AOC didn't tweet a thing on Oct. 7.
She didn't tweet a thing on Oct. 8.
She didn't tweet a thing on Oct. 9.
On Oct. 10, she was finally moved to tweet. She saw footage of 5 or 6 extremist American Jews saying terrible, extreme things. And she needed the world to know.

If you’ve commented on this thread with wild imaginations, please tweet me your real names and your ethnicity so I can add them to future presentations. Let us know your connection to Palestine, even if you think you’ve had ties to the land 3,000 years ago. Especially Europeans.

In some circles, murdering Jewish babies and abducting Jewish octogenarians isn't evil.
Saying what happened to Jews is evil.
“Deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust” is a vile attempt at using the state-sanctioned, racist murders of millions of Jews to justify the state-sanctioned, racist murders of millions of Palestinians, Arabs & other nonwhite people in the Middle East.

I don't know who has to hear this—or why NYT reporters have to hear this—but when Hamas says they'll take a Palestinian state in the WB and Gaza but will continue to demand all of Israel become part of that state, that's not "limiting its territorial ambitions."

The thing about apologia for murderers and rapists is that when it's so glaringly sadistic, you can't easily get away with saying "It's good!"
So instead: "Let's debate. Reasonable people can disagree about the merits of beheading of migrant workers and setting Jews on fire."
