AOC Faces Backlash, Vandalism After Voting Against Cutting US Aid From Israel’s Iron Dome - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

UNITED STATES CONGRESS, JUL 21 – Ocasio-Cortez opposed a $500 million amendment to block Iron Dome funding, drawing criticism from progressive groups who argue US aid enables Israeli military actions against Palestinians.

  • By a vote of 422 to 6, the US House rejected Greene’s amendment, with Ocasio-Cortez voting no, to block $500 million from Israeli Cooperative Programs.
  • Greene’s amendment aimed to cut Iron Dome funding, following a July 11 Israeli strike on Gaza’s Holy Family Catholic Church that killed at least three people.
  • The Democratic Socialists of America said it was “deeply disappointed” after her Bronx district office was defaced Monday with red paint and anti-Israel messages, prompting a 911 call.
  • On Monday afternoon, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, `If you’re saying I voted for military funding, you are lying,` and argued the amendment would cut Iron Dome capabilities while allowing bombs killing Palestinians to continue.
  • This divide underscores ideological tensions within the Democratic Party, as Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., backed Greene’s amendment.
