Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezβs statement: Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue. I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established. I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.
I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greeneβs Israel amendment.
Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesnβt do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldnβt pretend it does.
My statement on it:
