The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…
Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”
Yeah, and what would you prefer he say?
“From the River to the Sea / Palestine will be free” would be a great place to start.
Bernie already supports the right of the Palestinian state to exist. So you’ve got your wish.
Unless you want Israel to also stop existing?
In which case you’re not aligned because Bernie supports a two state solution.
Which is a reasonable position to take IMO.
