Our politicians are absolutely in love with Israel. I got no problem with Israel, but their unified love of Israel is wild. The only thing in the world they are unified on.

You could put of a bill to declare that air has oxygen in it and it would not get that kind of lopsided vote. It is crazy.

Considering that defunding Israel in this case would be siding with Hamas, I think it makes it an easy decision for non-Squad members.

They’re somewhat of a satellite country in the Middle East that provide stability to the region. And they share our Judeo-Christian values.

You think the Middle East is bad now? It’d be 1000x worse without Israel.

And she didn't even cast a no vote. Only voted present, so she's playing up all the theatrics without taking stand

One of these things is not like the others.

One of these things just doesn't belong.

I’d like to say a good bit of the instability and hostility of the region actually owes a lot to the existence of their state.

Funding for the “iron dome” is funding for a strictly defensive system. The US’ interest in that system is to knock down a terrorist aggression that is intended to drag Israel into a Middle East conflict and pull the US into it.

We do not just fund Israel. The US dumps money into all of the third world shitholes on the planet and not one damn tangible thing comes out of it except for padded dictator pockets.

In 2021 the US wrote a foreign aid check, for some reason, to all of central and South America, every country in Africa, most of Eastern Europe. India, Australia, Italy, Spain, and.. and… Canada.

But allll the bitching is about a defensive system in Israel. All of it. That actually can be accounted for.

Unreal.

AOC dragged for ‘bad theater’ after crying over Iron Dome vote
quote:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being dragged for “bad theater” after she appeared to break down on the House floor just moments after she voted “present” on an effort to provide $1 billion in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.
quote:

“Why is @AOC crying? Because Jewish and Christian women and children won’t shake in terror as unguided rockets rain down on their homes and schools,” said Josh Mandel, an Ohio GOP Senate candidate.

“Why is AOC crying because fewer rockets will fall on Israeli citizens and cities? The Iron Dome doesn’t have offensive capabilities. It’s a defensive weapon used to stop rockets launched by terrorists from killing innocent people. Why does that make her sad? Will anyone ask?” Daily Caller editor David Hookstead questioned.

The only reason they generally aren't fighting each other is that they have Israel to blame instead.

You could have Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey at each other's throats and they'll all claim whatever is going on is a "Zionist plot" because Israel is living rent free in their collective minds.

How do you feel about paying for western Europe's defense?

You've got access to this information. H.R. 5323 would be a good search term to gather information about it.

It pisses me off that our news organizations don't routinely link to the house site when discussing house business.

They want us dumb and uninformed.

The past 20 years, do you still really believe that?

Yeah, we don’t need to be giving it to anybody. Just trying to be consistent.
