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.”

It’s not hard to get to the modlog for your account. It’s kinda one of the perks of being in the fediverse.
There’s a reason you’ve been labelled a Zionist so many times.
I don’t know about modlogs. But I do know that if people like me are being labeled “zionist”, then the term has lost as much meaning as “antisemitic” at this point.
Its in the side bar. If you are on desktop its a blue button labeled “Modlog”.
Thanks. Yeah I got myself banned from all the tankie communities lol
I mean, you being a fascist apologist, I hope you are banned from far more than just tankie communities.
I’m not and I haven’t been. Go tattle some more.
Who am I tattling to fascist? I’m taking your words and categorizing them based on the things you say.
Calling me a fascist doesn’t make me one. Your accelerationism is what brought us fascism. You’re clearly ashamed of this and you lash out at anyone who reminds you.
Saw a bunch of sinophobia in there, too. What a fun account you’ve got going on lol

This is what a mod labelled you when they banned you from their community.
I already had a sense of the kind of person you are from your comments here alone. The mod notes simply confirmed it.
I see now. Yeah anyone who sees that will see it was hexbear and know what’s up
