Kentucky Republican wants to redirect proposed Afghanistan aid to finance Israel's missile defense system
In the latest hurdle to Israel receiving $1 billion in funding to replenish its Iron Dome missile defense system after May's Gaza conflict, Republican Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky has blocked swift passage of the bill, Politico reports.
The lawmaker is an opponent of US foreign aid and is insisting that the Iron Dome money be offset by redirecting financial assistance for Afghanistan.
“He proposed that we pay for the House bill with money that is going to go to the Taliban,” a spokeswoman for the Kentucky senator told Politico.

What an idiot. Doesn’t he understand that the globalist game only works if we fund and arm BOTH sides of the conflict?
[ “I an NOT fine with use sending Billions over to Israel”
You have very strong comments against Israel, and you are silent on the aid to the Taliban. That says a lot. ]
Just for the record: I have said the following on THIS very forum before!
Quote: “We could take all the money that we send to countries that HATE Israel and not send it to them and then cut the money we DO send to Israel BY THAT EXACT amount and Israel WOULD BE FAR FAR FAR SAFER!”
So don’t try to “put silence in my mouth” with some rhetorical cheap shot!
Sounds about right. If Biden wants to continue to support the terrorist Taliban, he can do it out of his own pocket. He must have a few million lying around somewhere, after all the CCP bribe money he illegally and knowingly received.

If we only knew how much money was WASTED in the last 80 years ALONE doing crap like that we could actually have afforded to colonize SPACE already!
Bibi didn’t exactly impress me at times.
Look, we’ve had three total disasters as presidents in
Clinton, Obama, and now Biden.
I’d still like to think our allies will stand by us
until we get back to some sanity again.
It is a mess. I agree.
Pay for the house bill with it. Nice touch
We are broke and functionally insolvent. Technically, we shouldn’t be giving money to anyone.
Make sure Israel is safe first? I’m not so hot and bothered about them these days. When their damned spy Pollard was released Netanyahu met him at the airport with a hero’s welcome. When the election steal was only a few hours old, Netanyahu couldn’t wait to congratulate Biden early in the morning on November 4. And when ISIS was running wild and the Syrian Army was fighting for it’s life, Israel started bombing them. Basically flying top cover for ISIS.
Maybe Israel needs to show a little respect for America.
Israel is pretty well off financially. They can pay for their ow defense too can’t they?

Agreed!
I’ve seen these few days or weeks things become “never”
before, so I’m not as willing to watch this hang in the
balance.
Look at our actions with Saudi Arabia, yanking out their
defenses.
The mood in the Communist camp, isn’t helping those who
have been our allies.
I acknowledge you could be right. Lets hope you are.
Thomas Massie was the only Republican in the U.S. House to vote against it.
For whatever reason, only Kentucky elects Republicans to the federal government that oppose all foreign aid.

Let’s send another trillion dollar to them, maybe THIS TIME they will vote Republican!
Yep both are principled and always vote against any foreign aid ...

Here is the big problem too.
If we send money to Israel it has the unintended consequences of freeing up MORE money for the Communist/Socialist members of the Knesset to be able to justify BLOWING on their socialist shit show programs and this in turn WEAKENS Israel INTERNALLY and POLITICALLY!!! They use those socialist programs ( like they do in OUR remnants of a country ) to launder the tax payer money back to themselves.
If we DON’T send them money then they have LESS money to blow on socialist crap and they HAVE TO spend it on DEFENSE as the TOP PRIORITY! Which means the commies get less money/power to screw with the traditionalists and conservatives in THEIR government.
When we send money to Israel, WE WEAKEN THE CONSERVATIVE HARD LINERS and STRENGTHEN THE SOCIALISTS over there!
“We could take all the money that we send to countries that HATE Israel and not send it to them and then cut the money we DO send to Israel BY THAT EXACT amount and Israel WOULD BE FAR FAR FAR SAFER!”
Not a bad idea. Quit funding the goat humpers, then we wouldn’t need to give Israel as much.
In any case, since we borrow ever penny we give them, maybe they all should do without. Would you go get a bank loan and send me the loot? Would you do it if I was anything less than a zero defect supporter of yours?
Nice move by Rand.
God trumps politics. I want to be on God’s side, and I want America to be on God’s side. I want us to bless Israel, because it is God’s command, and it comes with God’s promise that we will be blessed.
Israel is the apple of God’s eye. I don’t want to be on the side of the Squad, even if Rand Paul is on the side of the Squad, and stick America’s finger in His eye. If we are ever going to get out of the crap we are in, it is going to require divine intervention, and the best way to keep that intervention from happening is to tell Israel to go pound Palestinian sand and let the missiles fly. (Hint: they’ll use something else in retaliation just as we would, and it won’t be pretty.)

The Socialists in the Israel government have more money to play with when uncle sam pays their defense bills.
They are the only sanity and democracy in a land of demons .
Their internal budget is also mostly defense .
We lose them and we lose the only listening post and port in that hell .
The hatred of Israel by some posters borders is just
not logical but something else .
