People take this stupid bytch seriously she can run her mouth everything else

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The average person couldn’t even tell you tell you who she is and know way more about AOC.

Yep. But Jayapal is the leader of the progressive caucus not AOC. AOC has no power. Jayapal does.

Americans are ignorant. I dont blame anyone for that.

But when we have the info at our fingertips to inform ourselves, that's where the blame comes in. I learned all this just from spending a lil time googling one day and reading up on the progressives.

Sarah Silverman Calls Out AOC, The Squad for Opposing Iron Dome Funding For Israel — But With Inaccuracies

Comedian Sarah Silverman last week called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fellow “Squad” members over opposing U.S. funding for the Iron Dome, an air defense system in Israel that has saved countless lives from rockets fired into the Jewish state by Hamas and other terrorist groups.

While Silverman’s condemnation of The Squad when it comes to funding for the Iron Dome should be applauded, it’s worth noting her support does come with a lot of anti-Israel baggage that the American left tend to take as given facts.

The House of Representatives last week passed a bill that would give $1 billion to fund the Iron Dome. Ocasio-Cortez voted “present,” but later came out with a statement of apology and opposition to the bill, which came about shortly after progressive House Democrats stripped Iron Dome funding from a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the U.S. government and avoid a government shutdown.

“They need it,” said the comedian on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, referring to Israel and the Iron Dome. “None of them talk about Hamas. No one in The Squad is bringing up Hamas. I can’t, it’s so bizarre.”

So far, so good. But then Silverman took a wrong turn.

“Yes, the Occupation is not right. There cannot be justice in a place where there are people who have no freedom of movement,” she said. “But they elected Hamas.”

Silverman is correct in that Hamas was elected. In 2006 Hamas, which the United States formally considers a terrorist group, came to power in Gaza in 2007. Israel has not occupied Gaza since leaving and evicting its own citizens from there in 2005. Only Hamas is to blame for the problems in Gaza, where civilians are restricted from leaving. Israel has every right to defend itself and that includes not allowing people to come from Gaza into Israel and vice versa due to the potential security risks. This has been validated by the tunnels that Hamas has dug between Gaza and Israel so that Hamas terrorists can sneak into Israel and launch attacks against innocent civilians.

Calling out The Squad, Silverman asked, “Why do none of them even mention Hamas, a group that until just a few years had a mission statement that said kill all Jews?”

Hamas’s mission statement has not changed. Hamas has not stopped launching rockets from civilian areas, such as schools, in Gaza into Israel. Hamas still does not recognize Israel. A 2017 document that Silverman referred to is nothing short of window dressing and even Hamas has said that it does not replace its 1988 charter, which is essentially a second version of Mein Kampf, except that it not only targets Jews, but also the Jewish state, which was founded in the wake of the killing of six million Jews in the Holocaust.

The part of Hamas’ 1988 charter that Silverman referred to stated, “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”

The 2017 document reads, “Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.”

Except waging war on Zionism is waging war on the Jewish state, and therefore Jews. Martin Luther King, Jr. is reported to have said, correctly: “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism.”

Silverman mentioned that Hamas “congratulated the Taliban for taking over Afghanistan.” That was accurate.

But then, Silverman accepted another left-wing assumption, saying “Israel is not good for Palestine, but you are kidding yourselves if you think Hamas is good for Palestine.”

While Silverman correctly said that Hamas is not good for the Palestinians, Israel, which is the only true democracy in the Middle East, treats all of its citizens – Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc. – equally. Israel has a policy of allowing Palestinians to become Israeli citizens, but many, if not most, Palestinians have chosen not to. Granted, it is not easy for Palestinians to become Israeli citizens. Were the Palestinian Authority an ally, the process for Palestinians to become Israeli citizens would be easier.

“The whole thing’s just f***ing gross. But f***, it’s not simple,” said Silverman. “Please do not defund the Iron Dome.”

Yes, what The Squad and progressives did in stripping Iron Dome funding from the CR, in addition to most of The Squad and a handful of other far-left Democrats voting against the standalone bill to fund the defense system, was, to use Silverman’s words, “f***ing gross.” But, contrary to Silverman’s assertion, it’s simple: Voting against Iron Dome funding is a vote against America’s closest Mideast ally and for Israel’s adversaries including Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

“But just talking to The Squad here, you know, my family lives there. It just seems to prove the point that I didn’t think existed, which is people only really like Jews if they’re suffering,” said Silverman. “Dead Jews get a lot of honor.”

Silverman is spot on. Anti-Semites love nothing more than decreased Jews.

Nonetheless, she expresses her “love” for Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Squad members Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), calling them “cool” and “kickass” as she agrees with their domestic policies (which is a rebuttal article by itself).

However, she called the opposition of The Squad to Iron Dome funding as “really scary.”

“You make it hard,” continued Silverman. “Not having the Iron Dome is gonna kill people.”

Except it’s not hard. Silverman can stop supporting The Squad and those like them who are anti-Israel. Instead, she can support Democrats such as Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY), who share Silverman’s progressive stances on domestic issues but are also pro-Israel.

Silverman is right, ultimately, that without the Iron Dome, there would be a lot of dead innocent civilians in Israel.

not tryna hear anything from a woman who has pictures of her in blackface on the internet

I cant believe people care that much about this AOC shyt

 

[O.Red]

I can admit my own damn self that 70% of the time I've used macro/micro I was juelzing my ass off

 

[BunchePark]

Pelosi was going to turn her to a pack

What kinda pack?

 

[invincible1914]

The difference between how the Democrats treat the black community and the Jewish community is that the Jewish community will make it be known that there will be repercussions and will follow through if you don't vote along with them.

Jews and lgbt get bills and results

Black people get to vote and maybe the same stimulus check everybody else gets.

 

[Ozymandeas]

Which is totally fine, but don't say that you don't have the money to give your citizens but then turn around and scrap up the money to give to someone else. That's frowned up in all walks of life and politics/government dealings aren't any different.

Giving money to Israel is a need.

Giving money to Americans is a want breh.

Y’all gotta grow up and join us in the real world.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

You literally got Americans out here homeless and struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis one paycheck away from losing it all, yet you think giving money to them is a want

 

[Uno Venova]

focus your anger at a politician voting 'present' instead of the hundreds making and drawing laws taking away your rights brehs

 

[Ozymandeas]

You literally got Americans out here homeless and struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis one paycheck away from losing it all, yet you think giving money to them is a want

Yes breh.

I know you over 20 years old by this point.

You don’t need me to spell out that the government does not give a fukk about you.

 

[DaddyFresh]

I can't believe people are surprised by this. Ya should have known when this Westchester girl folded like a beach chair during the Capitol Hill invasion, hiding under the table crying, talking about she has PTSD.

A thorough Bronx bytch would have handled that situation a bit more dignified. AOC wants to be a revolutionary but doesn't have the necessary ability to self-sacrifice, a prerequisite for any true revolutionary.

She's a pawn politician, nothing more nothing less.

Tough internet dudes lol.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Yes breh.

I know you over 20 years old by this point.

You don’t need me to spell out that the government does not give a fukk about you.

That doesn't have a damn thing to do with what you said breh, so don't try and move the goalpost

Even you had to realize how goofy your comment sounded even if I agree with your moved goalpost comment.

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yall are ignorant as hell. Yall complain about the money given to Israel but America gives them money because they are its only real foothold in the middle east. With Israel there, they are able to exert their influence and will over a region half a globe away and do things that inevitably benefit Americans (i.e. have a hand on oil production which we need for gasoline, not to mention the supply chain in that part of the world, and if there are ppl in the area trying to get at Americans, they can handle that using Israel as their middle east headquarters if they have to).

For all intents and purposes, Israel is an extension of America in the middle east that serves a range of purposes and y'all dumbasses complain about this all the time cause you have a kindergarten level understanding of geopolitics.

Israeli propaganda. They're a shytty ally that reversed engineers tech we give them and sells to our enemies. Theyre the ones who tampered with our anti-Iran Stuxnet virus and released it to the world. Theyve got the 5th largest nuclear arsenal in the world with the 100th largest population. They have us making decisions in the middle east completely contradictory to our own interests because of their lackies in congress. And when any politician gets out of line they sent in AIPAC to run them out of office.

Tired of that “America East” trope that gets run up the flagpole every time something fukked up happens.

This is y’all’s progressive?
