    the weapons that were earmarked for the iron dome were used against the gazans and the iranians. it doesn’t matter what their stated purpose is like it doesn’t matter if you give full or partial political cover for genociders like aoc is doing; you’re still helping genociders.

      The iron dome is a fucking dome that keeps weapons fired from outside of Israel from entering Israel.

      It really doesn’t matter how you try to rationalize it. The funding would have gone back into the company that has enabled genocide to happen.

      You’re supporting something that was meant to redirect money to Peter Thiel, but disguised as somehow being helpful for Palestine because it was taking money from the Israeli defense shield that Peter Thiel is in the process of copying.

      It’s a fucking scheme. More money for Thiel/Palantir means more money for the campaign contributions and/or the investments of the hypocrites in congress (MTG, Massie, Kahnna, probably many more) that do his bidding by peddling this bullshit. AOC may be guilty of indirectly helping Israel avoid deserved criticism, but every time you fall for this dumb shit you’re being sold, you’re directly helping Peter Theil continue to enable the fucking genocide to happen. And since he continues to be so successful, it’s not stopping with Israel and Gaza. It’s spreading around the fucking globe like a disease. Congratulations 👏

        i agree that the money is either going back; one way or another; to either the military industrial complex or silicon valley and aoc is guilty of more than indirectly helping isreal avoid criticism.

        also: it is indeed spreading throughout the world and people like aoc are helping to make it happen under some (hopefully misguided) attempts to help genociders & capitalists do it.

        two things can be true at the same time.
