    What she’s saying is that she doesn’t want to give Israel more toys unless Israel goes broke spending all its money on toys (genocide)

      No she isn’t. She’s saying I won’t vote to give Israel any more funds because it has a lot of money. I understand why you believe your version, but I think it’s a false equivalency. Just because you say you won’t do something for reason X, it in no way implies that you will do it if X is removed.

      Maybe if you stated your personal opinion on US Taxpayer funding the Israel war machine, it might help.

      If not, it sounds like you’re just here to do a demo job on AOC.

        Okay so if Israel stops having a lot of money what happens?

          Great question. I suspect it won’t be able to fund it’s massive military build up any more, or it’s population will suffer - You know, like Trump just admitted when he said we cannot pay for Childcare because of war. I’d like think the Israeli government was reasonable and started to for peace instead of continuing the invade the region and continue it’s genocide.

          However, as I said before, what AOC said does NOT mean she’ll vote to give them money. I expect (hope) like most politicians, she is constantly reforming her position as new information becomes available.

          And I’ll also say again: maybe if you said what we were actually for instead of pursuing this naive “gotcha” on AOC.

            correct, she only voted to give them weapons and before iran entered the picture.

            She won’t if turbolibs jump in to defend her at every slight criticism. That why she’s only changed her position after getting blasted for it and her new position is still milquetoast
