So many Israel bills, it can get confusing. Here’s a breakdown.
KILL THE ISRAEL INTEGRATION BILLS
❌H.R.8800 / S.4784 NDAA
❌S. 4615, Section 622
❌H.R.7540 / S.3855
❌H.R.1229 / S.554
❌H.Res.1339
DEFUND ISRAEL
✅ H.R. 8595, Massie Amendment
Hakeem Jeffries will become speaker and then the excuse will be “don’t run against the first black speaker of the house.” He’ll be untouchable. If you try to Force A Vote against him as speaker you’ll be shamed and removed. This was the year to get him out!
Ro Khanna backing Massie’s amendment to block aid to Israel, quickly becoming the most outspoken Democrat on this question and also the one most willing to take hard questions about the implications of what it means for Israel to be carrying out a genocide as we speak
Less than two months ago, Blanche committed to meeting with survivors of Epstein's abuse.
Today, all the sudden, he says he can't.
What changed, @DAGToddBlanche?
Every Republican Senator voted to merge our military with Israel’s military.
The most America LAST thing they could possibly do, selling our military out to a foreign country.
It’s absolute treason and betrayal.
I’m voting yes for the Massie Amendment to prevent $3.3 billion in foreign military aid for Israel.
We cannot continue to condone Netanyahu’s actions that are against our moral conscience and our own national security interests by perpetuating the status quo.
A Jewish state can never be democratic. Zionism is a political ideology that envisions the establishment of an ethnostate where Jews have more rights than Palestinians. This racist and violent ideology has always used the same blueprint. First, destroy the land and ethnically cleanse the people who live there. Then, colonize it and erase all traces of a Palestinian presence.
The goal remains the same: To gain as much territory for the Israeli state, with as few Palestinians or Arabs on it, as possible.
Katherine Clark, No. 2 House Democrat, backs cutting Israel aid

I am voting yes on an amendment to block $3.3 billion in American taxpayer dollars for Netanyahu and the Israeli military.
Benjamin Netanyahu, like Donald Trump, is a corrupt authoritarian who should face criminal courts - not receive billions more for weapons.
The American people want lower housing costs and more affordable groceries, not more bombs and foreign wars.
Kennedy: "Other than to himself, who, if anyone else, did Mr. Epstein traffic young women to?"
Blanche: "We did not have evidence of other men."
Dear God. 🙄Make it stop.
This article is worth a read. Israel literally thought they could purchase our perception of them with money. Now they are angry because despite tens of millions of dollars spent on “influencers”, we hate them more than ever.
It really is a shame they didn’t offer me money to consult for them and explain why this campaign was never going to work.
It’s just a different world. Ad spend and crisis PR firms no longer equal results. In fact, they tend to have the exact opposite desired effect.
You can’t spend (or sue) your way into popularity anymore. Extreme power plays featuring limitless budgets, slick-talking lawyers, and DC connections makes people (left and right) resent you because you clearly resent them and think they are unworthy of an honest conversation.
Try articulating why they should support or believe you outside of “because we’re rich and powerful and will destroy you if you don’t”.
Free advice!

This is my Red Line.
If this passes into law, I am voting straight Democrat in November.
At least the Dems might actually reverse this and charge the Republicans with Treason, which they should.
Everyone I know is asking what’s the point in voting for Republicans for many reasons.
The days of voting “for the less of two evils” are gone for most people.
There have been too many broken campaign promises.
EVERYBODY who hated Lindsey Graham’s warmongering should help Mark Lynch win the SC senate seat.
This seat will not it be won by Dems. It’s solid red. So if you oppose Israel’s genocide & influence in our gov, Mark Lynch is the best option.
Everyone at @TheAtlantic, such as @jonathanchait, works for a boss -- Editor @JeffreyGoldberg -- who left the US to join the IDF as a prison guard in an Israeli dungeon holding and torturing Palestinians.
So Atlantic writers should probably refrain from this accuastory imagery:
Following Lord Lindsey’s passing, Darline, Duchess of Charleston, ascended the High Chamber: crowned Baroness of the Palmetto Seat. Her brother's fiefdom and noble lineage are preserved. Long live the House of Graham and DEI! Aristocrats celebrate in Alexandria and Tel-Aviv.
I voted NO to proceed to the NDAA. I can’t support excessive military spending, approval of Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran, and provisions that force deeper U.S.-Israeli defense and intelligence sharing.
