I’m with Paul on this issue...
Use Afghan money instead of letting islam have it...
It’s time to cut ourselves loose from all the troublesome people of the Middle East, including Israel. When Trump got the US to be energy independent, that was a big step forward, now Biden has us back at square one.
We do need a friend in the Middle East, and Israel has been a friend.
There is 7.9 Billion people in the world, and the United States has only about 330 million of them. Isolationism isn’t going to work anymore, sadly.
Rand Paul is seriously out of step with a rather large majority of Americans, and I’m not sure I buy the idea that he’s OK with funding the Iron Dome at all. I’ll say it, while I’m betting a lot of other people are thinking it. Luckily he is extreme enough that the voters probably won’t hold his shenanigans against the GOP. Tell you what, though. If the Democrats do bump the filibuster back to a talking filibuster, he’s going to be their poster boy!
Why on Earth should we be funding a foreign country's defenses?
Pretty bold to say "still haven't funded..." like it's some sort of obligation or debt.
Israel’s lack of faith in the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob to be their shield, is duly noted..
Rand Paul sometimes is correct
Rand Paul is correct in this instance trying to make sure we do not fund the Taliban like we most regrettably are funding PLO-Abbas and other terrorist murder gangs
I agree with him on this.
But, holding up the replenishment of defensive missiles for the IDF is WRONG WRONG WRONG. Very very wrong, just about as badly wrong as is possible for moi to imagine.
Rand should definitely continue fighting against funding the Taliban.. yes yes.... but NOT at the expense of the Israeli Defense Forces
Senator Paul can certainly find some other bill to “hold hostage” if this is how he feels he must “play the political game” in the Senate
Screw "Jewish Democrats".
If they want it, let them pay for it themselves. US dollars should not be paying for it.
I would go further than Rand Paul and refuse funds for either. The Israelis are hardly broke, let them start paying for their own defense.
Since democRATs have 50 votes in the Senate and the VP tie-breaker then Rand Paul’s vote is immaterial, and they know it. One of the perks of being a leftist is saying stupid things. Another perk is covering up your own murders as governor. I read an article over at AMgreatness about who, “Andrew Cuomo Personally Made Changes to Report Downplaying COVID-19 Nursing Home Deaths”, so give that a look. He knew those people would die, which is why he removed his own mother from a nursing home before he sent those with covid there. The left can only get away with comments like this because of a populace ignorant of how our government is designed to work, and a MSM that keeps it that way.
Why are we paying for their Iron Dome?
Why are we funding the world, while contributing to inflation at home?
The blame should be put on Omar and The Squad.
Jewish Democrats = Self-loathing Jews who hate Israel as much as the muzzies do.
