okay.... so why not vote for the amendment to cut off Iron Dome? or is her "worry" that with Iron Dome cut off in the bill, more of the House will vote to continue the bill which still includes munitions flow - to which she is against?
i'm being very charitable to her, but that seems to be what she's arguing?
edit: she voted no on the full bill. a lot of people are being very bad-faith in this thread.

She's openly admitting she supports sending weapons to Israel so Israel can continue to commit genocide. Nothing less.

My charitable take: Her worry is that in the event of Iron Dome funding being cut off, Israel would run a massive propaganda campaign blaming AOC specifically for every death in Israel.
However, If she truly believes what she says, I think she's being very naive. The Iron Dome allows Israel to confidently bomb its neighbors without having to worry about consequences. No one is attacking Israel out of the blue (yes, that includes October 7th). Event the recent "war" with Iran was started by Israel.
The best defensive measures that Israel could take:
- Stop its apartheid and give every citizen equal rights
- Stop committing terror in the region (i.e. blowing up entire apartment buildings to kill one target, murdering all of the top scientists in a given country in their sleep, blowing up pagers of innocent doctors and surgeons in other countries, etc.)
- Surrender its current and former leadership to the ICC and allow them to face trial for their war crimes

Why would Israel only blame her specifically and not MTG and the others? Even as a charitable take it requires her to be some sort of lone warrior who is a bit unwilling to become a political martyr and yet this couldn't be further from reality.
If anything wouldn't that also be very good for her record e.g "Yes I single handendly voted against the genocide bill(s), yes I'm different, vote against me if you dare." Isn't that the whole point? Nah the point here is her complete cowardice to take an independent or even anti-dem stance.
Also goes without saying she continues to show lack of political instincts, now more than ever in July 2025 if you tell the average American "oh no the Iron Dome was cut off and some setter died" most people are likely to respond with "yeah, good. So anyway about [insert ICE or cost of living here issue here]"

Yeah, for the record, I'm with you. My "charitable take" was more me trying to reverse engineer her worldview. But her worldview makes almost no sense sometimes.
Lately I've been honestly leaning towards "AOC is controlled opposition for the next generation of voters." I don't understand how she's the face of "the squad" but goes against the rest of them so often on these crucial issues.
Why would Israel only blame her specifically and not MTG and the others?
I do think that Israel has it out for the progressive wing of the Democratic party more than anyone else. I think they would center it around "the squad wants Jews to die." They've gone after Ilhan for less.
