Dis gonna be good.
Not a fan of either. Ocasio-Cortez raises AIPAC ire over effort to tie Israel aid to annexation
Not a fan of either. Ocasio-Cortez raises AIPAC ire over effort to tie Israel aid to annexation
quote:
A dozen Democratic lawmakers have signed onto a hotly debated letter spearheaded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that calls for placing conditions on aid to Israel if it moves forward with plans to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO.
quote:
“Should the Israeli government continue down this path, we will work to ensure non-recognition of annexed territories as well as pursue legislation that conditions the $3.8 billion in U.S. military funding to Israel to ensure that U.S. taxpayers are not supporting annexation in any way,” Ocasio-Cortez’s letter reads. “We will include human rights conditions and the withholding of funds for the offshore procurement of Israeli weapons equal to or exceeding the amount the Israeli government spends annually to fund settlements, as well as the policies and practices that sustain and enable them.”
quote:
AIPAC said on Twitter it “opposes the letter being circulated by [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez] — co-signed by [Reps. Pramila Jayapal], [Rashida Tlaib] & [Betty McCollum] — which explicitly threatens the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that would damage American interests, risk the security of Israel & make a two-state solution less likely.”

It makes me laugh thinking of AOC demanding the military enforce her stupidity. She probably hates the military until she needs her for her dumb ideological nutcase ideas.

I’ve got AIPAC in this one.
Their pocket change is enough to cripple AOC.
Oh, and this:
Sounds an awful lot like a quid pro quo to me.

So it’s OK to withhold military funding to Israel, but impeach the POTUS for withholding funding to Ukraine(a lie). Amazing

I'm not the biggest AIPAC fan in the world, but they are one of the few checks on progressive insanity right now.

I'm not the biggest fan either, but I agree, these "hold the line" organizations look increasingly wise over recent months.
NRA is similar, for all its faults.

I don't think this going to play well with the pro-Israel lobby...Maybe she is an antisemitic. I have found the worst one's are from the east coast.

What’s interesting is roughly 90 members of Capital Hill have dual citizenship with Israel. Who’s interest are they really representing?

The United States shouldn't be giving foreign aid to anyone, Israel included. It's one big kickback and money laundering scheme.

Of course not. Too bad American Jewish Democrats don't care. Iran could nuke Israel tomorrow and they'd be lined up ten deep to vote for all these Democrats who are actively seeking the destruction of Israel.

AOC made the mistake of getting between AIPAC and money.
