Perhaps some Democrats are genuinely shocked at the atrocities and could not vote against this in good conscience. There are also reports of public antisemitism occurring at major universities. Also, major Jewish donors to the Democrat Party might be telling Democrats that they are becoming frightened by the support a sizeable number of Americans are vocalizing for Hamas. Also, I haven’t heard if the Democrats were telling their members to vote no on this.

>> IRS funding cuts actually make the deficit worse

You’re parroting DemonRat talking points? Seriously?

Should we then give the IRS a trillion dollars to hire 20 million IRS agents to brutally shake down every single working American? Do you think you could eliminate the deficit with your “more IRS” strategy?

I can’t imagine what life would be like in this day and age being Jewish. Let alone living in Israel while so many nations find it fitting to abandon them during a time while they are under constant assault on a multi front arena.

I say throw ukrain to the wolves and support our number one Allie in the ME.

They are under constant unprovoked attack by barbarians.

Q, What’s with MTG and Massie voting no?

Maybe they don’t believe US tax dollars should go to a foreign nation
sitting on over $200B in reserves w/ free healthcare for their citizens?

“..am AMAZED that TWELVE Democrats voted with the Republicans!”

They’ve been given the OK to vote for it as Chuck Shumer has given the promise it will die in the Senate. The new bipartisanship don’tcha know.

Israel's narrative is crumbling. It's not so much as vocalizing support for Hamas, but a lot of people now understand the dynamics of Israel and the Palestinians thanks to outlets like Tik-Tok and the de-liberalizing of Twitter (X) now.

My prediction is that there will be a cease-fire or a peace agreement by the end of the year. Public perception is huge to Israel. They cannot afford to be portrayed as the bad guys.

How often do you think that the media will call this "bipartisan"?

I don’t believe any government cost benefit analysis on the IRS “investment”.

Wasserman represents a large Jewish community in her Florida district. She couldn't afford to vote against aid to Israel.

I understand it perfectly well. The so called Palestinians need to get out of Israel.

This was extra funding not spent yet. They can still do their jobs. Americans are doing with less and making it work.

I cannot imagine, but! am AMAZED that TWELVE Democrats voted with the Republicans!

I wouldn't get too excited. Looking at the voting from a religious angle you'll find five out of the twelve Dems who voted in favor of this are Jews, so it's not much of a surprise. (The remaining seven Dems are a hodgepodge of Catholics and various Protestant denominational members).

Here's the list of Demon-rats who voted with the majority along with their religious affiliations:

• Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota – (Lutheran)

• Rep. Donald Davis of North Carolina – (PC-USA)

• Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida – (Jewish)

• Rep. Jared Golden of Maine – (Unknown)

• Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey – (Jewish)

• Rep. Greg Landsman of Ohio - - (Jewish)

• Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida – (Jewish)

• Rep. Darren Soto of Florida – (Catholic)

• Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan – ((Unspecified Protestant)

• Rep. Juan Vargas of California – (Catholic)

• Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida – (Jewish)

• Rep. Frederica S. Wilson of Florida – (Anglican/Episcopal)
