[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/politics/ocasio-cortez-vote-against-military-aid-israel-iron-dome?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) said Tuesday she would vote against sending any military aid to Israel, including defensive supplies, a marked shift from a Democrat deemed a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
Ocasio-Cortez told members of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America Tuesday that she would commit to voting no on any military aid spending for Israel, a spokesperson for the lawmaker told CNN.
Her remarks, [first reported by City & State](https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/04/dsa-forum-aoc-pledges-not-vote-any-military-aid-israel/412544/), were made at a private forum as members considered whether to endorse her re-election bid.
Her comments come at a time when the Democratic Party is taking on a more critical stance toward the Israeli government and pro-Israel lobbying groups that have spent millions against Democratic candidates who support conditioning aid to Israel.
I am not outraged by her stance.
It is past time for Israel to pay for their own battles.
Which makes now a good time to show her some support. AIPAC and their new trying-to-not-sound-like-AIPAC PACs will be coming for her.

It’s egregious that this is seen as brave or controversial, but I’m glad she’s clear on this
Totally reasonable position. They have free healthcare and education while we subsidize their military.
Good.
Fuck Israel.
Good. About time
As they all should. We are funding awful things.
Will this set the record for number of threads on the same topic in a 24hr period?
Every Israeli has healthcare, meanwhile every American does not. We need to start spending money on our own citizens rather than fund a foreign government’s war.
What do you know a politician with a fucking backbone?
I don’t agree with everything and she says all the time I mean, I’m not some sort of simp or follower, but you know more often than not. I do agree with her. I genuinely do like her. I feel like she’s a good representative of constituency.
This is the stance I need to vote for any Democrat moving forward. Denounce and defund Israel, or no vote.
Good. Israel can pay for its own defense.
Israel has the 29th-ish largest economy. There was a time they needed our money, they dont need it anymore.
More of this please!
severe all diplomatic ties with israel. they are not allies. persona non grata. we do not need them
Yeah this makes sense. You want to be top dog on the middle east? You can support yourself.
Israel is rich. They can pay for their own defense. It’s Ukraine who needs us.
Why does Israel need aid ? It’s rich and has billionaire buddies.
I mean she was elected to support and represent the people who voted for her. Not some batshit warmongering ethnocracy 5000 mile away
Why is this even news.
Israel doesn’t need any aid. It’s a country the size of New Jersey with nuclear weapons and a huge military. They can figure out how to pay for things on their own. They’re long past being in need of anything.
AOC for president.
Fucking FINALLY. Why the hell did it take her so long to do what is OBVIOUSLY the right thing?!
Remember when she said she was Jewish?
Is she really significant?
AOC needs to come out and say „I have no suicidal thoughts and won’t ever kill myself“
I swear Israel is going to try something…
Unimaginably based of her to do this now, but this should have been her stance two years ago
Let’s call it the Aluminum Foil Dome because of how much it actually sucks.
Someone check the brakes on her car and keep her away from windows.
Can I vote for her?
About time
Good
Literally the bare minimum
Finally
Israel pays for universal healthcare for all of their citizens while we sit here and send our hard earned tax dollars to them to allow them to commit a genocide that our ancestors died for stopping Nazi Germany doing the exact same thing.
Anyone who pledges any type of support for that terrorist state, will not get a fucking vote from me.
