“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is facing a political firestorm after the organization promoted a pro-Palestine rally in the wake of Hamas militants’ attacks on Israeli communities.
The group did not organize Sunday’s rally, its leadership said Monday. But several lawmakers with DSA ties are distancing themselves from what was said at the event.
“It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) and one of six DSA members in Congress, said in a statement late Monday — her first comments on the rally.
“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she said.

Well, I read a lot of people’s opinions on why China needs to get nuked since they are lesser humans on mainstream reddit subs, it is not like there is a lot of racism and general hate against China and its citizens on the internet.
Which mainstream reddit subs are these? I used to read r/all but never saw anything like this

Don’t worry, they checked to see if you laughed before they decided how much they were joking.
Political compass memes or something?
A lot of those “both sides” or “free speech” subs are really just right wing with a mask on
Haha lol that’s a right wing memesub that’s barely in the top 1000. Sure I’m still interested to see examples that they advocate for genocide against the Chinese even there, but it already goes to show the accusation that there’s a lot of it happening on mainstream subs is just a big fat lie
