Hasan Piker on AOC voting to send Iron Dome missiles to Israel

Positions on funding Israel continues to be her weakest and worst takes. But that's a common L for Congress.

He should have ended that sentence after the third word.

In my opinion, we shouldn't be supporting Israel in any shape or form. It's on the Israeli government to stop what its doing and make moves towards peace so no missiles are launched.

AOC's comment on her vote

No it cuts off "defensive" weapons. Which do not exist under international law. According to international law all weapons to Israel should be banned.

Op is simply doing Republican jobs for them. AOC is quite clear in her reasoning and op still wants one of the most progressive people in the house out.
Not convinced theyre not rooting for Republicans. Noting but BS posts the past couple days, minimum.

This seems pretty divisive in American politics for multiple reasons

Yeah the division is between people supporting genocide and people not supporting genocide.
- Must suck for non genocidal democrats who have no option but to ignore this next year during campaigning; logically realizing they must minimize these issues to help fight against the worse Republicans

Killing civilians is never okay. It is not okay when Israel does it to occupy more land. And it is not okay either when Hamas does it to stop that. If we think it's okay for one side, then they just get on the same level.

Hamas targets military bases not civilians. Get out of here both sidesing a genocide.
- Get out of here ignoring civilians and spreading lies just because they're living in the wrong county. Sorry not sorry that I do not only care for Palestinian civilians but also for Jewish ones.
You would have condemned the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

AOC voted against an amendment to the bill for removing the sending of arms to Israel. That’s a fact in the public record.
