While the attacks on Israel’s Gaza Strip continue, Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the US House of Representatives, criticized the Israel lobby. Ocasio-Cortez targeted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), saying, “It’s time for us to realize what a toxic presence AIPAC is in our political system. They actively support candidates trying to overthrow US elections and run smear campaigns against members of Congress who defend human rights.” “They are carrying it out. That’s enough,” he said.
Stating that AIPAC is not a friend of US democracy, Ocasio-Cortez said, “They are also one of the most racist and bigoted PACs (Political Action Committee) in Congress and disproportionately target black members. “They are an extremist organization that is destabilizing US democracy,” he said.
