Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: AOC votes to back Israel Lobby's bogus anti-Semitism definition Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted for a resolution on Wednesday which endorses a bogus Israel lobby definition of anti- Semitism. In backing the measure, she broke with several other members of the so- called Squad, the dwindling group of progressive Democrats in Congress, and sided with the Anti-Defamation League, a powerful Israel lobby group that welcomed the resolution’s passage. ADL applauds the passage of H.Res 1449, welcoming the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism and urging countries and international bodies to join the U.S. in adopting them. Thank you, @RepKManning and Rep. Chris Smith, for your bipartisan leadership on this resolution https://t.co/mSm4UjAib8 — ADL (@ADL) November 20, 2024 Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were the only Democrats to vote no on the resolution. “I opposed this resolution because it embraces the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, which dangerously conflates criticism of the state of Israel with anti-Semitism,” Tlaib said. Tlaib expressed concern that the resolution “will be used to stifle dissent and chill free speech, especially Palestinian human rights advocacy.” Poster Comment: I am disappointed in AOC. The highlight of her career was dancing on a rooftop while she was a student at BU. Voting with Israel against free speech in America is just silly. Israel will still blacklist her. Brecheen OK voted NO Burlison MO Cloud Tx Clyde Ga Crane AZ Good (VA) Gosar Az Higgins (LA) Hunt Tx Jackson Tx Roy Tx Zinke Montana All of the above voted against AIPAC. Only 3 Dems did so. Even AOC sided with the Devil. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
