‘AOC funds genocide in Gaza’: Anti-Israel activists vandalize Ocasio-Cortez’s NY office
|
[IsraelTimes] Democrat defends voting against amendment to cut funding for Israeli air defenses, vows to keep pushing ‘to cut flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide’
Anti-Israel activists in New York on Monday said they vandalized the Bronx office of Democratic US Representative Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal , though she doesn't talk about it much anymore
, one of Israel’s leading critics in Congress.
The anti-Israel protest group Decolonize This Place posts photos showing red paint, reminiscent of blood, splattered on Ocasio-Cortez’s office, and a sign that reads, "AOC funds genocide in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Decolonize This Place said the vandalism was an "anonymous submission"
…an interesting locution… from a group called the Boogie Down Liberation Front. The group does not appear to have any protest history or online presence. Police confirmed the vandalism to the local NBC4 news outlet.
In a statement shared with news hound Ashoka Jegroo, the Boogie Down Liberation Front said, "The Bronx is sick and tired of people like AOC and Ritchie Torres using us as a stepping stone for their own political careers," referring to another Democratic representative who is a staunch supporter of Israel.
Anti-Israel protesters have repeatedly vandalized the offices of elected representatives and other perceived supporters of the Jewish state in New York.
The vandalism appeared to be a response to Ocasio-Cortez voting last week against a Congressional amendment to cut funding for Israel’s air defenses. The amendment was sponsored by US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right Georgia Republican who has previously advocated against US funding to Israel, and separately by Representative Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side. She is a member of The Squad, and would like to make the country look a lot more like Mogadishu...
, a Minnesota Democrat who is one of the fiercest critics of Israel in Congress.
"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," Ocasio-Cortez posted on X last week. "What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Paleostinians to continue."
"I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established."
She also said she would "remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza."
The amendment was struck down by a vote of 422-6. In addition to Omar and Greene, Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
Al Green of Texas, Rashida Tlaib
 ...the very first ever Paleostinian-American ever sworn into Congress in 2019. She is a member of The Squad and consistently votes against the U.S. national interest. She's a Dem, naturally, from a safe district you wouldn't want to live in (Michigan's 12th congressional district). She wants the country to be kinda like Gaza only without any Jews for neighbors...
of Michigan and Summer Lee of Pennsylvania also supported it, as well as Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who opposes all foreign aid.
The overall Department of Defense Appropriations Act passed Friday with a vote of 221-209, allocating $832 billion in defense funding for 2026.
Ocasio-Cortez is part of the "Squad" of progressive politicians that includes Omar, Tlaib and Lee and often votes with them. Her vote against the bill reignited criticism from another frequent ally, the Democratic Socialists of America, which wrote in a statement Saturday that promoting any aid to Israel is "unacceptable."
"An arms embargo means keeping all arms out of the hands of a genocidal military, no exceptions. This is why we oppose Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’[s] vote against an amendment that would have blocked $500 million in funding for the Israeli military’s Iron Dome program," the DSA said in a statement.
Last year, the DSA pulled their endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez after she hosted a panel on antisemitism that the group said "conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism and condemned boycotting Zionist institutions."
In 2021, Ocasio-Cortez also faced backlash for another Iron Dome-related bill. After successfully lobbying for the removal of $1 billion in funding for the defensive system, in a stand-alone vote to reallocate the funding, Ocasio-Cortez voted "present" and it passed 420-9.
In a statement responding the backlash at the time, Ocasio-Cortez wrote that while she had opposed the bill, the decision by House leadership to rush the vote created a "tinderbox of vitriol, disingenuous framing, deeply racist accusations and depictions, and lack of substantive discussion on this matter."
