Hey @AOC, I’m always hopeful about you, but you keep on disappointing. In a recent radio interview you said (not for the first time) that there’s a high chance that you’re a Sephardic Jew and “that’s important because in Israel they are also targeting Jews of color” 
Hi, I’m Hen, an Israeli Jew of Color, not probably Sephardi, but actually. For @AOC to use ‘as a *probably* Sephardi Jew’ to defame Jews & Israel, proved that you have spent too much time with racist Jews like @IfNotNowOrg (which you referred to in the interview)& Neturi Karta.
No, @AOC, you can’t use your (‘probably’) Jew of Color identity only to weaponize it against the Jewish community. If you are not with us, supporting us & working with us, we do not need you to be our voice. We do not need you to use our pain to promote your anti-Zionist agenda.
Please don’t use and abuse Israeli Sephardi & Mizrahi community and our struggle as a tool to promote your, IfNotNow, Neturi Karta and other radical racist and bigoted voices that do not represent even 5% of the Jewish community.
She talks about it at 1:25:00 if you want to hear her words. @AOC's exact words were: "there’s a lot of stuff in my family history points to the fact that we were Sephardic Jews that fled the Spanish Inquisition and ended up in the Caribbean" omny.fm/shows/ebro-in-…
