Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted for a resolution on Wednesday which endorses a bogus Israel lobby definition of anti-Semitism.

In backing the measure, she broke with several other members of the so-called Squad, the dwindling group of progressive Democrats in Congress, and sided with the Anti-Defamation League, a powerful Israel lobby group that welcomed the resolution’s passage.

Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were the only Democrats to vote no on the resolution.

The same people pushing flawed IHRA definition:

  • celebrate Holocaust denial (Black Ribbon Day)

  • refuse to commit to removing names of Nazi collaborators from Victims of Communism memorial

  • protect monuments to war criminals with funds meant to protect synagogues

I’m not familiar with the IHRA, but it seems clear to me already that it exists to run cover for Zionism as a Western settler-colonial project.
