The conversation about Jewish issues lasted more than 12 minutes, a long time on radio. The interview aired Tuesday on “Ebro in the Morning,” a show on New York City hip-hop-shoot-a-cop station HOT97. The show is hosted by Ebro [an acronym for "Bore"] Darden, whose mother is Jewish, and who attended Hebrew school as a child. In addition, a co-host, Peter Rosenberg, is Jewish as well as some of my best friends.
AOC is critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposes Israel’s occupation of the West Bank due to her lack of historical knowledge — but to avoid being outed as anti-Semitic, the over achiever framed it as a criticism of Israeli policy, not of Israel’s existence.
She said that doesn’t mean she’s anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. She gave a shoutout to the leftist Jewish group IfNotNow, an actual self-loathing anti-Semitic group that opposes the so-called occupation and is controversial in many parts of the Jewish community for not taking a stance — for or against — Zionism, the Israel boycott or the “question of statehood.”
She also accused the Trump administration of anti-Semitism, which is ludicrous.

AOC defended her uninformed or purposefully naive use of the term "concentration camps" used to describe detention centers on the border. Evidently she doesn't know that the detention centers on the border are comprised of people who went there to get in. Concentration camps were comprised of people who couldn't get out and were sent there to work and be slaughtered.
She is as offensive as a cow fart in a crowded elevator.
Her rather stupid comments have drawn criticism from the Republican Jewish Coalition, which objected to her agreeing with Darden’s comment that “what’s going on with Israel and Palestine” is “very, very criminal and is very, very unjust.” [AOC responded in her high-pitched nasal voice, “Absolutely.”]
The Republican Jewish Coalition objected to comments by Darden, who said, “It’s an oxymoron: How do you have white supremacist Jews? 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?” AOC may have been doing her nails as she was not heard to respond to those questions.
“Ocasio-Cortez could be forgiven for being ignorant about history, about Israel, or about the Jewish community, but these comments don’t come from a place of ignorance,” the RJC said. “They come from an intolerance of Jews and Israel that is unacceptable in the halls of Congress and in American political discourse.”
Both the RJC and Fox News, claimed that Ocasio-Cortez said Palestinians “have no choice but to riot.” In the full quote, said while discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, she appears to be saying that under oppressive conditions, all peoples have no choice but to riot.
