A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.

The vandalism occurred after Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voted against a defense spending bill amendment authored by the Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia that would have eliminated funding for the system protecting Israel from missiles.

Her vote on Greene’s amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israel’s “eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people”.

They have the right to defend themselves.

No, Israel does not. Jacobin, 2021: As an Occupier, Israel Has No Right to “Self-Defense”

The Palestinians meanwhile have not only the right to self-defense but also offense against their occupiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_right_of_armed_resistance
