TRUE COLORS? NY Socialist Refers to Israel as the ‘OCCUPIERS OF PALESTINE’

Cortez was speaking with PBS when she was asked to weigh-in on unfolding events in the Middle East, particularly the growing conflict between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas-backed fighters.

“You used the term occupation of Palestine, what did you mean by that?” pressed the reporter.
“What I meant, is like, the settlements,” she fired-back.
