Can any Leftist defend AOC and describe why we should vote against the Iron Dome?

[Smokin' OP]

Nobody is voting against it. They are voting against paying for it when Israel has been running budget surpluses for years.

Republicans want to cut spending on Americans, not israel.
Like you said, In January 2020, Israel’s state budget recorded a particularly surprising surplus of about 4 billion shekel ($1.16 billion).

Amazing how fiscal responsibility is all of a sudden front and center for idiot liberals when it comes to helping Israel defend itself.

Why are we helping a wealthy developed country with a top notch military and weapons systems defend itself?

Why are we helping a wealthy developed country with a top notch military and weapons systems defend itself?

Why are we helping a wealthy developed country with a top notch military and weapons systems defend itself?

Because we are Good allies. Israel gives us good intel and great research material.

Why are we helping a wealthy developed country with a top notch military and weapons systems defend itself?

The real reason?

Because Raytheon, the second largest federal defense contractor, is a major producer of critical components for Iron Dome. And they contribute a shit ton of money to congressional campaigns.

The thing that prevents Israeli children and innocents from being murdered.. AOC was literally crying that this defense can exist.

Why is there a leading Democrat that is sad that Israelis cannot be murdered by Taliban, Hezbollah, Al’ Queda, Iranian, or Palestinian terrorists??

can any leftist explain this??

Racist Jews in Israel regularly steal the land and water of non-Jews, enforce criminal occupations on the indigenous Palestinians, and then WHINE when their victims resort to a violent reaction. End the corrupt Zionist occupation of Palestine and the need for Iron Dome goes away.
