A group of progressive House Democrats led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) introduced a resolution aimed at blocking a $735 million arms sale to Israel.
The resolution is largely symbolic as Democratic leaders who support the sale are unlikely to give the legislation a vote and the window for lawmakers to force a vote to block the sale closes in a couple of days. But the effort underscores the growing divide among Democrats on Israel as a bloody crisis in Gaza continues.
“For decades, the U.S. has sold billions of dollars in weaponry to Israel without ever requiring them to respect basic Palestinian rights. In so doing, we have directly contributed to the death, displacement and disenfranchisement of millions,” Ocasio-Cortez in a statement announcing the resolution of disapproval. “At a time when so many, including President Biden, support a ceasefire, we should not be sending ‘direct attack’ weaponry to Prime Minister Netanyahu to prolong this violence.”

Please refrain from calling this stupid uneducated bartender girl a “Lady”. That insults every true lady, including lady bugs.
This dumb creature was elected by those who have even less brain capacity than she does. That says quite a lot about the minorities inhabiting NYC. Yet, every single time when this thing opens her big maw, she amply proves that even a totally ignorant idiot could become a leader for those who vote with their hooves.
Everyone take note. In a democracy, elected officials are representing those that voted them in. It’s not only that she’s crazy. She represents a large contingency of antisemites.
Not sick, evil!
Just goes to show how important local elections are. She beat Crowley by 3900 votes
She is not sick any more than Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Iran or all other terrorists are sick. By supporting the would-be genocidal murderers of Jews, R”L, she has self-identified as not sick, but evil.
If you voted for a democRAT, any democRAT then you are directly responsible for empowering Jew hatred and even the murder (R”L) of Jews. Wake up Yidden. Stop supporting these backstabbing democRATs!! Every single one of them will lie to your face when they need you (just like it says in Pirkei Avos) then they will throw you in the garbage when they’re done with you. We’ve seen this over and over and over again. Please don’t vote for any democRAT! Remember, every askin and every community organization has their own agenda. Most of the time their agenda is not necessarily the agenda of klall Yisroel. Maybe the askin has what to gain personally or through his business. Maybe the community organization is large and has a huge budget they need to cover in order to get a few dollars for this Yeshiva or that community organization that helps a few Yidden but the democRAT they support who promises them pennies will laugh at us Yidden when they turn on us. Look how quickly the democRAT Mayoral candidates switch sides. Each one is worse then the next. So far the only Mayoral Candidate who didn’t switch to the terrorists side is Curtis Sliwa.. I met him a couple of times over the past 15-20 years. He’s a mentsch and he always looks out for our community. Sliwa is probably the best of the bunch of Mayoral Candidates. New York needs a strong leader to pull it out of the grip of left-wing looney democRAT grip.
The Obama administration, at times, blocked arms sales to Israel. Apparently, the Obama administration did not approve of Israel’s response to the thousands of rockets that Hamas was firing at Israel.
It’s neither sick nor evil. It’s her opinion. An argument can be made.
How many of her constituents are here legally? How many of those dregs voted for her?
