Queens Leader Michael Nussbaum Slams AOC’s Lies About Palestinians in Cages

By Jared Evan

Hyper woke Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., has come up with a new complaint about kids being locked up in cages, this time claiming Israelis are caging Palestinian children.

Local Jewish figures such as Queens Jewish Community Council President Michael Nussbaum have made noise about these malicious lies, but the backlash is miniscule compared to the reaction that the Biden administration, DHS, and progressive leaders take when they label speech as “disinformation”.

At a rally of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) in Texas, Cortez complained, “I don’t believe that a child should be in a cage on our border, and I don’t believe a child should be in a cage in the West Bank”, WIN reported.

She doubled down,”I want to be unequivocal; we are here to stand up for the rights of Palestinians and Palestinian children. One hundred percent.”

“I want to be unequivocal; we are here to stand up for the rights of Palestinians and Palestinian children. One hundred percent. Don’t get it twisted. Because disinformation is not the vibe Believing in the basic human dignity and the ability for a person to not be jailed or beaten for who they are, it does not mean that you are bigoted against any other community,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And we gotta call that for what it is.”

Queens Jewish Community Council President Michael Nussbaum immediately responded to the woke leader’s deranged claims.

He told the New York Post that such “spurious and reckless suggestions aimed at Israel” are very concerning to the Jewish community, the report said.

Nussbaum said AOC’s inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric appeals to Jew hatred, as the NY Post pointed out.

This is literally blood libel, accusations so outrageous, pogroms often occur after the spoken lies.

“AOC is always asking for the `other side’ to understand her positions and that of the DSA and the BDS followers who wish to eliminate Israel from the Middle East map,” he said.

Nussbaum said, to AOC, “If you wish to have a real discussion, the Queens Jewish Community Council is willing to engage you in an honest and open conversation. We will defend Israel; you will have to defend the indefensible…. lies and distortions that spew hate and antisemitism.”

He continued, “At some point, people need to be held accountable for their political lies.”

“The Queens Jewish community is concerned when a local elected official makes spurious and reckless suggestions aimed at Israel,” Nussbaum said in a statement provided to The Post.

“Bombastic suggestions and lies are dangerous when spewed by sitting politicians anywhere on the political spectrum. When the far-left mimics the far right in lies and exaggerations, democracy and dialogue suffers.”
