AOC’s Anti-Historical Palestinian Christmas
28th December 2023
Many on the Left have long attempted to reframe the Christmas story to push their political agenda. They urge lax enforcement of immigration law by insisting that Jesus was a refugee. Now, they claim Jesus would be Palestinian today to undermine support for Israel’s response to Hamas’ massacre of innocents on Oct. 7.
On Christmas Eve, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez became the latest in a line of leftists to declare that Jesus, if born today, would be Palestinian.
He’d still be a Jew, and hence not a ‘Palestinian’ at all. The ‘Palestinians’ are Arabs, self-consciously so, and no more native to ‘Palestine’ than the Irish are to Nebraska.
