In 2021, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) expressed her disapproval through tears when Congress voted to fund the Iron Dome, a missile defense system that has been credited with saving millions of lives, including both Jewish and Muslim, by intercepting over 10,000 rockets fired into Israel since October 7th, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Critics have taken to social media to highlight her reaction in light of recent events where the Iron Dome played a crucial role in protecting millions of Israelis from an Iranian attack. Some comments have accused AOC of preferring a scenario where more Israelis would have been harmed, labeling her actions as a stance against Israeli security and indirectly supporting antisemitism.
Remember this scene, when she cried that the US kept funding Israeli security, if @AOC had it her way, there would be less Jews in the world this glorious morning. Voting for her is a vote for antisemitism https://t.co/fvZ5NlQ5gy
