[W:171] AOC and ‘Squad’ Defund Israel’s Iron Dome Defence System from Democrats’ $1Bn Spending Bill

[Luce]

Israel is our best alley in the region.

What have they done for us?

 

[lurchadams]

The problem is your and the squads hatred for America.

Yeah - you've proven you can barf up a strawman - not very impressive.

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

Wait, it is purely defensive. What the hell are these women doing?
And what kind of sick individual would want so many innocent people dead and gone...?


Ah.. well.. there's my answer.
I really hope this kind of hate isn't going to infect the country. If it means more people like this are going to keep crawling out of the woodwork.

do you people post such dumb shit on purpose? israel can pay for their own damn defense. They keep being terrorist to Palestinians and other countries, then whine when someone attacks them.

You people don't want taxpayer money going to healthcare, food and affordable housing, clean running water, but someone who cuts a billion going to a foreign country is the sick people? Holy ****, you have to be trolling and posting these stupid things on purpose right? Are right wingers truly that despicable and idiotic?

Does anyone think the funding will not be restored?

Really, but you're okay with Biden giving $1B to Ukraine.

Who said that? I'm certainly not OK with that.

 

[Tbird19482]

Why are we funding someone else's military?

Well why are we giving aid to Russia, China, N Korea I thought these countries were our enemies
we give them aid so they can take that amount of their money and put it into their Military
we also give aid to almost every other country in the world
shouldn't we be taking care of Americans
Have a nice day

 

[armycowboy]

That sounds a bit anti Semitic to me. And, by a bit, a mean a lot. KKK supporter too?

Is this really the best you can do? Completely pathetic post.

 

[Carl Young]

What do they think the outcome will be? If Israel's citizens aren't protected from terrorists trying to kill them with rockets... the response from Israel to any violence will have to be much stronger then in the past. I predict a lot of dead Palestinian citizens once rockets start flying in to Israel.

Maybe that is their goal? Thinking they can sacrifice Palestinians in the hope it will turn opinion against israel?

If your prediction of rockets flying into Israel comes true, who do we blame for that?

 

[Carl Young]

Why should the US pay to defend Israel, when our own country is falling apart and hundreds of thousands of people here are living in the streets?

Your own country is falling apart because of the domestic policies of Joe Biden and other Democrat policies. Elect honest, non ideological and competent people wo can balance a budget and you'll have fewer problems.

Just another day in Congress where funding is removed from a bill and out comes another bill

 

[Carl Young]

And that 'downward direction' began with the consummate moron, Trump, who in four short years managed to deeply damage America's international reputation, insulted and demeaned your long-standing allies, and made a laughing stock out of both America and himself.

That's just silly. Where do you get this stuff?

 

[armycowboy]

That's just silly. Where do you get this stuff?

That was spot on, actually.

 

[Luce]

That's just silly. Where do you get this stuff?

Say, how'd that Canadian election go?

 

[Carl Young]

How many thousands of missiles has the USA funded to help protect our allies in Europe from 1954 to present?

The "squad" doesn't care to mention this?

But our Allies in Europe are not Jewish States. That's what lies at the heart of their protest. They'll have less of a problem with Aid being sent to Arab/Muslim States.

 

[Carl Young]

That was spot on, actually.

Great. Then where do you guys get your information?

 

[snakestretcher]

That's just silly. Where do you get this stuff?

The Trump era has seen a decline in America’s global reputation

In international surveys, Donald Trump has generally received lower ratings than either of his two predecessors.

Global perception of US falls to two-decade low

Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has eroded America's already fading reputation.

Donald Trump has dragged America's global reputation to an all-time low | Simon Tisdall

His disdain for democracy, adulation for autocrats and contempt for rules-based order poses a unique peril. Ditching Trump would be a gift to the world

And then this happened...

America's global image under Biden skyrockets compared to Trump, survey finds

A median of 75 percent of respondents from 12 countries expressed confidence in Biden, compared with 17 percent for Trump in 2020.

We do? Boy, it's great to have you around, Carl. That way I don't have to form an opinion, Carl, since you're here to do it for me. Carl.

Sure, the shared technology has been going on for years and was also funded by the Obama Administration. But it does bring the dormant National Socialists out of the closet.

The squad is just showboating as per usual. They know we won't defund our only real friend in that region. It does however highlight their anti-Semitism.

 

[snakestretcher]

Most people living in the streets are there because of their own fault.

Oh really? So someone loses a job through ill-health or redundancy, can't pay their rent/mortgage as a result and ends up homeless, but it's their fault? How much more clueless could your comment get?

 

[ClaraD]

Not as wealthy as the U.S.

Israel has a higher per capita of billionaires than the US....6.7 per every million people...the US 1.853. We only have 724 billionaires in our country, with a population of 330,000,000 and Israel has

Not as wealthy as the U.S.

yeah, almost as wealthy as the US....they have about the same amount of billionaires per capita that we do.

 

[pamak]

Well technically a big chunk of the U.S. military aid to Israel they plow back into purchasing U.S. military hardware.

So, essentially it is like we give them our equipment for free and at the expense of the average US payer. Anyway, in the. case of the Iron Dome, the system is an Israeli production.

 

[ClaraD]

Most people living in the streets are there because of their own fault.

that is false....many are there, because we don't know how to properly fund health care and especially mental health care, in this country.

Wait a minute - are you suggesting nearly $4B in annual military aid to Israel is too much, and like the average American they need to stop looking for government handouts and pull themselves up by their own bootstraps?

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

Translated .. Is this group antisemitism? Where is the outrage?

WTF is wrong with you people? Israel is a country. it's not anti-semetic to not suck Israel's D. And the biggest racist people are conservatives, so spare us the projection.
