Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a US representative, said on Wednesday that she will oppose any future US military aid to Israel, including for defensive systems.
In a statement on social media, Ocasio-Cortez said that Israel was fully capable of funding “Iron Dome and other defensive systems”, and that “consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and US law”.
Her remarks on Wednesday follow reports that she pledged to oppose any future military aid to Israel during a New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) forum on Tuesday evening.
“Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act”, Ocasio-Cortez added, referring to a law which prohibits the US from providing military support to army units that violate human rights.
According to City & State, which obtained a partial recording of the DSA forum, Ocasio-Cortez told members: “I have not once ever voted to authorize funding to Israel, and I will never,” adding that “the Israeli government should be able to finance their own weapons if they seek to arm themselves.”
You blueMaggots are why Trump won in 2016 and 2024.
No, I voted against him while you threw your vote away. Everything that is happening now is your fault.
RemindMe! 31 months
RemindMe! 79 months
If you didn’t advocate for a better candidate or for the candidate to adopt better positions, you did the work to get Trump elected.
That’s a big “if” that you don’t know the answer to.
What was your rationale for not voting for Harris on Nov. 5? To teach us all a lesson?
Did you advocate for a better candidate or for the candidate to take a better position? If so, please show the class.

You have no idea what I did or didn’t do. But even a cursory view of your comment history shows that you are an avowed blue-Maga zionist, who worked tirelessly to ensure the DNC remained pro-israel.
The state of the country: Its your fault and its how all of history will remember you. You are why Trump won, because you wouldnt demand better. The genocide in Israel the the US funded, Kids in Cages, Totalitarian police states: You are completely fine with all of that as long as the Blue team is winning.
And thats the difference. I oppose those things regardless of which team is promoting them. And this is written at this point. The whole world knows you for what you are now and your side lost any semblance of control of the narrative when your masks slipped in 2024. Your just a fascist in a blue hat.

Not a zionist, just #1 apologist for zionists. And getting like, top ranks in the modlog for being a zionist.
Gottit blueMaggot. Anything else you want to put on the record?
You have no idea how any of us voted and it’s absurd to assume.
