NY Times: AOC will oppose ALL aid to Israel

Including defensive systems like the Iron Dome anti missile system. Part of the deal of being a leftist progressive I guess.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said Tuesday that she would vote against all U.S. military aid to Israel, including for defensive systems, a shift that underscores how opposition to the Israeli government has grown among various wings of the Democratic Party since the war in Gaza.

Speaking at a private, virtual forum with members of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was asked if her opposition to aid for Israel extended to its defensive systems.

The congresswoman said yes, according to her chief of staff, Mike Casca.

The forum was part of the Democratic Socialists of America’s endorsement process. The news outlet City & State previously reported Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks.
