldn’t bring herself to mention the word “Jew” or “Israel” when condemning a horrific antisemitic attack in Washington, D.C. 

After two Israeli Embassy staffers were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum, AOC took to X with this gem: 

“Absolutely nothing justifies the murder of innocents. I am devastated by the killing of two people outside an @AJCGlobal event here in Washington. Our prayers are with the victims, families, and loved ones of all impacted. As we await more details, we must be clear that hatred has no home here. Antisemitism is a threat to all we hold dear as a society. It must be confronted and rooted out everywhere.”

Notice what’s missing? No mention of the victims being Jewish or tied to Israel. X user Arsen Ostrovsky called her out, writing, “‘Two people’? They were two JEWS. And more specifically, worked at the Israeli Embassy. These are pertinent details.” You’d think AOC, who never misses a chance to lecture on “hate,” would get the memo. Apparently not.

Technically, Yaron Lishinsky, 30, was Christian, and he was engaged to Sarah Lynn Milgram, 26, who was Jewish. The killer likely assumed both were Jews when he shot them in cold blood as they were leaving the Jewish Museum. They both worked for the Israeli Embassy.

But this is par for the course with AOC and her allies. Back a candidate who sidesteps Israel’s Jewish identity, pal around with the BDS crowd, and then play word games when Jewish lives are lost. If this is the “coalition” AOC thinks will lead New York, good luck to the Big Apple. Well,  not really good luck. I sincerely hope AOC is voted out of office and Mamdani gets his ass handed to him in the election, as much as I don't like Cuomo.

Wouldn't it be nice if a Republican won the election?
