DSA Withdraws Endorsement of AOC Over Israel Stance
The Democratic Socialists of America rescinded support for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, citing her insufficient opposition to U.S. funding for Israel.
- The DSA's National Political Committee had conditionally endorsed AOC in June, requiring her to oppose all U.S. funding to Israel and support the BDS movement.
- AOC's participation in a panel on antisemitism and her support for the Iron Dome were key factors in the withdrawal.
- The DSA criticized AOC for conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism during the panel discussion.
- Despite the national withdrawal, the DSA's New York City chapter continues to support AOC.
- This move reflects growing tensions within progressive circles over the Israel-Palestine conflict.
