MAGA wants many jews and christians to die at the hands of hamas in the middle east?Finally, AOC and the squad did something to make conservatives happy! America first! MAGA!
Imagine sending a billion dollars to Israel instead of spending it on Americans. Conservatives must be jumping for joy.
They lie continually.Heh heh heh, I love AOC and The Squad!!
They really tell it like it is re: Israel, and I love that!
BWAHAHAHAHHA, very refreshing!!
More Squad please!!!!
BS!they're not financing their economy, they're replenishing the Iron Dome.
America could never be defeated from the outside but it is been destroyed from within.
Not a Trump position, Trump was the best friend Israel ever had. Their motivation is pure hatred of Jews, nothing else.Wow, I never thought the Squad would adapt Trumpist positions, America first and screw everyone else.
I'm against hypocracy. I'm against enriching the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about. I'm against sending $1 billion to Israel while we have a housing crises, a healthcare disaster, a collapsing infrastructure, and an immigration nightmare right here.Are you for or against MAGA, and what does MAGA have to do with Israel?
Are you aware of the history behind the Iron Dome?
and? So do we. We're the US.The country has an advanced economy
Good! Let's hope they can come up with even more advanced systems.and the Iron Dome has been developed in israel.
Are they really though? It's a small country. A developed country, sure, but small, and any defensive capability is going to be far more expensive than any cheaply made rocket used against them. If it were a 1-to-1 cost ratio, i would agree, but that's simply not the case.They are more than capable of covering the cost.
why? Haitis are the ones choosing to migrate over here, let them help themselves.As I said, such foreign help should be used to help Haitians to replace their houses.
They are just being fiscally conservative.AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib struck down the funding for Israel's defensive Iron Dome system -- and for what? Because it's a defensive system that saves lives from incoming missiles that would otherwise take lives.
AOC and ‘Squad’ defund Israel’s Iron Dome defence system from $1bn spending bill
Israel US embassy denies reports it will become the second country in as many weeks to withdraw ambassador in protest of Democrat’s foreign policy.www.independent.co.uk
You can't spell MAGA without "Israel."Israel should pay for their own defense. I swear some Republicans act like Israel is the 51st state.
Not a Trump position, Trump was the best friend Israel ever had. Their motivation is pure hatred of Jews, nothing else.
So, there is no need to give ..money to people in advanced economies. When the Israelis decide to give us free money for our needs, then I will change my mind. Meanwhile, we. can send the money to Haiti if you don't want to help the immigrants in the US. It ridiculous to have such discussions for Israel when we even use tariffs to protect US interests from friends like Canadians!View attachment 67355156

These are Trump supporters not liberals.Not a Trump position, Trump was the best friend Israel ever had. Their motivation is pure hatred of Jews, nothing else.
That did not answer my question, at all.In a multi $$$$ trillion budget this act by the squad is only symbolic. Any idea what that symbolism might be?
If budgetary waste is a concern there are many other areas which should be of concern, moreso than assisting another democracy in it's own defense. Much of the technology involved is American, being co-produced in America, and will also be used in America's defense system.
But I'll wager that the leftists know nothing of this but, in true leftist ignorance, automatically move against Israel.
Then we ain't spelling MAGA.You can't spell MAGA without "Israel."
Clearly American Jews don't know what's best for them. Thankfully they have Republicans/Trumplicans looking out for them, no matter how ungrateful they may be.For most of the 20th century since 1936, the vast majority of Jews in the United States have been aligned with the Democratic Party.
When Trump did it it was ok with the right but now the Dems aredoing it they aregoing to cry about itWow, I never thought the Squad would adapt Trumpist positions, America first and screw everyone else.
Well technically a big chunk of the U.S. military aid to Israel they plow back into purchasing U.S. military hardware.BS!
The country has an advanced economy and the Iron Dome has been developed in israel. They are more than capable of covering the cost from their own taxes. In essence, we subsidize their economy.. As I said, such foreign help should be used to help Haitians to replace their houses.
I think if there's security concerns, then i think it is admirable for advanced nations to work together, and is actually a bad trait of other like nations to refuse and cease cooperation. We're a community of free nations, and when one is under attack, then we all are. Civilization will be sure to regress to barbarity if we refuse to act as a community.So, there is no need to give ..money to people in advanced economies.
They're a small nation with high security concerns. Idk if you've looked at the map, but....When the Israelis decide to give us free money for our needs,
They are choosing to migrate here, from their own countries, when they never had a need to do so. Most israelis never had the choice, and were jews who were kicked out of their host countries like Poland, Iraq, Syria, Germany, etc...of which israel was one of the few countries to open the doors for them.then I will change my mind. Meanwhile, we. can send the money to Haiti if you don't want to help the immigrants in the US.
uhhh, tariffs were used against israel tooIt ridiculous to have such discussions for Israel when we even use tariffs to protect US interests from friends like Canadians!
Let Israel pay for their own defense.
Nice rant, but you still haven't demonstrated why we should be paying for another sovereign nation's defense. Want to give that a shot, rather than ranting about leftists and providing stupid bumper sticker slogans. Thanks in advance.Let Central American countries pay for it's own citizens repatriation from our border.
Let the homeless pay for their own trash cleanup.
Let the lazy unemployed layabouts pay for their bills.
Let criminals pay for their crimes.
Let the Portland rioters pay for damages.
The left know nothing of "paying their own way". They expect mommies and the gov't to cover their rent.

To add some very relevant context:AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib struck down the funding for Israel's defensive Iron Dome system -- and for what? Because it's a defensive system that saves lives from incoming missiles that would otherwise take lives.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must pass the bill by September 30 to keep the government funded through the start of December. She needs all hands on deck to pass the budgetary bill, and could not afford to lose progressive votes because no Republican is willing to support it.
Pelosi may have originally calculated that adding the Iron Dome funding would be a way to entice Republicans, but this did not bring any onboard
New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman told Bloomberg that the problem was that the Iron Dome provision had been added in at the last minute, and that there had been no proper discussion.
“It’s not about Israel, it’s about, once again, leadership, throwing something on our table last minute and expecting us to decide in five minutes what to do with it, that’s the bigger problem,” Bowman said.
Explaining the reasoning behind some in the progressive caucus’s refusal to back the funding, a source familiar with the matter told ToI, “It was being added to an unrelated bill to keep the government open, with zero strings attached.”
