Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-McSorley’s Wonderful Saloon) has in the past declared her opposition to U.S. aid to Israel for defensive weapons. But now, at a moment of maximum peril for the embattled Jewish state, which is engaged in a six-front war, and with the Islamic Republic of Iran having launched more than 300 ballistic missiles at the Jewish state in just the last month, she has gone farther still. She told a meeting of the Democratic Socialists of America that she now opposes all aid to Israel, whether for defensive or offensive weapons. More on her latest display of a deep anti-Israel animus can be found here: “Ocasio-Cortez takes hard-line stance against all military aid to Israel,” by Max Rego, The Hill, April 2, 2026:
Q Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday [April 1] the U.S. should not provide funding for Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, clarifying her position on the issue.
“The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on social platform X. “Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law.”…
What AOC fails to comprehend is that Israel is not fighting only for itself. When it attacks Hezbollah, it is also helping the government of Lebanon to regain control of its own country from the terror group that for many years has held that government, and the people of Lebanon, in thrall. When Israel responds to Houthi attacks, hitting its weapons and thereby reducing the Houthis’ ability to hit ships in the Red Sea, it is helping keep that strategic waterway open to commercial shipping from dozens of countries. Israel is helping to keep the Red Sea open to commercial shipping. When Israel destroys Iran’s nuclear facilities, its stockpile of ballistic missiles, and its missile plants, it is also helping every country that the mad mullahs have been attacking. After the Little Satan, Israel, Tehran’s most important target is the Great Satan, the United States. The Americans know that if Iran were ever to acquire nuclear weapons and the warheads to deliver them, the East Coast of the United States would be in grave peril. The IDF can now take risks in bringing the war home to Iran because of its certainty of having a robust anti-missile defense.
Since February 28, when Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion and America’s Operation Epic Fury began, Iran has been attacking every one of its Arab neighbors. The last month has shown the Gulf Arab states — the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman — that Israel is not their enemy, but rather, their fellow victim of, and protector from, Iran. The Islamic Republic has hit oil and gas production facilities, power plants, desalination plants, electricity grids, chemical plants, in those Arab states, and with each blow from Iran those states quite sensibly draw closer to Israel. AOC turns out to be more anti-Israel than tens of millions of Arabs in the Gulf.
Israel’s defense spending now amounts to $46 billion, which is 12% of its GDP, the highest in the world. Unlike the European members of NATO, who have had to be cajoled and threatened to raise their contribution to the alliance of an amount equal to 5% of their GDP, Israel needs no prodding. It is giving its all in the defense of the West. But that cuts no ice with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Israel has also developed new weapons, including the Iron Dome and the laser-based Iron Beam, that are shared with the American military. Such advances in defensive weapons might not have been made so swiftly had the Americans not contributed to funding them. And if AOC gets her way, not one thin dime will go from America to Israel for any of its weapons.

Well, AOC’s mask is finally off. A classic Jew hating b**ch.
A spiritual battle being waged in the natural world.
Her mask has been off for a long time. She has proven time and again that she is a clueless twit.
I’ll be honest I’m not a fan of sending aid to any country, or at least cut the aid in half. Far too many countries receive too much of our tax dollars.
Don’t tell me social security won’t be solvent. or might not be around, but have no problem throwing around billions to other foreign countries.
You are blind and ignorant to Israel which is in YHVH’S PLANS FOR HIS CREATION – and obviously USA which also has YHVH’S BLESSINGS if we remain humble and strong.
I am sure you do not know the power of humble and strong.
1948 Israel is God’s plan for creation?
“I am sure you do not know the power of humble and strong.”
You know me? Talk about projection.
The aid is mandated in perpetuity by jimmy carter’s camp david accords, along with an equal amount to Egypt, and about a 40% smaller amount to Jordan, because King Hussein signed on later. When dems mention the accords, you’ll know they’re serious, and not just playing to their peanut gallery.
Social security has been pay as you go, a ponzi scheme, since 1965. Anybody born after that should have known they wouldn’t see anything they paid into it, and made other plans. It looks like it’s going down right on schedule. The only way for it to be solvent is to massively increase the population.
“…massively increase the population?” I think that’s the Democrat Plan. Ten or Twenty Million more 3rd World farcles and Muslims should do it.
US military assistance to Israel is less than 0.1% of the Federal budget. More is probably lost to welfare fraud every week.
As I recall, when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first won that seat in congress she was surprised, scared and unsure of what to do next.
Then the far left saw this empty slate and thought; we have a new recruit, and cranked up their propaganda/indoctrination machine. So little Alex is gone and now we have AOC.
The satanic skank ho AOC still does not know what to do next. She just got better at acting after being told what to do and what to say.
The satanic skank ho byatch AOC!
Why does Cortez hate Israel so much? Maybe Horse Mouth feels some Jew had shorted her on a tip when she was a bartender.
While she quietly, stealthily funnels taxpayer funds into her squeeze’s account.
I look forward to the accounting AOC and the rest of these satanic deep state skank ho’s face!
THIS WOMAN IS AN HISTORICAL ILLITERATE, A MARXIST OF THE FIRST ORDER.
Of course AOC is against money going to Israel….if there’s ANY money out there, all Demonocrats think that it should be THEIRS !
I oppose Ms Cortez getting a paycheck – she’s not working for it; she’s just doing what anti-Semitic drek does naturally – playing hitler…
