The Senate will use this as leverage. You want the iron dome then vote to pass a spending bill and/or fund the government.

7k Raytheon manufacturing jobs in the US would vanish and those jobs would head overseas to Israel so the US bought the business to keep it domestic.

The United States exists almost exclusively to serve the interests of the Israel lobby.

And yes, that includes our bullshite mass illegal immigration plan. The Great Replacememt is real.

Or maybe we could use that 1 Billion to create jobs here for something WE WILL USE.

I'm all for Israel being able to defend itself. But they need to start paying for it themselves. We can't even fix our own infrastructure and we're giving money to Israel? This is just fricked. Let them pay for it.

Gross. We have no business giving money to Israel, or any other rich country.

Are you under the impression that replacing ID missles is the only work that Raytheon does?

Being clever is the highest virtue in that culture. They enjoy pulling one over us.

The Zionist lobby isn’t pro immigration.

The left wing Jews are though. And they’re the most powerful block in the Biden White House.

This is fricking bullshite.

My tax money once again given to a foreign country.

Israel are big boys, I actually think Israel blackmails the U.S.into giving them money.

I honestly believe Israel wants to flatten Palestine, and cons the U.S. into giving them money so they won't destroy the idiots.

I'm very grateful to have Israel as an ally, and I think it is amazing to have a country in the middle east that isn't filled with backwards Muslims, but I don't think they still need our help maintaining the Iron Dome.
