Positions on funding Israel continues to be her weakest and worst takes. But that's a common L for Congress.

AOC voted against an amendment to the bill for removing the sending of arms to Israel. That’s a fact in the public record.

An amendment numbered 114 printed in Part A of House Report 119-199 to strike funding for the Israeli Cooperative Programs.

Yeah, shebcoted nay, but why? The automatic assumption for some here is that she likes dead kids and genocide and that might just not be true

"Maybe she has good reasons for materially supporting genocide!"

Let the mental gymnastics begin.

Elaborate way to say that .ml doesn't support genocide and you do.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

He should have ended that sentence after the third word.

No it cuts off "defensive" weapons. Which do not exist under international law. According to international law all weapons to Israel should be banned.

In my opinion, we shouldn't be supporting Israel in any shape or form. It's on the Israeli government to stop what its doing and make moves towards peace so no missiles are launched.

Op is simply doing Republican jobs for them. AOC is quite clear in her reasoning and op still wants one of the most progressive people in the house out.

Not convinced theyre not rooting for Republicans. Noting but BS posts the past couple days, minimum.

This seems pretty divisive in American politics for multiple reasons

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago

Yeah the division is between people supporting genocide and people not supporting genocide.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Must suck for non genocidal democrats who have no option but to ignore this next year during campaigning; logically realizing they must minimize these issues to help fight against the worse Republicans

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

You mean the strategy that just helped to cost them an election?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

No it's going to suck for the genocide Democrats losing their reelection because they wanted to support genocide.

Killing civilians is never okay. It is not okay when Israel does it to occupy more land. And it is not okay either when Hamas does it to stop that. If we think it's okay for one side, then they just get on the same level.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Hamas targets military bases not civilians. Get out of here both sidesing a genocide.
