The Iron Dome intercepted approximately 90% of the rockets fired out of Gaza, saving countless lives.<\/p>\n<p>AOC voted against funding the Iron Dome and then, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OGAride\/status\/1441112041096241174\">brief<\/a> huddle with other far-left Democrats, changed her vote to \u201cpresent\u201d in an apparent political calculation. Again, AOC refused to support a purely defensive system that is designed to save innocent civilians from terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.2186234817814\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AOC appears to be crying on the House floor after she changed her vote from &#8220;no&#8221; to present, during voting on funding to replenish Israel\u2019s Iron Dome Defense Systems. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DbcRemtdqY\">pic.twitter.com\/DbcRemtdqY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Moshe Schwartz (@YWNReporter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YWNReporter\/status\/1441110231094759432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Top responses online to AOC\u2019s apparent sadness that Israel would be enabled to prevent terrorists from killing its civilians included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Max Abrahms<\/strong>, professor: \u201cHer political loss, though theatrical, may well save Israeli and Palestinian lives.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ben Shapiro<\/strong>, The Daily Wire: \u201cCrying over Israel defending itself \u2714\ufe0f.
