She literally voted to keep sending weapons to Israel. I dont think NYers should vote her out but FFS what’s going on when Margaret Taylor Green is the sympathetic rogue in Congress and AOC is the faithful party follower?
Here’s her vote against the appropriations bill in full, including both the offensive and defensive weapons systems funding: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025212

MTG isn’t a sympathetic rogue, she’s a isolationist nationalist at her core. That is, any money leaving the country = bad. Just happens to align with palestinian interests on this specific topic.
She basically just does whatever Russia tells her to, and if there are no orders, she wanders around like the village drunk causing trouble. I don’t really know why she got involved in this particular thing, and maybe this sounds like raving paranoia, but I actually think her being set up to introduce an amendment which could be used to criticize leftist politicians for being “pro-genocide” no matter which way they voted on it is a moderately likely possibility. I mean, look at what’s happening, anyone who wants to do that with it is able to do a pretty effective job with it.
TBF, they were missiles for the Iron Dome defense system. They technically could be used offensively but I don’t think Israel is setup for that and it would be a very inefficient use of the tech.
The US taxpayer-funded missile system Israel uses to justify whatever offensive mission they want because they’ll never face retaliation. Regardless of your beliefs, the US has zero obligation to fund Bibi’s “defense,” arguably less so than their offense, and maybe a thinner security blanket would help them behave themselves.
The system that helps Israel defend it’s stolen land from the people they stole it from?
She voted to actively hinder Palestine’s ability to retaliate against their genociders?
There is no “defense” ability for Israel. To defend it is an offensive measure because it is an occupying force. They do not have the right to that land.

She’s also specifically antisemitic. The real kind, not the AIPAC definition.

Oh yeah, the Iron Dome “defense” system.

They could reduce the money they spent on offensive weapons and operations to buy the iron dome missiles.
This argument only makes sense if Israel could not otherwise afford to defend itself.
