Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jared Moskowitz clashed over the latter's condemnation of Bernie Sanders.
Moskowitz has emerged as a prominent defender of Israel and has criticized many on the Left over their response to the war in Gaza. On Wednesday, he criticized Sanders for allegedly not properly condemning antisemitism, a remark that drew the ire of Ocasio-Cortez.“Sen. Sanders’ family was killed in the Holocaust,” she wrote in response to Moskowitz. “He dedicates his every moment to realizing tikkun olam. His commitment to protecting innocents in Gaza stems FROM his Jewish values.
“My family was also killed in the Holocaust,” he said in response to her condemnation. “In Germany and in Poland. My grandmother was in the kinder-transport. They also instilled values in me. It’s why I voted for aid to Israel and for aid to Gaza. We see each other at work, we are both better than doing this here.”
