"In the United States of America, Christian fundamentalism and nationalism — which has also been extremely anti-Semitic — has also aligned itself with some of the most right-wing and authoritarian and inflammatory powers in the region."
"The country that is Israel today is not the Israel of the Bible," said Ocasio-Cortez.
"The country that is Israel today was established in this century."
