The former MLB star, Kevin Youkilis, called the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., after the legislator reacted to the attack on those who called for the liberation of Israeli hostages in captivity from Hamas to Boulder, Colorado, during the weekend.
Ocasio-Cortez wrote in an article on social networks on Monday that it was “horrified” by the attack.

“My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country,” she added. “Anti -Semitism is increasing here at home, and we have moral responsibility to confront and stop it wherever it exists.”
The double champion of World Series, who is Jewish, called Ocasio-Cortez and wondered what she had done to face those who called the Intifadas in New York.
“The Jews are targeted with violence and it is the same signal of virtue repeatedly,” he wrote on X in response. “What did you do to face those who call intifadas in New York? Until you create an action plan, your repetitive virtue signaling after violence supports no weight.”
Youkilis is best known for his time with the Boston Red Sox, but he played for New York Yankees in the last year of his MLB career in 2013.
When asked what he wanted the Democratic legislator to do, Youkilis replied: “Confront the radical crowds singing the intifadas in New York.
“It would be a courageous leadership, but we know that politicians, on both sides of the aisle, are emulated in the fear of losing votes and power.”
In the middle of chaos last year at Columbia University, Ocasio-Cortez called the anti-Israeli agitators on the “peaceful” campus. The message came while Jewish students were recommended to leave the house while the students were photographed with Hamas.
The FBI described Sunday violence as a “targeted terrorist attack”.

The increase in anti-Semitic extremism has fueled the wave of terrorist conspiracies in the United States since 2020
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was accused of having used homemade incendiary devices to light eight people on fire when they gathered to defend the return of Israeli Hamas captivity in a daytime attack at the Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall.
The videos represent a shirtless man, allegedly Soliman, standing in a threatening way and holding two other devices after the initial attack while passers -by filmed him. The authorities finally invaded the scene and he went.
Soliman arrived in the United States for the first time on a non-immigrant visa in August 2022. This visa expired in February 2023, but he remained in the country. He received a work permit from citizenship and immigration services from the United States in March 2023, valid until March of this year. He exceeded his visa again and was illegally in the country during the attack on Sunday.

The defenders gathered for a Run For They Lives event, a race / walking to raise awareness among Israeli hostages still in captivity of Hamas. The victims were aged 52 to 88, and one of them was in critical condition.
