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”.

    Please read my comment until the end because I am addressing every thing you said.

    First, AOC voted against the bill. She voted against giving them any funding.

    Wrong. Watch this video and check the list of people who voted against it:

    https://xcancel.com/JimmyJ4thewin/status/1946600934399754316#m

    She did it before, then after some backlash she pretended to cry without tears, then did it again.

    https://xcancel.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1946628558908002748#m

    She owns her political career to Israeli government businessmen with strong ties to AIPAC. She and her family are also Jewish. Now you tell me what are the chances that she is not facing pressure by these people who reasonably have stronger influence on her policies and voting actions against Israel?

    Again not her first time, and in the last 2 years many more videos of her showed her cold complicity and attitude toward Israel. So many videos on youtube of her supporters fighting with her to just speak up and everytime her responses are halfassed lies about how Kamala and Biden are working tirelessly for a ceasefire, only for the Biden adminstration to come the next day and expose that they never even tried to stop Palestine genocide and in fact did everything possible to fascilitate and make it happen.

    Second, even if she had voted in favor of the bill, she’sd not the only member of Congress, so dumping sole blame on her wouldn’t even make sense if the false claims were true.

    FOR THIS, I’m gonna have to let AOC HERSELF reply to you:

    https://ibb.co/spX48GHC

    https://x.com/AOC/status/1799095276382085488

    Read what she is so proud to pin on top of her own page! And when it comes to aiding aprthied and ongoing genocide, fuck AOC’s hypocrisy the bar does not get any lower on any other issue.

    But yes, let’s eat our own over a political stunt by a racist conspiracy theorist (MTG). Those primndearies won’t lose themselves!

    Omg… No bro! Let’s fucking elect another peace-loving democracy beacon of hope the socialist 1st-gen Kenyian immigrant decent American African brother Barack Hussain Obama, who … who would just end up supporting Israel aparthied and their war crimes and slaughter and besiging of palestinians, and supporting every dictatorship, and toppling every democracy in the middleast, and perpetuating US wars and imperalism killing 3 millions+ of brown people and Afghans!

    How dumb are Americans to still fall for the same fucking trick after feeding you the same bowl of shit for 60+ years of Left Right Left Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, Left, Right, Left of the same rotten politicians who smell the same? We’ve seen this before! FUCK WE ARE DONE

      Please read my comment until the end because I am addressing every thing you said.

      Not coherently or relevantly. “Please read all the nonsense.”

      Wrong. Watch this video and check the list of people who voted against it:

      I’m not clicking any link you provide. I don’t trust you. And I’m not clicking on X links because you have to sign in to see full content and I don’t support fascists like Musk.

      You can check the voting history of the bill (not the amendment). She voted against the bill. If you assert otherwise, you’re admitting you’re incapable of searching the Internet for the vote and therefore aren’t worth discussing the topic with.

      She owns her political career to Israeli government businessmen with strong ties to AIPAC. She and her family are also Jewish.

      This is some yarn on the corkboard conspiracy theorism with a sprinkling of racism thrown in. You’re ignoring a lot of nuance and context. Religiously, she’s Catholic. Genetically, she’s only partially Jewish and primarily Latino/Puerto Rican. I might have German heritage but you’d be remiss to accuse me of siding with Trump because he also has German heritage. Shared DNA isn’t a smoking gun.

      I’m going to skip the rest of this so you can wipe the froth from your lips and reread what you wrote. It’ll help if you take the Klan hood off first.

      Barack Hussain Obama

      Obama didn’t do enough of what I wanted and wasn’t a leftist, but the only people who I ever see use his middle name are conservatives dog whistling their racism.

      How dumb are Americans to still fall for the same fucking trick

      You seem really confused. There is no functionally left American option and there hasn’t been throughout the time you’re referencing. AOC is left leaning at most and not enough for my preferences. Obama and Biden were centrists and corporate Democrats. But you vote for the least worst option because otherwise you get 2016 and 2024 results and then you get genocide of undocumented immigrants here in the US.

      You’re missing the point though. Vilifying AOC and lying about something she didn’t do (she literally, factually, actually, provably voted against the bill to fund Israel) isn’t going to do anything useful to push the US further left. Why are you functionally giving ammunition to conservatives to continue to remain in power and push further right? Are you an accelerationist or just don’t understand how politics works?

      Also, when you ask how dumb Americans, are you not including yourself? If you’re not an American, it means you can’t vote or legally influence an election in a meaningful way, so you’re just wasting your time and mine. I hope it made you feel good. Happy to provide you with the chance for hollow senses of accomplishment and pride.

        just add the word xcancel to these links to “not support musk”, and they’d still work, but I wanted to give her official page.

        Also, when did she vote against? 2023Oct, present, 2024April present, 2025Jun-6 she voted present, 2025Jun-25 present, 2025July-7 present. At least I give you sources and links which you refuse to click. Do the same give me her voting history of when she opposed funding this genocide.

        https://www.newsweek.com/republicans-voted-against-israel-funding-iron-dome-1833528

        "The Democrats who voted against the funding were: Cori Bush of Missouri; André Carson of Indiana; Jesús García of Illinois; Raúl Grijalva of Arizona; Marie Newman of Illinois; Ilhan Omar of Minnesota; Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

        Tlaib voiced her opposition to the funding during a speech on the House floor ahead of the September 2021 vote."

        Btw you are the one who is dismissive of her actions and history, and your reply to me was basically plugging your ears shouting “LALALA I Cannot Hear Cannot See…”

        Last, you proved my point when I pointed to her Israel backing history and calling Obama “Barak Hussian…” , which is that they will sell you the same shit for million times. You’d think AOC or Obama are different from Clinton or Bush but they are all the same rotten dnc left, regardless of the image they try to sell you every time wether it was a fiesty socialist latino lady or a kenyian secret-muslim immigrant claimimg to care about people and human rights. They are all warmongering politicians who support US imperalism over the middleast in favor of Israel. You know Obama toppled Egypt’s first democratic elected in its history for an Israeli backed military dictatorship, right? You know how many civilians he killed with his drones in Iraq and Ahganistan? You know that the gulf monarcies under the support and commands of US created, funded, and militirized ISIS as soon as people were trying to free themselves from dictatorships? I’m not trying to change the subject from AOC, but that’s the same bowl of shit the left keep feeding the American people in favor of Israel with hundrends of billions in aid year after year. AOC is not different.

          Do the same give me her voting history of when she opposed funding this genocide.

          Literally the bill in question. If you aren’t familiar with the bill the amendment was for, you don’t know what we’re discussing.

          and your reply to me was basically plugging your ears shouting “LALALA I Cannot Hear Cannot See…”

          No, my reply is that you’re spewing racist conspiracy theories.

          kenyian secret-muslim immigrant

          Again with the racism and conspiracy theories. You’re not even trying to hide it. You clearly have no moral grounds to criticize other people.

            this last reply proves your reading comprehension is too much for me. how tf do you not comprehend words and understand whatever the fuck you want.

            even when I explained to you that they would bring you a bloodtthristy warmonging criminal who slaughteted 3+ millions of brown and muslim people in third world countries and toppled every democracy and supported every dicatorship in push for US imperlaism and exploitation of the middleeast in favor of Israel IN THE CLOTHES OF socalist kenyian secret-muslim immigrant, … and kept feeding you the same bowl of shit of leftist fiesty latino lady fighting for human rights, … your fucking stupid reading comprehension thought this was a racist statement.
            you’re either intentionally stupid, or really actually too stupid for me to deliver any information to. eitherway goodbye
