AOC votes to back Israel lobby's bogus "anti-Semitism" definition
New York congresswoman panders to the Israel lobby.
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.
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.

Wow, that is very disappointing, to put it mildly. Of course, it is just the latest in a series of actions that have pulled her away from support for Palestine. Her Instagram meeting on antisemitism with 3 pro-israel figures, plus her awful speech in support of Harris at the DNC gave us a clear indication of her direction.

I agree and it is sad because she didn't use to be this way, wtf happened to her?
