A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.
The vandalism occurred after Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voted against a defense spending bill amendment authored by the Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia that would have eliminated funding for the system protecting Israel from missiles.
Her vote on Greeneās amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israelās āeliminationist campaign against the Palestinian peopleā.
Yet here you are defending funding the iron dome. Weird that.
A missile is an offensive weapon. What do you think the iron dome is? Idiot.
Yet she defended funding the iron dome, which is giving arms to Israel.
Irrelevant to the point.
Irrelevant to the point. Youāre saying Russian civilians should die by saying you wouldnāt fund anything in Russia. You also said the same about Israel, so you also support killing Israeli civilians according to you.
Youāre saying German civilians should die because you refuse to provide Hitler with AA guns.
??? nonsensical.
āIf you believe neo-nazis are welcome and operating in good faith, you can have them!ā She said about people voting in favour of the amendment. She called Ilhan and Tlaib nazis.

You are an absurdly obtuse and disingenuous person.
Iron Dome funding is sending arms to Israel. Iron Dome protects Israel as it invades its neighbours and commits a genocide. Itās that simple.
You are defending a vote against stripping iron dome funding, accusing others of being in favour of killing civilians whilst trying to claim you also donāt support funding Israel. You canāt have it both ways. You support killing of civilians with your own stupid fucking rhetoric, but you want to dance around the issue and pretend you arenāt doing what you are in fact doing.
You are genuinely a fucking moron. I said nothing about Dresden or dropping nukes. You are literally advocating for sending AA guns to Hitler by equating and reducing all forms of military response as being one and the same as mass murder of civilians to suggest itās legitimate to support funding for the Iron Dome as ādefensiveā.
No, it protects Israel regardless of whether Israel is committing genocide. But all of that is beside the point.
Iām not defending the vote so much as pointing out that it was a meaningless vote. Thereās nothing to defend or attack because the amendment is a non-issue. It was a meaningless political stunt by a racist conspiracy theorist.
Favour? As in British or Australian English? Youāre not an American voter? This seems like a pointless discussion then.
I donāt support funding for Israel. Itās an apartheid state and has committed genocidal war crimes.
You can if you see the nuance and not just look at everything like itās just so simple based on your first gut reaction.
No, I donāt. Quote me where I said I want civilians killed.
Youāre getting caught up in side issues. The issue is AOC voted against funding genocide in Israel. People are claiming she funded genocide by Israel. That is a provably false claim. It is a lie. Arguing over the amendment vote that didnāt matter is a distraction.
You were discussing the deaths of civilians. Those are historical events relevant to that discussion. Also, thereās no need for the ad hominems and name-calling.
Iām literally not. I was responding to your meaningless points that donāt matter because you brought them up, but you havenāt thought through all the implications. AA guns shoot down planes that have human beings in them. They arenāt the same as missiles that only shoot down other missiles.
All of these discussions about AA guns and Russian civilians are just bad analogies that ignore the context and the nuance. We can continue to discuss them if you like, but they have no bearing on whether the amendment vote was ever possibly going to have any functional or practical effect whatsoever.
If MTG brought up an amendment that said everyone gets to live forever and AOC voted against it, would you claim AOC is pro-death or would you recognize that MTGās proposal was a useless measure that shouldnāt be taken seriously?
But honestly, I donāt care. If youāre not an American voter, as I suspect you arenāt, thereās no value in convincing you of anything.
Just ignore the part where you kept suggesting the Iron Dome was ādefensiveā therefore itās OK and ānot a weaponā (lmao) therefore voting in favour of it would be legitimate.
Again, youāre just an obtuse moron twisting yourself into a pretzel pretending its nuance.
Youāre just not a serious person. Learn to shut the fuck up.
You know what you couldāve done with the time it took you to write this shit? Find a job.
Fuckin loser š
Oh no, a conservative boomer-grade insult! Should I get off your lawn too? Pull myself up by my own bootstraps? Invest in plastics?
You know what you can do?
spoiler
Put that energy into a mf job š
And if I have a job already? And if putting effort into a job isnāt mutually exclusive with commenting in an online forum, what then? Iām really interested in getting life advice from randos on the internet. Please help me. Youāre my only hope.

And Israel could leave Palestine (and Lebanon, and Syria, and stop attacking Iran). Youāre just a rank hypocrite who supports arming genocide
