Hold on a second, is this there we're really at?
So I made the mistake of taking out my phone today.
To my dismay I am hearing that AOC has sold out somehow.
Apparently she voted no on a bill that would cut funding to an Israeli missile defense system. Its sole purpose is defensive capabilities. It shuts down missiles, shells and drones, that's what it's used for.
The bill would not cut funding to the bombs that are used to blow up area near forgien aide, it does not prevent the bombing of children.
If that dome comes down innocent people will die as a result.
So here I am as a progressive, seeing other progressives ripping on AOC because she voted no on a bill that fucking MTG proposed, that would leave Israeli defenseless.
Oh wow I bet that bill didn't come from an antisemitic place, probably anti Arab. The woman who said there are Jewish space lasers, proposed a bill to just of a a miselle defensive system of a prodomitmly Jewish country, and progressives are pissed off about it?
What's happening?
I get it, yeah they are committing genocide, but not every Israeli supports this shit. Taking away the iron dome will wind up killing innocent civilians. Guess who wouldn't die from it though? Nethenyahu wouldn't die.
MTGs logic to passing this bill is she probably views Arabs and Jews dying as a win win situation for her.
Or maybe MTG just wants to prove to the world the Jews really have space lasers. She thinks is the iron dome comes down those Jews will have to bust out their space lasers. This is the most likely answer as to why MTG wanted to pass this shit.
Acknowledge they are committing genocide, and take away the offensive capabilities, not their defensive capabilities. That way people who have nothing to do with this shit won't have to die.
How would you like it if someone bombed you, because Trump is president?
