Former AOC Staffer Arrested For Trying To Incite Attack On Jewish School

A former youth organizer for New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was arrested for urging her 25,000 followers to “attack” a high school in New York City because Jewish students attend it, the New York Post reported.

“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.

Abdul posted the screenshot on Thursday of Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach on Google Maps with the disturbing caption, the New York Post reported.

“They’ve all gone on ‘Birthright,’” the Brooklyn resident added in the caption, referring to a program that offers free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults, according to the New York Post.

The New York City Police Department arrested Abdul at her home 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, the New York Post reported.

Abdul worked on the Democratic primary campaigns of AOC and New York State Sen. Julia Salazar in 2018 and was a canvasser for Salazar, Salazar told the New York Post.
