While Americans are focused on other things, like how to make ends meet in the face of a rapidly rising cost of living, tomorrow the House will vote to merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Our Founder’s would be appalled at what Congress is doing now.
WE SEND MORE MONEY TO ISRAEL THAN WE SPEND ON HOMELESS VETERANS
The State Department sends $3.3 billion in aid to Israel. Far more than what America spends on homeless veterans. @RepThomasMassie tried to strip that funding through an amendment to H.R. 119-749. The amendment went down in the House, with no Republican voting for it and 104 Democrats backing Massie’s effort to cut the money.
That vote marks a major shift from earlier sessions, when Thomas Massie and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene were the only Republicans voting to end U.S.-taxpayer-funded aid to Israel. Now the split is showing up more clearly across U.S. primaries, where pro-war, AIPAC-backed candidates are increasingly getting knocked off course.
The bigger picture is hard to ignore: more members of Congress are finally treating Israel aid as a live issue instead of automatic policy. And while the establishment still has the votes for now, the political ground is clearly moving underneath them.
Unfortunately the Rule passed just now and no debate or vote was allowed on section 219, integration of US military technology and supply chains with Israel’s.
The NDAA will receive a recorded vote tomorrow with section 219 in it. I’ll vote no.
This will be the most watched recorded vote in modern times.
It will give a list of names of every Member of Congress who betrayed America, committed treason, and sold out the American people to a foreign country.
