Though my amendment to strike $3.3 billion in aid to Israel from the State Dept Approps bill did not pass, 104 House Members voted in favor of it. The tide is changing.
Americans want their tax dollars to be spent improving things here at home, not waging war and genocide.

No, it isn't.
You “principled” isolationists are so dumb. Same as Democrats. You do not care if the Iran/China alliance takes control over all Middle East oil. The pricing and who gets it. Chinese will establish a petro-Yuan.
This is what the Trump administration knows and you are blind to. You want to make the world go away. Too much stress on your pea brains.
Hey Tom, we WASTE more money on Medicare/Medicade in ONE WEEK than what we give to Israel in ONE YEAR (and spend more money, overall, on these programs in one day). How about discussing that, for once?
“No, Thomas Massie (R-KY) does not appear to have introduced legislation specifically to provide funding for homeless veterans. 
Congress.gov and other legislative records show no bills sponsored by Massie that directly authorize or appropriate new funding targeted at homeless veterans programs (such as expanding HUD-VASH, grant programs for transitional housing, or similar initiatives)”
Thanks Grok- go away Thomas.
Note well: The information posted below is factual data Israel does not want you to
know about. So any comments will be predictably construed as being “anti-semitic.”
The US also stores warehouses full of billions of dollars of US weaponry in Israel that Israel can use whenever it needs arms.
The US taxpayer supports Israel primarily through successive 10-year
Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) covering fiscal years 2019 to 2028.
<><>includes up to $38 billion in military assistance
<><>$33 billion tax dollars in Foreign Military Financing grants
<><>and $5 billion tax dollars for missile defense to protect Israeli citizens.
Significant Congressional US legislation includes
<><>the “Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024”
<><>and the “Israel Security Assistance Support Act,”
<><>all of it provides billions of tax dollars in supplementary funding for Israeli defense systems
<><>for example, the Israeli Iron Dome is fully financed with US tax dollars.
Massie is a bitter loser.
Ronald Reagan actually told Menachem Begin in 1982 that Israel was perpetrating a “Holocaust” and afterwards Begin said he was hurt by that.
Many thousands died in Lebanon in 1982 as Israel tried to wipe out the USSR backed Palestine Liberation Organization, but Reagan said Israel was going too far.
73,000 plus dead in Gaza now. More than 1,100 since POTUS proclaimed ceasefire last fall. Israel keeps attacking.
4,000 plus dead in Lebanon too.
As to October 7th Israelis including hostage families, victim families demand an independent probe but Netanyahu refuses.
Why?
Was it allowed to happen, staged?
It’s no secret Hamas was funded by Qatar and that Israel-Netanyahu allowed it before October 7th. That issue a source of debate in Israeli politics prior to October 7th, 2023.
Good old Qatar didn’t they give POTUS his shiny new “Air Force One”?
The Roman Empire used foreign mercenaries near ‘the end’?
“genocide? who’s he kidding?!”
Did he mean that ISRAEL is committing genocide on Gaza? Seriously? (I didn’t see that in the X image posted. Is it in some speech?)
If his only problem is that we’re spending too much to help other countries, and not enough on veterans, that is true. But GENOCIDE? How retarded is he?
I’m sure we spend much more on illegal aliens which to me is a crime in itself. As far as Israel goes, they are our best ally in the region. Better allies than most European countries, and their intelligence is very good. The business of giving money to foreign countries that is supposed to be used for aid needs to be given serious scrutiny. What do we get in return from most of them and how do they use the money?
“The Left’s obsession with Israel is evidence that Jews are indeed God’s Chosen People and that the Bible is true.”
That’s true.
Yesterday, I got into it with a woman at Bible study yesterday at our church. She believes (strongly and loudly and obnoxiously) that the Jews USED TO BE God’s chosen people, but now it’s The Church. She wasn’t able to give chapter and verse of where God rescinded His pronouncement.
Maybe this belief has been around for a long time, but it sounds new-agey to me.
What has happened inside Israel itself since October 7th horrible.
The latest...
Genocide ?
ALL the homeless in the US are generally addicts or those who have other mental health probs who are also refusing treatment.
By definition, those not receiving treatment are not the recipient of any government money.
So, through our NATO contributions, the US is sending more money to England to pay for its defense than we are spending on homeless vets.
But Massie wants to focus on Israel because we are actually fighting a state sponsor of terror and he doesn’t like that because he’s a traitor.
Thread BUMP! Massie has issues. HOORAY Ed Gallrein.
73,000 plus dead in Gaza now. More than 1,100 since POTUS proclaimed ceasefire last fall. Israel keeps attacking
Maybe because most of Gaza want all Jews dead and Israel wiped out?
Maybe because the Hamas and Hezbollah teach their children the best thing they can do with their life is to kill Jews and die while doing so?
We send more welfare money to Puerto Rico every year than we send Israel. Usually TEN times as much - $33 billion. What do we get for it? Bad Bunny.
But we are sending more money to Tiny Timmy Walz’s bastardized Somali skinnies than we are sending to both Israel and the veterans.
I’m glad you enjoy the thread even if you dont agree with the OP. Sometimes interesting discussions without abuse can happen
