It is becoming politically incorrect to defend oneself

 A growing number of leading progressives in the American political spectrum have come out against continued American funding for the system, some saying it has “emboldened Israel" to attack other countries.

For years, support for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system was immune to politics.

Republicans backed it. Democrats backed it. Funding passed because it was obvious. Intercepting rockets aimed at civilians is not a complicated moral equation.

That clarity is now fading.

As recently as September, a bill to approve supplemental funding for Iron Dome passed the House with only 9 dissenting votes.

However, today, a growing number of leading progressives have come out against continued American funding for the system.

J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Ro Khanna, and Jewish Democratic congressional challenger Brad Lander all now oppose future budget earmarks for Israeli defense systems.

The bottom line is that it is becoming politically incorrect to win a war and human rights are being turned on its head.
