“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

NEW YORK — The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is facing a political firestorm after the organization promoted a pro-Palestine rally in the wake of Hamas militants’ attacks on Israeli communities.

The group did not organize Sunday’s rally, its leadership said Monday. But several lawmakers with DSA ties are distancing themselves from what was said at the event.

      So true. The struggle session DSA has had about punishing representatives that go to Washington and then do the opposite of what they were endorsed for was huge. They should have dropped Bowman and AOC

    New York Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs said he expects there will be political repercussions for elected officials who have been endorsed by the organization, which includes Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who have been reelected by wide margins.

    “I think anything like this gives voters an indication of what this group stands for,” Jacobs said. “Candidates who run with that endorsement or state they are members of the group, they’ll face the electorate, and I think they’ll see the consequences.”

      Brilliant strategy on the Dems’ part: go after your most popular politicians and your grassroots at the same time.

    there is no war where an innocent civilian was not killed. but some conditions are so horrible that it will kill more than a war. liberals are incapable of understanding this.
