Texas Dem agrees with Navi Pillay on Iron Dome?
On Friday, I reported that United Nations 'human rights commissioner' Navi Pillay slammed the United States and Israel for not supplying Iron Dome to Hamas. Texas Democrat Beto O'Rourke - one of only eight Representatives to vote against funding Iron Dome - apparently agrees with her.Before the House vote on Friday, a tweeter who believes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians urged O’Rourke to “vote no” on the grounds that funding the Iron Dome means “funding atrocities.” Although the tweet does not explicitly state that the Iron Dome is an atrocity, it is clearly implied:Yeah, I know, retweets aren't necessarily endorsements, but....
@RepBetoORourke Vote no on any funding to the Iron Dome or to Israel. Stop funding atrocities.

That got a RT from O’Rourke, which he quietly deleted 36 minutes later. Here’s that screencap again:
