By Avi Shafran - May 26, 2026 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter What an interesting past couple of weeks it’s been! Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitted that “anti-Zionism” is just repackaged anti-Semitism, and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani promoted aliyah! Okay, neither one did so blatantly, but they did so, all the same. When loony Texas Democratic congressional candidate Maureen Galindo expressed her intention, if elected, to turn a San Antonio ICE detention center “into a prison for American Zionists…,” among those condemning her words was AOC, who posted on social media that “This bigoted garbage and anti-Semitism should be nowhere near our politics.” “Anti-Semitism”?

Today, the word is used by Israel-haters to refer to the displacement of Arabs from Eretz Yisrael that resulted from those attacks. In the video, which has been viewed millions of times, an endearing elderly lady, Inea Bushnaq, leafs through faded family photos and, with a British accent, speaks about her family’s “expulsion” from their home by “Zionists” when she was nine years old. At the start of the video, a travel poster depicting Yeru
