American Thinker-
Freshman Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently revealed her true feelings about Israel. During a radio interview on the Ebro in the Morning program that was aired on July 30, Ocasio-Cortez concurred wholeheartedly with the program’s host that “what’s going on with Israel and Palestine [sic] … is very, very, criminal, and it is very, very unjust.” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez went on to say that people such as Palestinians have no other option than to “riot” because they are “marginalized” by Israel.
A few days after Ocasio-Cortez said injustice is a threat to the safety of all people, a 19-year-old Israeli soldier named Dvir Sorek was found stabbed to death near Kibbutz Migdal Oz in the West Bank. Sorek was neither armed nor in uniform when his body was found. Sorek was studying at a seminary as part of a program combining Torah studies and military service. He was last seen leaving Migdal Oz to buy books for his teachers.
While it’s highly unlikely that Ocasio-Cortez has ever heard of Dvir Sorek, her words lend credence to the idea that the killing of unarmed people in the name of justice isn’t just understandable, but justified. “Once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot, right?” Ocasio-Cortez asked during the morning radio show.
By selectively overlooking horrific crimes if they’re perpetrated in the name of an exotic, fashionable cause, Ocasio-Cortez is shaping up to be a 2019 version of the “useful idiot.” This is a term credited to Vladimir Lenin that summed up his disdainful attitude toward communist sympathizers in the West. Lenin and his Soviet comrades viewed such people as valuable tools for spreading communist propaganda and infecting countries around the world with totalitarian tripe.
Meanwhile, the reaction of pro-Israel advocacy groups to Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks was swift and ineffective. read more
I can only think of one use 🙂
OK maybe two, she could make me a cocktail beforehand…
She was probably a lame bartender. Hey, hitler was a corporal.
She really is a symptom of a very grave disease our nation is suffering from. The cure won’t be pretty.
BTW, what are the odds the illegal gun shooter in Philly, named Maurice, is the white guy the media wanted him to be? Place yer bets.
I awoke only to find that the rest of the world was still asleep.

Grool, it appears the Philly shooter is a *gasp* “person of color”…
Narrative…going…going…gone
Philly? Never heard of it.
I know how she could position herself to be useful to me. Decorum prohibits further details, however.
It has long been said that if the Palestinians ever laid down their arms, peace would break out.
If the Israelis ever laid down their arms the Jews would be wiped out!
Useful idiot. She is perfect for the job—at least the idiot part.
Facts have little or nothing to do with anything people like her say. It’s all about convincing the snoozing public just how deeply they care. They that don’t signal they care as much as those enlightened visionary’s are the cold blooded creators of the problems. It’s a popular game these days and every idiot want’s a place on stage to play.
What a stupid bitch.
What use?
Sandy O’Cortez is the 21st Century version of “Chatty Cathy” – pull the string and out come disjointed pre-recorded messages, in an annoying voice, that have absolutely no context and no relationship to reality.
Sort of a ventriloquist dummy.
Whenever she speaks, the first thought is “Nobody’s that fucking dumb!” but, lo and behold! she proves you wrong.
izlamo delenda est …
The useful idiots are the ones that voted for her. She is not a Representative. She is a paid agitator, bought by Soros, using her position to push Marxist propaganda about national and world issues which have nothing to do with NYC-14. Almost none of her current campaign contributions come from people in her district.
NYC-14, you could have a real Representative to advocate for your interests, instead of a shill for elites who don’t give a shit about your grimy little local problems. Just vote for the other person in 2020, whoever that may be. It couldn’t be any worse than it is now.
Or at least, AN “idiot.” 😳
I was deeply disturbed by your libersl application of the word “useful”.
She would get lost taking out the trash!
Those that curse Israel will be cursed by God. Look at the shithole muslim countries for your proof.
No such thing as these fake palestinians. Just nomadic arabs jn the region indistinguishable from the others.
It’s not like barmaids are never recruited for their genius, ya know?
