The No speaker thing doesn’t matter if they do not

Speaker Pro Tem holds all the powers of Speaker until one is elected. If, which they do not need to do, the US House wanted to pass a bill they can do it today.

Because of our bill the administration already has pre-existing authority to provide substantial defense aid without any new congressional action.

Has Marco not been reading the numerous reports that Biden has redirected 80% of artillery aid from Israel to Ukraine?

“Without any new congressional action.”

After the 2020 election. Trump knew that the Neocons would be coming into power and would screw things up again, and likely use the aid to force Israel to be their bitch for their many ‘projects’ - and TRUMP PREEMPTED IT.

How can you say there are not built-in incentives for needs for “substantial defense aid” to be initiated?

I think we should all agree that if we are to keep funding Israel, which we should, they should agree to stop being so Charlie Brown wishy-washy in fighting against the Paleos.

I am a firm believer in “land for peace”. NOT, as many think, to offer the Paleos land in exchange for peace, but instead that, for *every* act of Paleo violence against Israel, land should be permanently taken away from them.

This is because, in their religion, the *only* way they can demonstrate that they are a “good Muslim” is to acquire more land, by any means. Conversely, the *worst*, most shameful thing that can happen to a Muslim is to *lose* land to a non-Muslim, especially a Jew.

Muslims have been executed for selling land to a Jew.

Of course, if Israel begins confiscating their land, even with fair market compensation, their howls of outrage will be like nothing heard from them before. And they will say anything to get the land back. Of course it would all be lies.

And this is the hard part for Israel. Because under *no* circumstances should they *ever* give that land back, because that would be a green light to more aggression.

Of course the non-Muslim international community doesn’t understand this, so would be perplexed why Israel won’t part with a “scrap of empty desert” in exchange for “peace”.

But the bottom line for Israel is their politicians must all agree to “take away land for peace”, or Israel will always be at war.

After an action like this latest, I would expect the Paleos to part with a *minimum* of a quarter of Gaza, and maybe even a third. The Israelis would build a new section of wall, and as the icing on the cake, they should bulldoze ever bit of the confiscated land. And leave it fallow.

I’d really really like my tax dollars to fix the problems that exist in our own country before we give a dime elsewhere. We shouldn’t be the world’s police or military.
