Ocasio-Cortez: Cutting U.S. Military, Economic Aid to Israel Is 'On the Table'. | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76377772 Canada 04/15/2019 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. congresswoman says reelection of 'Trump-like' Netanyahu is part of 'ascent of authoritarianism across the world,' notes that reducing aid to Israel as a way of signaling opposition to its policies 'can be discussed'. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72342558 The progressive Democrat from New York said there were “many ways to approach this issue,” supporting a bill initiated by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum that would prohibit U.S. military and financial aid to Israel from being used to detain Palestinian children in the West Bank. Any foreign AID to Israel is illegal because they never signed the nuclear non proliferation treaty. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 72342558 Canada 04/15/2019 05:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ocasio-Cortez said that she “hoped and wished” diplomatic activity could also “impact policy” and that “it doesn’t all have to be legislative,” but she did not believe Congress should “sit on our hands.” The 29-year-old democratic socialist representing New York’s 14th Congressional District has previously called for stronger U.S. advocacy of the Palestinian cause. During her primary campaign last year, she described the Israeli army’s actions on the Gaza border as a “massacre” and declared that “Democrats can’t be silent about this anymore.” |

McCollum. She said her job was to “play a facilitating role in this conversation, and a supportive role in this conversation.” [link to www.haaretz.com (secure)] |
