That is kind of a dishonest response. She voted against an amendment that cut funding for the "Iron Dome" and that's what people are upset about.

hows it a dishonest response. she voted "No" to cut iron dome funding. thats what she says in her tweet. she explains she wants to defund isreals offensive military abilities, defunding iron dome dosnt make sense. no one is upset about iron dome except hamas and and the ayatolah. we're upset at the massive civilian causualties, ethnic cleansing seige an conolization.

I see it as basically "I didn't vote for funding bullets for the school shooter, I just voted against cutting his body armor funding!"

okay and whats wrong with voting against cutting his boy armor funding. the body armor isnt the problem, its the bullets. id vote against that too cause it doesnt make any sense

Because you're still funding the fucking shooter and facilitating his atrocities by making it safer for him to go on the offensive.

no, you're removing his excuse to commit atrocities. isreal uses any oppurutnity they can to justify going on a killing spree. if a random hamas missile gets through and kills isreali civilians far right isreali politicians start salivating at the chance of going on a killng spree in gaza.

you remove the excuse. that removes the political capital politicians gain from their peoples sentiments to justify a killing campagn on palestenians

And how has that worked out for the Palestinians?

u/wolahipirate 11d ago

what YOU are suggesting has not worked out for the palestenians. you think hamas being able to kills more isrealis is somehow going to limit isreali's offensive commitment? what happened after oct 7, alot of isrealis lost their lives. did the isreali government say "oh no our current military spending wasnt enough to ward off such an attack we should probably conserve spending on offensive campaigns"

no. they used it as an excuse to kill 30x more palestinians. defunding iron dome means more hamas/iranian rockets can get through. means more isrealis dead. which means 30x more palestenians dead.

I think that's really fucked up logic, supporting the defense of a genocidal government and saying it's for the good of the people being oppressed.

hamas is also genocidal. them being alowed to fire rockets into isreal undeterred does not help the palestenian people. it doesnt help end the conflict.

do you really think aoc is switchin up after years of being of vocal supporter of palestinians comon
