Positions on funding Israel continues to be her weakest and worst takes. But that's a common L for Congress.
He should have ended that sentence after the third word.
AOC's comment on her vote
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.
This seems pretty divisive in American politics for multiple reasons
Yeah the division is between people supporting genocide and people not supporting genocide.
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
You mean the strategy that just helped to cost them an election?
No it's going to suck for the genocide Democrats losing their reelection because they wanted to support genocide.
The very same strategy that got them where they are.
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.
Hamas targets military bases not civilians. Get out of here both sidesing a genocide.
Get out of here ignoring civilians and spreading lies just because they're living in the wrong county. Sorry not sorry that I do not only care for Palestinian civilians but also for Jewish ones.
You clearly care for only Israel, this is like condemning an attack on the Nazis saving you care deeply for Jewish and German lives on nazi base camps. If you genuinely care for the oppressor as much as the oppressed, you are a failed human being
You don't care for either.
That's not true. It's genuinely heartbreaking to hear about all the shit that's going on, and I truly wish that people wouldn't suffer like that.
You only value Israeli lives shown by the fact that you think Israel should be able to murder Palestinians without retaliation. You even wish to protect Israeli military bases against retaliation.

Nice strawman, but no. Funnily enough most people in my irl surrounding argue with me because I stand against Israels cruel attacks on Palestinian civilians and they argue about self-defence and October attacks. And they say the same like that I "think Hamas should just be able to murder Israeli civilians".
It's bullshit either way. Just because I think it's horrible what Israel does and how they attack civilians doesn't mean I think it's good that Hamas also does that, and the other way around.
Hamas attacks military bases not civilians. Go educate yourself before both sidesing a genocide. https://youtu.be/Pt_1k7nSv1M
I see someone got banned for mentioning the hostages… so I don't have much to respond. But it's sad you don't care about war crimes if the right ones are doing it.
captured colonisers and IDF are not 'hostages'.
Consider watching the video and educating yourself.
You would have condemned the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
