15. AOC statement on the disgusting pro-Hamas rally in Times Square.

Tue Oct 10, 2023, 04:21 PM

Oct 2023

The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.

Curious choice of Twitter accounts to amplify on DU: The Post Millennial Celerity Oct 2023 #7

A Nazi enjoying himself at the NYC-DSA rally. lapucelle Oct 2023 #26

that doesn't explain why your original post amplified not one but two alt right/RW/MAGA tweeters Celerity Oct 2023 #48

That's a photo from the rally and I've been posting the raw footage of the rally. lapucelle Oct 2023 #49

your original post, before you edited it, amplified tweets from 2 alt right/RW accounts Celerity Oct 2023 #52

My original post called out a disgusting display of callous indifference to and outright glee lapucelle Oct 2023 #54

and yet 2 of your original choices to show that despicable DSA rally shite were RW and/or MAGAt Celerity Oct 2023 #59

I posted pictures and raw video taken at an event. lapucelle Oct 2023 #61

I didn't bring 'the other stuff' in here at all. YOU did, by posting those 2 RW twitter accounts. Celerity Oct 2023 #63

Actually, you did. At least a dozen giant spammy pictures of right wing trash. lapucelle Oct 2023 #67

It was simply receipts of the 'RW trash' put out by the original twitter accounts you chose to post Celerity Oct 2023 #72

Good for AOC. Marius25 Oct 2023 #56

It was good. N/T lapucelle Oct 2023 #69

DSA was not the main sponsor of this event AntivaxHunters Oct 2023 #75

NYC-DSA sponsored the event. lapucelle Oct 2023 #81

Ah, yes. They have the courage of their convictions. lapucelle Oct 2023 #84

They are not a "Nazi sympathizer" AntivaxHunters Oct 2023 #22

Yes, it's not unlike the DSA to accuse Israel of being Nazis. LeftInTX Oct 2023 #36

So "merely" antisemitic sarisataka Oct 2023 #44

The context is a pro-Hamas rally in NYC the day after a terrorist slaughter. lapucelle Oct 2023 #46

Oh really? And how about the Pro-Palestine rally in Sydney Australia? Marius25 Oct 2023 #58

I'm not defending it AntivaxHunters Oct 2023 #77

Absolutely nothing Israel has done compares to the Nazis and it's disgusting that these protests Marius25 Oct 2023 #79

DSA used that statement in the letter they sent to Rep. Jamaal Bowman lapucelle Oct 2023 #88
