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”.

    I don’t even understand people being angry at her, it might be cutting some funding, but it’s literally still sending funds to Israel for use in continuing genocide. Any money sent is too much. Why do people think she should have voted to send money to them for continuing the slaughter. I do not understand.

      AOC voted against the amendment which cut all funding from Israel. She did the opposite of what you claim.
