    Did you actually read what you posted? It specifically says she voted against it because it only cut off defensive (ant-missile) armaments while still allowing offensive weapons. Pretty much the opposite of your headline.

      There’s really no difference between “offensive” and “defensive” weapons. Israel was able to start a war with Iran precisely because they knew they would be protected by the “defensive” anti-missile systems provided by the US, and from US assets directly shooting down Iranian missiles on their way to Israel. Weapons are weapons. Don’t fall or the marketing.

      So she wants to make sure the Israeli military bases which bomb Gaza every day cannot be retaliated against.
