AoC has been firmly and consistently on the right side of this issue. MTG’s amendment was just political theatre in service to her Russian patrons who would love to see Israel undefended and vulnerable. Iran is one of Russia’s closest allies. Russia excels at manipulating/buying foreign politicians.
It was Ilhan Omar’s amendment
I would also like to see Israel underfunded and vulnerable, because they are conducting a genocide and I would like it to stop - because I am not an inhuman monster
The Netanyahu regime in Israel is conducting the genocide, not the Israeli civilian/child populations that would be bombed. Trump’s regime is committing racially targeted atrocities here, not the US civilian population that largely oppose him. Adults must be able to differentiate between those.
Maybe if they didn’t have $500,000,000 of our money to build and maintain the most sophisticated self-defense system in the history of the world, as well as tacit protection from the worlds only military hegemon, they would stop murdering innocent children in like 8 other countries
Like they’d have to at least consider not murdering innocent Arabs and stealing their land if it turned out there might be consequences right?
