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.

AOC supports BLM terrorists here.

Not surprising that she supports PLO terrorists there.

I have a hunch Israel doesn’t really “need” US Arms, but it spends the money to keep certain things “state of the art” but more importantly, to maintain ties and connections to the US military, and the deep state.

What I will never understand is why Jewish people continue to vote Democrat and regard ones like “The Squad” as celebrities.

Can’t blame her. Israel pays for it with our money-military aid. It’s welfare for the defense industry.

AOC doesn’t understand how toast works, so this is no surprise.

What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.

Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. …

— Karl Marx
Their messiah made this declaration about 1½ centuries ago. Understand the left’s contempt a bit better? Marx literally said that destroying Judaism (as he saw it) would advance the cause of the “proletarian revolution”.
