Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., NEVER wanted this video to see daylight.
Ocasio-Cortez’ affiliation with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSOA) cost her big time this week after members of her party were filmed screaming for the eradication of Jews in the Middle East.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” they could be heard chanting.
The video depicts the DSOA adopting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign, an anti-Israel movement.

Talk about anti-Semitic…
The infamous chant heard in the video is a source of pain for many people in this country and in Israel.
Hamas, a radical Islamic terror group, uses the phrase regularly when they demand the extermination of the Jews in Israel. In many ways, it’s akin to German nationalists shouting “blood and soil” at a town hall.
In fact, former CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill was fired from CNN in 2018 for uttering the same phrase on air.
It looks like Ocasio-Cortez has some explaining to do.
In the past, the Brooklyn native has claimed she comes from Jewish heritage as part of a mass emigration to Puerto Rico. But she has a compicated history with Israel.
In a 2018 interview, Ocasio-Cortez referred to the Israel invasion of Palestine an “occupation.” She has also accused Israeli soldiers of committing massacres.
Seconds later, she said the conflict was a “crisis of humanitarian conflict.”

When will the media finally start talking about the rise in antisemitism on the left?
