Ocasio-Cortez Accuses Pro-Israel Group AIPAC of Undermining US Democracy and Promoting Racism

The New York congresswoman's criticism of AIPAC's endorsement of January 6th insurrectionists and violent policies in Palestine follows the pro-Israel lobby's slam on lawmakers voting against a resolution standing in support of Israel.

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dismissed American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)'s political attack targeted at lawmakers, notably Rep. Thomas Massie, who rejected legislations endorsed by them.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized AIPAC for endorsing candidates from both major political parties who unquestioningly support Israel's policies, including violent courses of action against civilians in Palestine.
The New York congresswoman characterized AIPAC as an extremist organization that undermines U.S. democracy after they endorsed numerous participants of the January 6th insurrection.
AIPAC has faced criticism in the past for spending millions of dollars to defeat progressive candidates who support Palestinian rights and pro-democracy reforms in the U.S.
Ocasio-Cortez's comments denouncing AIPAC drew support from other members of Congress, such as Rep. Mark Pocan, who agreed that AIPAC's presence in U.S. politics has been toxic.
