        “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,” she said.

        She sounds pretty Pro-Palestine to me

          a rally for Palestinian lives is bigoted and callous, especially while Israel gears up for genocide?

          I didn't know pro-Palestine was using language like “It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity” as a blanket statement for a pro-Palestine rally.

          Bear in mind, AOC made a big stink a year or two back about voting 'No' on a military aid package to Israel that she later changed to 'present' (the aid package passed the House on a vote of like 410-9).

          She's a pragmatic succdem who isn't going to do anything for Palestine, and after that flame up she isn't even going to bother vocally supporting it because she fears for her seat more then she fears for dead Palestinians.

          yeah totally, pro-Palestine is when you call a rally for Palestinian lives "hatred and antisemitism" and "bigotry and callousness"
