AOC Argues Palestinians Rioting Against Israel is Justified “They Have No Choice”

During an interview with hip hop program “Ebro in the Morning” freshman rep and media sensation Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued that Palestinians are being marginalized by Israel.

AOC offered no pushback and agreed as Ebro called Israel’s actions “criminal and unjust.”

She also made the controversial argument that because Palestinians are marginalized they have no choice but to “riot” against the Jewish State.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agreed that Israel is “criminal” in its treatment of Palestinians, whom she said have no other choice but to “riot” against the Jewish state.

The New York Democrat made her remarks during an appearance on the hip-hop program “Ebro in the Morning” with Ebro Darden, where they touched on a variety of issues concerning the freshman congresswoman.

The host asserted that “corrupt” governments in Israel, the United States, Russia and Saudi Arabia were “all working in concert.”

“How do you have white supremacist Jews?” Ebro asked. “How do you have people like Stephen Miller? How do you have these individuals who are legit aligning with racism and white supremacy, but they’re Jewish? And it’s something that most people can’t wrap their brains around. But it’s a real thing.”

He added: “And what’s going on with Israel and Palestine, while it’s very, very, deep, it is very, very, criminal, and it is very, very unjust.”

But rather than push back against the claims, Ocasio-Cortez agreed with them, saying “Absolutely” and adding that “I think, too, where we’re at as a country when it comes to Israel-Palestine is very much a generational issue.”

She said the right-wing unfairly accuses her of anti-Semitism when she’s actually just being critical of the Israeli government.

“Criticizing the occupation doesn’t make you anti-Israel, frankly. It doesn’t mean that you are against the existence of a nation,” she said. “It means that you believe in human rights, and it’s about making sure that Palestinian human rights are equal to Israeli human rights, and there are a lot of troubling things happening there.”

Ocasio-Cortez went on to say that Palestinians also have no other choice but to resort to violence as they are “marginalized.”

“Jewish people have been persecuted throughout all of human history, but I don’t think that by marginalizing Palestinians, you create safety,” she said.

“I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people, because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized — once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot, right? And it doesn’t have to be that way.”
