AOC’s office vandalized after recent House vote involving US aid to Israel
(www.theguardian.com)
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”.
She voted no on a bill that impacts the defensive capabilities of Israel, while doing nothing to help Gaza. That bill would have resulted in a net increase of civilian deaths.
Edit: reduction in iron dome stuff, the missile interceptors
