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

[pamak]

Whether or not you support that or not doesn’t matter. The fact is we do get massive foreign aid to all those countries, and you never show Up to say anything about that except when Israel was brought up first.

Feel free to show which advanced European country gets foreign aid from the US.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Mexico isn't surrounded by countries wanting their demise and constantly launching attacks on them or we would be aiding their defense

Horseshit

 

[Tettsuo]

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.

Both statements can't be true at the same time. Either are they showboating, thus being completely ineffectual OR they are indeed using their power to enact anti-Semitic polices.

Can you please explain how denying a sovereign country the tax money of another sovereign country somehow anti-Semitic simply because the first country is Jewish?

 

[Loulit01]

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.

Good point. The last president to declare a balanced budget/surplus was Clinton. Speaking of balanced budgets, perhaps we should avoid electing people who've declared bankruptcy 6 times.

its not about what other countries want to do to a said country...it is about being of strategic importance to the US in whether we should or shouldn't fund it...nothing else matters.

 

[Tbird19482]

Why are we funding someone else's military?

well we give aid to Russia , China, NK
It is like 50 years ago I was over seas and the people use to call us the " Stupid Americans"
we asked them why and they said we give money away to everybody and we don't take care of our own
we have people on the streets , people going hungry heck we have Vets that fought for this country that don't have anything
it is time to take care of Americans and not give aid to Russia, China N.K. and all our other enemies
Have a nice day

Because the same standards to which they claim to hold Israel they never hold any other state to.

 

[Tettsuo]

BS!!!!!
are you telling us that the Republicans and Conservatives haven't had a hand in governing this country over the last 50 years?
seem to me that the last several times this country has gone into a deep recession there was a Republican in the W. H. and we elected a Dem. President to get us out of it
YOU can look it up it is a fact that our economy does better when there is a DEM in the W. H. then when we have a Republican as President

under what political party does our - Yahoo Search Results

search.yahoo.com

A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.5

Which Party Is Better for the Economy?

Analysis of both the predictions of economists and the empirical data regarding the economic performance of the policies of the major U.S. political parties

politicsthatwork.com

again there are many studies showing us this and has been for a lot of years
Have a nice day

Personal responsibility my ass. Fiscal responsibility, BS!

And now they're trying to complain about deficit and debt when Democrats are trying to help Americans, but deficit and debt goes out the window for Israel.

 

[Noodlegawd]

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

Assign all the fault you want, but we still have to see them there. That's unpleasant for all of us, whether it's out of empathy or disgust.

And one might argue that the reason Israel needs Iron Dome is its own fault.

 

[Loulit01]

And we can add, millions and millions of people can't afford housing, barely afford food,can't afford healthcer, and they are working full time. Conservatives worship those greedy scumbags that take all the wealth and make their employees rely on assistance, like Walmart. They fight against universal healthcare that could solve poverty issues, they fight against raising min wage, then have the nerve to blame poor people. They are despicable people who have been sucking the D of the uber wealthy and buying the nonsense that all the problems are the fault of the poor.

Never once do they look at themselves and see the fault is their own, for continually supporting tax cuts for the rich and fighting against people being paid livable wages. Trillions of dollars could have made us such ab etter country, but instead it was spent on murdering and destroying, paying corrupt defense contractors

Welcome to DP. You can stay.

What other countries have the squad attempted to take US funds from besides Israel? Couple that with their own words and their anti-Semitism is obvious.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used such language in her own tweets as well.

While many in the west are still uncomfortable calling Israel an Apartheid state, this Israeli man was saying it four years ago. It’s time to get on the right side of history.

While these members have claimed to condemn anti-Semitism in tweets, Guy goes deep into explaining the issue of these same members engaging of whataboutism.

 

[Chainsawmassacre]

Yes I believe I previously stated Israel is our only friend in the region.

 

[American]

Greece is in NATO and we pay for our things we buy from the US unless we get outdated equipment. Also, the idea behind NATO is that there was a common enemy. The Soviet nuclear missiles would fly over Canada before reaching the US and US bases in Europe gave a military advantage and helped Europeans against a powerful adversary and made sure that communism would not deny European markets to US exports. It is ridiculous to compare the situation today with Israel to Europe's during the Cold War.

When's the last time a missile hit Greece?

 

[jotathought]

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.

Sigh .. using your logic .. when one doesn't suck AOCs dick, that doesn't make them a racist.

Get real .. This group of congresswomen are pathetic ..

 

[Ikari]

Yes I believe I previously stated Israel is our only friend in the region.

With friends like that, who needs enemies.

lol

 

[Luce]

Because the same standards to which they claim to hold Israel they never hold any other state to.

It's simpler than that. Our other allies have helped us. Israel has not.

Start by asking which other country was named in this instance as a recipient of US aid.

 

[American]

Do go on about where I posted that.

So you don't support giving money to Ukraine? Who do you support giving money to?

 

[American]

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

Was I talking to you? Obama gave them $1B, remember the Biden trip? Seems the leftwingers were okay with it, so how is Israel any different?

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

LIBERATE THE USA!!!!

Knock Israel off our teet!!!

Thank you Squad!!!!!

 

[Lycanthrope]

So you don't support giving money to Ukraine? Who do you support giving money to?

What does this have to do with anything beyond your desire for a gotcha moment?

Within the context of the thread topic, I find it insane that we give Israel $4B a year in direct military aid.

 

[TomFitz]

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 dormant national socialists were out of the closet on Jan 6th.

 

[American]

Is Israel a poor nation all of a sudden. Why is a billion dollars of American money needed to support Israel?



No, they don't want to fund a regime they feel treats the Palestinians like shit.

Palestinians, who are fake people since they never existed as a group, allow HAMAS and Hezbulah terrorists to fire rockets into Israel all the time. But you're arguing for the Dem extremist. Why is that since other in your party are upset.

'Squad' angers pro-Israel Dems with stance against Iron Dome funding

Pro-Israel Democrats are pushing back after far-left members of the party successfully pushed to have $1 billion in funding for the Iron Dome missile defense system stripped from a spending bill last week.

When's the last time a missile hit Greece?

Greece faces different threats from neighbour NATO supposedly ally, Turkey and we have from time to time casualties during confrontations. Of course. the average American knows shit about the situation in the Aegean and Cyprus which is the reason I hear the question you asked. If you really want to talk about threats then you should agree with me that the foreign aid should go to places like Haiti to make sure that there will be less casualties after the next natural disaster there. The Israelis can protect themselves from home made missiles. The Haitians cannot protect themselves from natural catastrophes.

 

[ClaraD]

Yes I believe I previously stated Israel is our only friend in the region.

So, that means we have to support them financially? Do you support all of your friends financially?
