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 expect them to be perfect, I just expect them not to enable genocide at the behest of a foreign nation.

    I’m hoping AOC can pivot and actually start being vocal about it. I’m not going to pretend the problem is people being too serious about genocide of all things. Mossad talking points over here.
