I'm pretty sure she voted "present" for the Iron Dome funding, although the US Congress is complicated and maybe there were several votes (possibility even for the same bill). This predictably brought her criticism from both Zionists and pro-Palestine people.
She was indeed condemned for having an anti-semitism discussion. I don't know the details.
I am sure I wouldn't agree with every action she has made, but overall I find her to be a passionate, thoughtful leader.
Oh, I get it. I like her a lot. My partner would even say things like, "Your girlfriend AOC is saying..." and things like that to make fun of me. But I hate genocide even more than I like AOC, and I'd hate to not see her be unequivocal about these kinds of things. It feels like she's really slowly, too slowly, getting better about it. I wonder if she's having to learn all the history and stuff about it lately like I did lol.
