Ocasio-Cortez shared a 'Christmas'
message in which she compared
Jesus to Gazans. Reinventing history
she likened Jesus’ persecutors to
present-day Israel. In her Instagram
post on Sunday she purported fake
news/lies, that Jesus was born in
“modern-day Palestine” under a
government carrying out “a massacre
of innocents.” According to the New
Testament, Jesus was a Jew who lived
within the modern borders of Israel and
was killed by the Roman forces ruling the
territory at the time.
US Representative Ritchie Torres, a New York Democrat and vocal advocate for Israel, criticizes comparisons between Jesus and the Palestinians in a post that doesn’t directly mention Ocasio-Cortez. “It is antisemitic to compare Israelis to the Romans who murdered Jesus. Associating Jews with the murder of Jesus is antisemitism,” Torres writes on X."
