Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) faced criticism from a political party she aligns with over her participation in a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City.

The rally, organized by the city's Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) just a day after Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, aimed to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

However, AOC's remarks at the rally didn't sit well with the DSA. She spoke out against hatred and antisemitism, emphasizing the importance of unity and rejecting both Hamas' attacks and the injustices faced by Palestinians under occupation.

In response to the criticism, Nadia Tykulsker, a member of the NYC DSA's steering committee, explained that the rally was organized at the request of a coalition partner. The DSA's belief in equality and justice for all Palestinians and Israelis motivated their involvement.

Tykulsker also acknowledged that continued warfare would claim more lives. It is worth noting that one of the key defense systems Israel utilized to protect its citizens from Hamas' rocket attacks, the Iron Dome, received partial funding from the United States, although this decision was met with opposition from AOC and other left-wing members of Congress.
