AOC’s office vandalized after recent House vote involving US aid to Israel
(www.theguardian.com)
A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.
The vandalism occurred after Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voted against a defense spending bill amendment authored by the Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia that would have eliminated funding for the system protecting Israel from missiles.
Her vote on Greene’s amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israel’s “eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people”.
The amendment was to cut $500m in interceptors to Israel from the bill
Because AOC specifically said she wants to keep the interceptors on the bill after she voted against the amendment.
