⚡️ “NO FUNDS FOR ISRAEL”: A bill to cut off U.S. taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel is likely to come to a vote on the House floor this week.
The amendment, led by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie is forcing an uncomfortable debate inside the House Democratic caucus, Punchbowl News reported.
It would bar any funds in the State Department funding bill (H.R. 8595) from going to Israel and, under the amendment text, cut $3.3 billion from the Foreign Military Financing program, the military aid provided under the U.S.-Israel memorandum of understanding signed during the Obama administration.
Bloomberg Government reports the Rules Committee has cleared the amendment for a floor vote, likely this week, forcing every House member to go on the record.
On a Democratic caucus call, Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro described Israel’s actions as ethnic cleansing, while Rep. Greg Casar said he would support the amendment, Punchbowl News reported. Leadership remained quiet as members asked for guidance, with a fuller discussion expected at this week’s caucus meeting.
Jewish Insider reports that AIPAC and Democratic Majority for Israel are lobbying hard against the measure, with AIPAC issuing an action alert urging members to oppose it.
@TheCradleMedia Until the flow of Iraqi oil money into the U.S coffers is stopped, Iraq will not be free.
Iraq has an American noose around its neck. The Great Satan killed Iraqis and now pillages its revenues.
The United States is currently conducting the largest logistical operation in its history - a statistical analysis.
This 30-second video shows the American logistical air activity in West Asia over the past seven days only (accelerated by 20,000 times). At the same time, this activity continues around the clock for 76 days.
We are talking about the largest aerial supply operation in American military history, which exceeds the scale of the 2003 Iraq War. This level of cargo transport far surpasses routine supply replenishment.
All American strategic warehouses in the region are almost fully stocked and continue to reach their maximum capacity.
The US military is not spending billions of dollars on empty threats or show-off maneuvers. All of this indicates readiness for a preemptive strike and possibly the start of a ground operation.
I’m only surprised it took them this long:
“Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity, documents show.
Draft resolution seeks to shield board members and security forces from potential prosecution for work in Gaza.”

@sarcastic_hn2 Maybe. But on the other hand you can see those scenes live in Gaza today, no re-enactment needed.
Now its up to you what you point you get from those. Being vain and self absorbed will surely make it harder for people to understand.
@Acyn Can we have a debate between the progressives of the Democratic party. Just so the voters can clearly know where each leader stands on issues the voters are concerned with.
OR maybe AOC can give a frank interview to @mehdirhasan .
@declassifiedUK Knowing that all the British shorelines belong to the British Monarch just blows my mind.
Every use of the shoreline makes money for the Monarchy.
🇮🇳 Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of India’s opposition Congress Parliamentary Party and mother of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, says the Modi government has betrayed both the country’s anti-colonial legacy and its commitment to international law by supporting Israel and remaining silent during Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
In a sharply worded opinion piece, she argues that:
🔸 India has abandoned its long-standing support for the Palestinian cause and become “a lone voice of silence” as countries around the world have condemned Israel’s actions.
🔸 Modi’s government has enabled Israel through its silence and moved India closer to Israel at the expense of its historic support for Palestine.
🔸 Modi’s visit to Israel “will go down in history as a bewildering strategic decision,” arguing India is “slipping further into Israel’s strategic orbit” while much of the world is increasingly distancing itself from Israel.
🔸 India’s continued silence “cannot be explained rationally or morally”
New way to describe Israel: Kakocracy.
Pathocracy is a form of government where a society is ruled by manipulative individuals w/personality disorders, particularly psychopathy, narcissism.
Kakocracy is where the culture of the MAJORITY is evil & narcissistic.
كربلاء تروي لنا ذروةُ صراعِ الحقِّ والباطلِ، وأنّ كلُّ من ابتعدَ عن تلك المعركةِ مُداهنًا للباطلِ فقد ساهمَ في مُجابهةِ الحقِّ، وسعى في رفعِ رايةِ الباطل. {فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا}.
الحقُّ والباطلُ لا يجتمعان في أيِّ زمانٍ أو مكانٍ، فإذا رأيتموهما في صورةٍ واحدةٍ أو في دأبٍ مشترك، فاعلموا أنَّ ما ظننتموه حقًّا إنَّما هو باطلٌ مُغَلَّفٌ.
والدرسُ الأهمُّ من مجابهةِ النورِ والظلمةِ في كربلاءَ هو ضرورة موالاةُ الحقِّ والتبرُّؤُ من الباطلِ في كل الأحوال. وتقبَّلوا عزائي في ذكرى استشهادِ سبطِ النبيِّ (ص).
