'Squad' member blasted for anti-Israel message on Christmas, likening Jesus to Palestinian people
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received criticism for an Instagram Christmas message likening Jesus to Palestinians.
"Thousands of years later, right-wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians, so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has canceled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both [fear for their] safety and respect," she added, although the area is currently under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
"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," she concluded.
