US Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is facing criticism for a Christmas message in which she compared Jesus to Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war. Critics argue that the comparison is inappropriate and invokes historical charges against Jews. However, some defend Ocasio-Cortez, stating that her message did not reference the death of Jesus and that it is valid to compare Jesus' refugee family to refugees in Gaza, especially during Christmas. The controversy has sparked a heated debate, with some labeling Ocasio-Cortez's message as dishonest and defamatory, while others defend her right to draw parallels between Jesus' family and present-day refugees.

This is so dishonest and defamatory. Her message made no reference to the death of Jesus, and it is entirely appropriate to compare Jesus, Mary, and Joseph’s refugee family to refugees in Gaza, or anywhere, anytime but especially as we celebrate Christmas. https://t.co/GegwyTAME1
