A former youth organizer for New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been arrested after allegedly urging her 25,000 followers to “attack” a New York City high school because it has Jewish students.
“If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason … Lexus driving Israhell (sic) loving Zionisits (sic) all attend here,” the since-deleted post by Iman Abdul, 27, read, according to the New York Post.
On Thursday, Abdul shared a Google Maps screenshot of Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach, accompanied by a disturbing caption, noted The Post.
“They’ve all gone on ‘Birthright,’” Abdul, from Brooklyn, added in the caption, a reference to a program offering free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults.
The New York City Police Department arrested Abdul at her home on Friday, charging her with making a terroristic threat, acting in a manner injurious to a child, aggravated harassment, and making a threat of mass harm, according to The Post.
