Zoom in: In recent weeks, Ocasio-Cortez has tried to repair her relationship with Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Many members of the group opposed her support for giving Israel defensive weapons, including the Iron Dome missile system, during the war in Gaza — which she has called a “genocide.”
In July 2024, national DSA leaders withdrew their endorsement of her for the elections that year, arguing that she’d conflated “anti-Zionism with antisemitism and condemned boycotting Zionist institutions,” which the group considered a “deep betrayal.”
In a virtual DSA forum last month with New York City members, AOC — who’s also considering a bid for U.S. Senate in 2028 — changed her position on Israel by committing to vote against any U.S. funding to that nation, including for defensive weapons, City and State New York first reported.
During the forum, she said her record on Israel had been distorted, which “does not benefit us as a movement.”
Nope.
‘Progressives’ were getting on Mamdani for not disbanding the NYPD on Day 1.
Non sequitur.
