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.”
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.
I told any one who would listen that Biden needed to be replaced/ not be the candidate in 2023. BlueMAGA insisted he be the candidate. All the polling, all the data said that we were going to lose the election in 24 with Biden as candidate. BlueMAGA refused to let go until it was practically too late, but the candidates brains had already melted out of their ears on a debate stage.
Did you call for Biden to step down as nominee from 23-24? Can you show me some examples of you making this argument?
Because otherwise I would have to assume you supported them as candidate, in which case, you are solely to blame for the outcome we received. This all could have been avoided if Biden would have made the correct decision to not run in 23.
Saw a bunch of sinophobia in there, too. What a fun account you’ve got going on lol
Removed by mod
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
