Finally progressives do something good: using their leverage as a bloc to cut money to israel — well done. This is how you do it.
Bowman says Pelosi introduced the Iron Dome money at last minute. Likely to try and get Republican support. Apparently didn’t work b/c they don’t want to raise debt ceiling. Now Reps are calling progressives anti-Semitic— even though they were going to vote no as well (??) lol
“But the iron dome is only defensive!!”. That’s funny. So the Israelis illegally occupy Palestine and Syria, but because the Iron Dome shoots down other rockets it’s now defensive? Lmao. An occupying force is an aggressor by definition, and ID supports their illegal occupation.
Weird how Palestinians don’t get any defense $ from the US. Apparently those who illegally occupy others’ land are “defending” themselves, and the ones who resist are terrorists? Palestinians, Arabs, Levantines are all Semitic too. So why is killing them okay? That’s not racist?
Right now they claim ID is only defensive— But the other day the Israeli ambassador calls AOC anti-Semitic for trying to restrict just one type of weapon used to massacre Palestinians in May! They always have an excuse to continue support for israel.
Why don’t the Israelis pay for it themselves? Why is it the United States’ responsibility to pay for another country’s weapons? Why not pay for Britain’s military budget? Or Switzerland’s? What’s so special about israel that the US taxpayer has to give them billions each year?
Don’t worry though. Ultimately the Iron Dome money will very likely be moved to the 2022 Defense Appropriations Bill where it will pass. Israel will get its billions so it can continue illegally occupying Palestine and Syria and killing with impunity.
