        i have to assume that this is genuine since i don’t see anything funny about it.

        bernie insists the isreali main talking point: isreal has a right to exist and co-opts leftward fervor by lending his support to the party he doesn’t belong to.

        aoc voted against marjorie taylor green’s attempts to block the iron dome’s re-inforcements several times as well a voted for the resolution for redefining antisemitism to isreali benefit; include speaking out against the genocide.

        mamdani is not at the national level and cannot do anything about it.

          Not to mention that MTG wanted that funding redirected to the fascist bullshit she supports at the U.S. border. It’s interesting that Thomas Massie also voted in favor of this bill given he and MTG are part of the Thiel dark money “progressive” team along with hypocrites like Ro Kahnna, who pretend to support Palestine, yet hold investments in fucking Palantir.

            that tweet from aoc makes it clear that she values the lives of isrealis over gazans since she ignores the facts that 1) these weapons are going to the idf who doesn’t make a distinction between defensive and offensive where gazans are concerned and 2) the idf had re-appropriated weaponry from one use to the other.

            also: nice deflection in ignoring her vote on the definition of antisemitism w a tweet showing a half truth.

              Do you actually know what the iron dome is? Hint: it’s not a weapon.

              Coincidentally, given that you’re ignoring everything else about the proposal redirecting funding, and especially the dark money that’s also funding the person that created the proposal, do you know who just happens to be in the process of building a competitor to the iron dome? And who also would be receiving that redirected money through the government contracts one of his companies has with U.S. immigration customs enforcement? The same company that is providing Israel with the AI being used to carry out genocide.

              And yeah I do think it was a shitty thing for AOC to vote in favor of a definition that gives Israel too much protection, but it’s more than a bit of a stretch to call that greenlighting genocide, especially given what you’re criticizing her for not supporting.

              Pointing out the truth behind her not voting to stop funding going into the iron dome, given that the funding would be directed back to Palantir isn’t a deflection. It’s just the reality of what’s beneath the surface of the bullshit that you’re apparently falling for.
