The alternative to funding Iron Dome is Israel striking Hamas rocket sites hidden among Palestinian civilians risking injury and death. The progressive Democrats want to take away Israels defensive means to make them potentially cause civilian deaths making them look bad. They’re willing to trade innocent lives for political gain. It’s a sick game they play.

While Tlaib, Omar, Bush and Pressley voted NO to fund Israel’s Iron Dome (arguing they should fund it themselves), AOC voted “present”, just like she voted “present” on Pelosi’s $2b for the Capitol Police.

it is past time that we demand media to label Nazis Nazis (or IslamoNazis IslamoNazis) or communists communists

merely painting “progressive” lipstick on a Nazi or IslamoNazi pig does not make it Oink any less

I just did some looking around. It sure seems like we are paying for the Iron Dome instead of just allowing Israel access to the needed materials. If I’m wrong about that, I hope someone corrects me.

Anyway, this is just nuts. Allow Israel access to all the technology and materials that they need. But the United States is a debtor nation. We cannot be throwing money around like this. (Yes, I know we spend money on much worse things.)

This is how great empires go broke.

Some details here:

Great news all around. A drop in the bucket billion dollars spent that’s not a complete waste.

Now, about that $3,500 billion (3.5 trillion).

Because in the negotiations leading to the Hamas-Israel peace treaty the US, though not a signatory, offered and agreed to resupply Israel’s depletion of interseptors and to provide financial aid to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.

Note my post 29, we agreed to in in the context of the Egyptian brokered cease fire last May. Israel doesn’t need access to the Iron Dome technology as they invented it, then shared it with the US who now makes some components.

Plus, bonus points for AOC crying. That means Hamas and every other terror group is crying too.

AOC deserves a lot more than getting slapped by Pelousy. She deserves a full blown beat down, until she is nothing but a collection of swollen bruises, lacerations, broken teeth and snapped bones. She is a TRAITOR to the U.S., along with her decidedly unAmerican pals like the felons Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley (AKA Ol’ Baldy). All of them deserve the same treatment, and then send them off to GITMO.

Don’t you love that nonsense. If I recall she claimed on Columbus’ first voyage, he first visited on his third but PR wasn’t settled for a few years later. My first reaction was how stupid could her ancestors be to leave for an island also under the Inquisition and subject to the expulsion order. Then I thought of AOC, maybe someone could have been that stupid.

Probably not, they're still getting the aid promised in May.

Most all foreign aid by the US for Israel is in the form of loan guarantees -— not direct aid.

BTW, the Iron Dome was developed by a partnership of Israel and the US. We have benefited greatly from that research.

I assume that since a billion $$$ were authorized by the House for Iron Dome munitions replenishment that the US is paying for it. The US transfers several billion $$$ per year to Israel for military aid so this is nothing new.

There’s a lot of military technology sharing between Israel and the US. Re. Iron Dome specifically, the US was considering Iron Dome for the Army several years ago. Extensive testing on US ranges. In the end, the US decided to develop a home grown system. I imagine the US’s system has though a very healthy dose of Iron Dome tech in it.
