<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) faced criticism on Christmas for a distorted retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ and for trying to politicize the event by making false comparisons to the situation in modern day Israel.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader&#8217;s power. Mary and Joseph, displaced by violence and forced to flee, became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thousands of years later, right wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today&#8217;s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has cancelled this year&#8217;s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both safety and respect,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And yet, also today, holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence &#8212; for every child born, of any identity and from any place, is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nowhere in her post on Instagram did Ocasio-Cortez make any mention of Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attack on Israel in which the Islamic terrorist group murdered 1,200 Israelis, wounded 5,300+, took more than 240 people hostage, and engaged in a sadistic campaign of rape against Israeli women and children.</p>
<p>&#8220;The entire story of Christmas and Christ himself is about standing with the poor and powerless, the marginalized and maligned, the refugees and immigrants, the outcast and misunderstood, without exception,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;This high Christian holiday is about honoring the precious sanctity of a family that, if the story were to unfold today, would be Jewish Palestinians.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ocasio-Cortez was called out online over her remarks by a wide range of individuals.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nothing to see here&#8230; just a Democratic congresswoman with a large social media following openly hating on Jews in broad daylight,&#8221; said columnist Joe Concha.</p>
<p>Jacob N. Kornbluh, senior political reporter at The Forward, wrote: &#8220;AOC describes Israel as a ‘violent right wing occupying force’ in Christmas post. No mention of Hamas terror, the victims of Oct. 7 attack.&#8221;</p>
