What’s the vibe on this guy?

Oh. Well, that’s that then.

Bleh!
Personally I appreciate this kind of brutal honesty compared to all the histrionic pearl clutching going on by more "progressive" politicians.

AOC can generate the oofs as well:

Zionists and the broader pro-Israel right have well & truly poisoned the term "antisemitism" if you consider its proper use to be an "oof."

Literally everyone except the biggest edgelords thinks that attack was horrific. Saying "free Palestine" while flamethrowing some elder Jews marching for the release of hostages doesn't put you on our side.

I was wondering that myself. The Trump administration is equating Anti-Zionism with Anti-Semitism for grotesque political purposes. But the rise in actual Anti-Semitism is very real, and the return of hostages from fucking Hamas is a noble cause.

I think you answered your own question. At best AOC's post is pandering milquetoast fluff, at worst it's a concession to AIPAC talking points at a particularly awkward impasse.
