AOC rides the progressive image by talking positively about Palestine, but she consistently backs the liberal Zionist status quo. She propagates Israel “has a right to exist”, that criticizing Zionists is antisemitic, that resisting genocide is terrorism, that calling for freedom in Palestine is genocidal, etc.
They speak up about Palestinians being slaughtered, but they only frame it as Israel going too far in their legitimate response to being attacked. Like all Zionists, she pretends history started on October 7, She never addresses Palestinian’s right to self defense or resistance to 78 years of ethnic cleansing and colonization, she never condemns the root of the problem, just some individual headlines that will be forgotten.
She’s a neo liberal just like the lot of them, she’s slightly more “progressive” but she works hard to stop the wheel from turning too far left.
