AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and other democrats are trying to block a $735 million sale of bomb guidance kits to Israel.

Quote:
Another supporter of the resolution, Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), is the chair of the House Appropriations Committee's defense subpanel.
“Selling American-made weapons to Israel while members of Congress are asking for a ceasefire is completely tone-deaf," McCollum said in a statement. "Israel needs to end the bombing of Palestinian families in Gaza and the Biden administration must do more to bring a conclusion to this terrible crisis as swiftly as possible.”

McCollum seems to have forgotten that Hamas rocket attacks on Israel started this whole thing.

No, it was Israelis attacking a mosque and clearing east Jerusalem of Palestinians.

If we could also stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia too, that'd be great.

I guess they want more civilians killed, since they want to block precision aiming devices.

This is what I also said about the Syrian civil war; if the US/West is so concerned about Syria killing civilians in airstrikes, they should sell the Syrian government precision bombs to assist them in aiming and avoiding civilian casualties.

At that, there should be no cease fire, Israel has done this and had a cease fire how many times now? They should just end it now, wipe all of them out.

Not even understand this at all, can you elaborate? Who has a funny mustache and tried to wipe out Hamas? And why thankful he never did it?

The anti-Israel fervor on this forum, on multiple threads, with many posts revealing stark antisemitism, and the majority from liberals who portend to be against bigotry, makes me sick. With all the awful countries in this world, from China to North Korea to Syria, and more, little Israel is getting pummeled above them all by the hateful Democrats.

I mean, of course a pro-terrorist antisemitic group of communists are against helping Israel....it would be weird if they supported it.

What do you do when the satire website gets it right more often than cable news networks?

Israel To Buy Weapons From America With Money Given To Them By America To Shoot Down Iranian Rockets Paid For By America

Biden has approved a $735 million weapons sale to Israel. Israel will be paying for the weapons using money from foreign aid given to them by America. According to experts, Israel needs these weapons so they can shoot down Hamas rockets that were given to them by Iran, who paid for them using money given to them by America.

"Yeah, it's all pretty straightforward," said one Middle East expert. "Not confusing in the least."
