"I oppose Nazi offensive weapons. I only support Nazi defensive weapons." AOC has said that Israel is committing genocide. Why should a genocidal state be entitled to self-defense if we accept this ridiculous framing? Complicit dog.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…

IOF soldiers are now taking their official photos with their backs turned. Because they know. We know. They will be held accountable. The day of reckoning is coming
