AOC has rejected all AIPAC money. Of course they could run dark money ads for her anyways but, if you think that's likely to happen, you are delusional.

still approved the sale of weapons to a genocidal regime

Every foreign policy decision has ramifications that go far beyond the immediate. Israel isn't going to not have a missile defense shield so, if they don't get it from us, they will get it from someone else. Maybe Russia, China, or Europe. How does that shake out on the world stage?

Just to clarify again because I'm sure it's necessary, I do not approve of sending any aid to Israel. I just don't think that disagreeing with me automatically makes someone a genocide apologist. The world isn't that simple.

I guess we have no choice then participate in genocide. Good analysis comrade.

Maybe Russia, China

What makes you think these should be included in this list?

I don't care. You're going on my block list.
