AOC launches into wild rant at anti-Israel protesters and calls them 'f***ed up' after they confront her at NYC movie theater and demand she calls Gaza military campaign 'genocide'

Left-wing 'squad' Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at an anti-Israel protester who confronted her and her fiancé at a Brooklyn movie theater demanding she call what's happening in Gaza a 'genocide.'

Pro-Palestine demonstrators ambushed Ocasio-Cortez and Riley Roberts outside the boutique theater Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. 

'You refuse to call it a genocide, I need you to understand that this is not okay,' the protester says.

'It's not okay that there's a genocide happening and you're not actively against it,' the protester adds.

A visibly frustrated Ocasio-Cortez - who has longed backed far left-causes and protests - yells in response: 'You're lying!'

'I already said that it was. And y'all are just gonna pretend that it wasn't. Over and over again. It's f***ed up man. And you're not helping these people. You're not helping them,' she says. 

'Why won't you say it in front of everybody, why us?' one responds. 

The protesters continue: 'If you can't say it, just say it. Literally. We're just talking to you like normal people. Just say it's a genocide. Just say it. Over 30,000 people are dead AOC, you can't just say it for once? Just say the word, that's it. That's all we want you to say.' 

Roberts tries to dissuade the protesters from continuing to follow her as they left the theater.

At one point, Ocasio-Cortez fumes the protestors are going to take what she says 'out of context' and have it go viral. 

Ocasio-Cortez, seen as the most prominent leftist in the House of Representatives, has been critical of Israel in the weeks following the October 7 Hamas terror attack that left 1,200 innocent people dead. 

She joined her fellow squad Democrats in the hours following the attack in calling for 'de-escalation and ceasefire' and has repeated those claims, slamming both Israel and Hamas and has described the IDF's military campaign as committing 'war crimes.'

Ocasio-Cortez was even slammed for her Christmas post that called Israel a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to the Palestinians. 

Posting on Instagram on Christmas Eve, AOC shared a photo of a child lying on a pile of rubble surrounded by wooden nativity scene icons. 

Accompanying the photo, the New Yorker wrote: 'In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.'

She went on to compare Jesus being hunted by King Herod to the 'right-wing forces' currently 'violently occupying Bethlehem.'

Her post sparked a fierce backlash online with some accusing her of 'Jew hate.'

Ocasio-Cortez's sympathies towards Palestinians were noted as early as 2019, her first year in Congress

She claimed that Palestinians have no choice but to riot against Israel - and agreed with a radio host that the country is 'criminal'.

AOC has faced sharp criticism of late as angry protestors have confronted her over Israel and, recently, at a town hall over New York City's migrant crisis.

AOC has faced sharp criticism of late as angry protestors have confronted her over Israel and, recently, at a town hall over New York City's migrant crisis.

Last month, she was interrupted by angry voters when presenting the benefits of the Green New Deal at an event in Queens.

One of the hecklers, Jonathan David Rinaldi, stood up while AOC was on the stage and announced that he was challenging Ocasio-Cortez for her congressional seat.

After becoming increasingly aggressive with other attendees the man was escorted out while shouting 'you only represent the illegal aliens.'

'They're giving the NYCHA apartments away, they're giving illegal aliens $10,000 a day… I want you to debate me AOC, debate me' he could be heard shouting in video of the meeting.

'Every single one of us is being sold out by people that have brought illegals here to vote,' he shouted.

However, he was soon drowned out by Ocasio-Cortez's supporters shouting 'AOC, AOC,' and clapping their hands.

Once the man had been removed, AOC addressed the rest of the audience.

'Clearly, this community – Astoria, Jackson Heights, also across the Bronx – clearly supports progressive immigration policies that welcomes all of our neighbors.'

'We clearly support a path to citizenship, we clearly support ending draconian immigration policies and that is why you all… support my representation of our community in Congress because we have had enough.'
