Asked why she attended the October 8, 2023 pro-Palestine Times Square rally, New York congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier said because she believed Israel’s response would be “disproportionate and create a greater loss of life.” “That is what I was there to stand against.” By the end of October 8, 2023, Israel had already murdered 413 Palestinians and wounded between 2,200 and 2,300 others in indiscriminate retaliatory airstrikes across the Gaza Strip.

🚨 Darializa Avila Chevalier went to a Hamas victory rally the day after October 7. While hundreds of hostages were in Gaza and Israel was still identifying the murdered. She says she went because she “knew” Israel would overreact. Yesterday New York Democrats nominated her for Congress. Disgusting.

Jon Favreau, former Obama speechwriter and co-host of Pod Save America said he has “a problem” with Democratic congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier because she “has not apologized for attending an anti-Israel rally on October 8th.” By the time Avila Chevalier attended the October 8 rally, over 413 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza. The Israeli military had struck 426 sites across the Strip, according to official Israeli figures, and more than 2,200 Palestinians had already been wounded. Favreau went on to characterize Avila Chevalier’s views as ranging from “moronic to abhorrent.” 🎥 "This Is Gaza" by Channel 4 News followed Palestinian journalist & filmmaker Yousef Hammash during and immediately after October 7.

The co-chair of the DSA says she would have attended a pro-Hamas rally on October 8th. 3 years in, and the fiction of “freedom fighting” lives on. Hamas is an Islamist group that committed October 7th to establish a theocratic state under sharia law in place of Israel. There will be no more gaslighting about who the DSA are.

Darializa for Congress This is the rally that Darializa for Congress led on October 8 celebrating the slaughter of innocent civilians, men, women, and children. She never apologized for it, because she is a bigot and an antisemite.

Congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier said she “deeply regrets” tweets she posted between 2018 and 2022 attacking establishment Democrats. “This is me taking accountability, and I’m happy to model accountability,” she said during a #NY1Debate. “And I also must ask that my opponent be accountable to his own record.”

Offended by a song, Brad Schimel suggested God would kill thousands of people at a Bernie Sanders rally: “I would have been running for the door as fast as I could because I’d be afraid that the God of the Old Testament would be back and that roof’s coming down on all of them.”

On CNN, I reminded Christiane Amanpour: the last time I sat in this studio on 7 October 2023, I warned this would be used as a pretext for a far broader assault by Israel on the Palestinian people — that we risked #genocide. I warned Palestine was becoming a testing ground. Today, that test is unfolding before the world. Watch the full interview:

Joe Scarborough looks visibly sickened as he hears DSA co-chair Megan Romer say October 7th was "largely inevitable" and admit she "probably would have" attended a pro-Hamas rally the day after the massacre. Even MSNBC couldn't stomach this one. SCARBOROUGH: "The co-chair of the DSA supported going to a pro-Hamas rally the day after Hamas gleefully slaughtered more Jews on October 7th than any day the Jews were slaughtered since the Holocaust." "This would be like going to a pro-al-Qaeda rally on September 12th, which I'm sure many people in the DSA would say, 'Well, that would be perfectly fine.'" Joe Scarborough left the GOP over Trump in 2017. Nine years later, he's admitting his own side is full of people who would call a pro-al Qaeda rally on September 12th "perfectly fine." You have to wonder what's going through this guy's head right now.

During a UN press conference, Francesca Albanese (Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt) was asked whether October 7 had been a “game-changer.” “I think that what happened on October 7 is to be told for what it was… military bases attacked and… [separately] crimes were committed against Israeli civilians by Palestinian armed groups, but also, as mounting evidence demonstrates, by the Israeli army,” she said. “What I think has been a game changer is the genocidal intent that has transformed a settler-colonial apartheid regime into a genocide, and this started on October 9.” Albanese described the total siege imposed that day—cutting off food, water, medicine, and fuel—as the moment Israel’s genocidal intent became unmistakable. “So for me the 9th of October 2023 was a game changer,” she said.

Colorado (R) Governor candidate Victor Marx questions why it took the IDF Military more than six hours to respond on October 7.. was there a stand down order? “I can’t say that I fully trust the leadership of a government that waited 6 hours, 6 hours to send reinforcements. It’s a 20 minute flight by helicopter. It’s a 45 minute drive to send troops down there…” He stated that he personally witnessed atrocities during the attack (both sides) and agreed that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza constitutes genocide. Marx was there in Israel because he said he was invited into Israel after October 7 to help assist women and children casualties of the war. Clip Full Interview

Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) pushed back on criticism from primary challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier that his campaign donations from pro-Israel supporters influence his positions. "No one tells me how to vote, but my constituents," Espaillat said. “The difference between her and I is that I believe in a two-state solution, and she doesn't believe in the existence of Israel."
