Ok, now I get it. That's not enough money to build squat. This is a smokescreen that makes them look like they are supporting Israel.

Did you see the Giants/Jets game the other night in their new stadium? Their new $1.7 BILLION stadium?

I think they dropped a decimal place. If not, it’s not going to do a thing except that the next poll will say that zer0 and the dems support Israel.
