Yesterday, it was revealed that one of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's staffers recently described Israel as "a racist European ethnostate."
Hussain Altamimi, who joined AOC's staff in November, used the phrase in an Instagram post.
That AOC would hire a staffer with such views should hardly come as a surprise because they reflect her own values or lack thereof. Back in May, AOC tweeted, "Apartheid states aren't democracies," in reference to Israel during which time Hamas was launching missiles into Israel. Last September, she temporarily succeeded in blocking funding for Israel's Iron Dome and then cried when she didn't get her way though she should be happy that Rand Paul is taking up her cause.
Never mind that Israeli Arabs have full citizenship and the current Israeli government is being held together by Mansour Abbas, a Palestinian Arab. Why would AOC let facts get in the way of defaming Jews?
For AOC to fire Altamimi would mean she would have to fire herself. Altamimi isn't going anywhere. Being an anti-Semite is a prerequisite to be hired by AOC.
