1. She is crazy, but the immigration problem needs a solution.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.27.18)
Both Ocasio-Cortez and Trump don't know what to do while the US has an internal battle on its body.
2. Stupid is as stupid does
Irgun ,   Heart of Israel   (11.27.18)
Please tell me I'm living in a world inhabited by idiots, and this is just another day, because otherwise, people are in for a shock if they believe we have an intelligent population, and the politicians seem to be daft as wood, no, it does a disservice to wood, which would provide a far more indulging and intellectually stimulating conversation...

This person is a class act moron.

There is no moral equivalency to the Shoah, and seriously, stfu because your perversion with seeing the due mortification ascribed to the horrors of the Shoah, as something to conquer and make your own, is disturbing. There is no comparison, nor analogy, even in the remote. History is replete with considerably more apt examples.

Stop hijacking the memory of the dead, and given your comments in the past about the Arabs in closest proximity to Israel, under the guise of a unique identity, which somehow shares a language and religion in common with pretty much everyone else in the region (but never-mind that), you should seriously refrain from comparing anything to Nazi Germany. Leave that to serious scholars.

Am Israel Hai
3. Democrat party is staggeringly stupid and corrupt
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.27.18)
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's comparison of illegal migrants with Holocaust Jews is staggeringly stupid. It is truly frightening that someone so dumb is making important decisions for America. Ocasio-Cortez is also Anti Israel and Anti America, which is normal for today's Democrat Party.

On top of the stupidity and malevolence, the Democrats are also corrupt through and through. Countless incidents of election fraud emerged from the mid term elections. In every SINGLE case, the fraudsters were Democrats. They are likely setting the stage for the 2020 midterms, where they are going to try their damned best to steal the presidency. Hopefully, America will rise to the defense of their nation, end the Democrat plots and send the guilty to prison for a very long time.
4. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (11.27.18)
It is better to remain silent and let people assume you are an idiot than to talk and say stupid things and to remove all doubt !
5. OCASIO -CORTEZ IS A MORON
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.27.18)
Many of the caravan migrants trying to enter the Unted States are indeed unfortunate but they are not Holocaust Survivors and Ms ocasio-Cortez has made a massive fool of herself by making this unfortunate and insane comparison.
6. SNOWFLAKE ALERT !
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.27.18)
7. Is she more pathetic than stupid, or the other way around?
(11.27.18)
Actually makes no difference, since her followers are both!
8. Stupid woman
Phoenix   (11.27.18)
That caravan it’s full with criminals that want new grounds in the US.
Stupid comparison!
9. Right-wing zealots need to CHILL. Octavio-Cortez is fine.
Rafi ,   US   (11.27.18)
So what?... she made an APPROXIMATE comparison...

Do YOU know the details of what the Honduran & Guatemalan refugees have endured? What about the genocidal wars by right-wing regimes in Central Amer against indigenous peoples?

Surprise, surprise... Jews don't have a monopoly on suffering.

Like Bibi, the heredi, and other fanatics, you folks are geniuses are creating enemies where none existed previously...

Your ideal is to make Israel a modern, walled-in ghetto with you railing in self-righteousness against the world.
10. SHE SHOULD KEEP HER DAY JOB AS A BARISTA IN NYC.
oleg ,   Florida   (11.27.18)
STUPID IS STUPID DOES. ANOTHER LEFTY COMMI. THAT IS AN EXPERT OF JEWS AND ISRAEL. GO AWAY PLEASE
11. SHE IS THE NEW MOUTH OF LEFTY GEORGE SOROS!!!.
oleg ,   Florida   (11.27.18)
A NEW EXPERT ON THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE JEWS. THE NEW FACE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THAT OUR LEFTY JEWS LOVE AND SUPPORT. GOD HELP US ALL.
12. She is trivializing the Holocaust
Isaac Storm   (11.27.18)
She is trivializing the Holocaust - that is why her statement is an affront. Second,the UNHCR exists now. If there are those from Central American who may be claiming asylum status - they have to seek it at the first country that they come to that it can be offered; in this case, Mexico. They wouldn't qualify for asylum in the US for that reason. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez as a lawmaker should know that.
13. A product of Boston University
DSM ,   USA   (11.28.18)
Your pet rock ( remember them ) is smarter.
14. How did that tabula rasa actually swing a seat in the House?
Cameron   (11.28.18)


15. Calling her stupid is an insult to stupid people
David ,   New york   (11.28.18)
Really really dumb
16. God Save the Queen& help America, for they're doomed!
(11.28.18)
17. She is a FOUL ANTISEMITE !!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.28.18)
Like the rest of the American leftists...
18. neither ill will nor ignorance nor stupidity have a cure
C   (11.28.18)
ocasio-cortez is a pseudo-marxist supporter of islamists and of open borders.

she is an ally of farakhan who called jews termites.

this woman is an ideologue who has no knowledge of history, and in particular of the holocaust.
she is too stupid and ignorant to understand that during wwii, six million
jews were murdered by the nazis and their european collaborators.
she dares to compare this unimaginable catastrophe to border
riots by migrants.
ocasio-cortez has no place in the united states congress. she was
elected democratically, so she has the right to stay.
19. moishe rabeynu
moishe   (11.28.18)
shows you the quality of US elected people.
20. Solution for South American migrants -
barbara ,   Haifa   (11.28.18)
Any and all sympathetic Americans should adopt groups of these migrants;
let them live with you, eat your food, take your clothes, your job, your house.
Especially the Democratic Party yakking and complaining about Trump's
decision to not let them into the USA.

As for Ocasio-Cortez's remark about Israel / Gaza conflict - why is she so interested in this specific item - why not the Syrian crisis of the last several years that killed hundreds of thousands civilians (and children) ?

Guess we can come to the conclusion that she is definitely biased.
21. Mr
Abi ,   London   (11.28.18)
What happening in the Democratic Party in the USA did happen in the UK Labour Party it became nasty Antisemite Party
22. Democrats were government in WWII
Yosi ,   Jerusalem   (11.28.18)
She has the chutzpah to speak. Roosevelt was a Democrat and known antisemite. No matter who begged him, he refused Jews any help. Even returned Jewish refugee ships back to the Germans, just like England.
23. Ocasio-Cortez
lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (11.28.18)
Fairly obvious that education has passed her by/
Not to understand that extermination is a little different from any economic hardship...but then pandering to the Democratic Party hinterland is far more important to this rather pathetic and silly member of Congress.
Np wonder politicians are viewed with suspicion and incredulity for their blatant and ignorant bias.
24. Mr.
Natan Hazel ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.18)
Ms. Occasio Cortez has some nerve to compare Caravan Migrants who are coming for economic reasons to Holocaust Survivors. She especially has no right to reference or talk about the Holocaust since most Holocaust Survivors detest and don't respect her after having called Israel's killing 60 Hamas terrorists a Massacre and calling Israel Occupiers! Her evil propaganda is what causes such disasters as the Holocaust especially when one blames Israrl unfairly and accusing us of occupation and oppression when Israel is only Jewish State which was constantly oppressed and murdered because of such people and talk as made by Ms. Cortez!
