Last year, a bipartisan group of members of Congress introduced H.Res.776: a resolution expressing concern about the persecution of Coptic Christians under Egypt’s Islamic regime.
The resolution has only picked up 8 cosponsors and has yet to make it out of committee.
By contrast, 103 House Democrats voted in favor of the Massie amendment to cut aid to Israel out of H. R. 8595 which also apportions $1.4 billion to Egypt and $1.6 billion to Jordan.
Meanwhile an amendment to zero out the $1.4 billion in military aid to Egypt never even made it out of the House Rules Committee while none of the Democrats who voted to cut off aid to Israel voted in favor of a similar amendment to cut off aid to Jordan, a totalitarian monarchy which harbors Islamic terrorists, including those who have murdered Americans, by 421-6.
The inability of resolutions and amendments critical of Egypt to make it out of committee comes a year after Sen. Bob Menendez was sent to prison over bribery and foreign agent charges, for taking “actions to benefit the Government of Egypt” and even “ghostwriting a letter for Egypt to be provided to his own Senate colleagues”: but that led no congressional action against Egypt.
Both Israel and Egypt aid use the ‘Foreign Military Financing Program”. There are, however, profound differences between Israel and Egypt. Israel has been a longstanding American ally while Egypt was a Soviet ally until the 1970s. Israel and America have cultural and religious ties while Egypt is one election away from becoming an Islamic terror state… as we saw in 2012.
Before his death, 1 in 5 Egyptians had expressed “confidence” in Osama bin Laden, about half of them support Hamas: a spinoff of the Muslim Brotherhood that was transplanted into Gaza.

Or perhaps the United States.
With an 83% favorable rating, the Israelis like us, while most Egyptians don’t like us and don’t even want our aid..In one survey a decade ago, 58% of Egyptians had a negative view of our military aid while only 10% had a positive one. It’s not surprising then that Christians continue to be a persecuted minority in Egypt despite making up 10% of the country’s population.
The persecution of Christians in Egypt has been a longstanding issue and includes both mob violence directed against Christians trying to build churches and worship in them that has led to incidents of ethnic cleansing as well as oppression that comes from Egyptian law and from the Egyptian state. The Egyptian constitution, like those of most Muslim countries, states that, “Islam is the religion of the State” and “Islamic law (Sharia) is the principal source of legislation”.
Egyptian ID cards include every individual’s religion making it easy to discriminate against Christians. Christians must apply for permission to build churches, preachers have been imprisoned for defending their religion in debates and Christian converts are threatened.
And yet aid to Israel is controversial, over ‘human rights’ while aid to Egypt sails through.
The few Democrats who mention the human rights situation in Egypt generally focus on the status of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was banned after staging its coup, rather than on the millions of Christians who aren’t trying to take over Egypt, just to worship in their own way. The message from House Democrats is that Christian lives don’t matter and Jewish lives don’t matter, only Islamic Jihadist lives and agendas do.

Enemies foreign and domestic. Aiding and abetting.
The left instinctively sides with evil.
When we stop aiding Israel we’re done.
Democrats aren’t Christians. They may claim to be but they’re not. You can’t be a believer of Christ Jesus and things like abortion on demand and transing minors at the same time. You
How about Congress quit giving all other countries money that we do not have? Why don’t we try that for awhile? Lets not bankroll everyone else.
Americans are tired of the rotten economy here as these creeps in Congress forget us and hand out money to foreign countries.
Oh really? Why are we done?
Cutting off aid to America’s most reliable and Democratic ally in the world is suicide for the USA.
Most folks have no idea how much INTEL Israel provides the US + battle-tested systems the Israelis work out, like the F-35.
If the DEMONcrats cut Israel off then the Islamic world will get what it has dreamed of since 1948 - an isolated Jewish state.
The demonization of a tiny and moral country in the face of the October 7th onslaught by the most evil scum in the world is a shame before what is right, true and God’s morality.
This is folly and irrational.
Democrats SUCK!!! They are not Americans. They are Handjobmaiden tails. Friggin’ idiots.
I agree
BUT the whole world will be gathered against Jerusalem
for Armageddon.
At the end of the 7 Years of ‘Peace and Security’
Boy are they in for a huge surprise 🙀🤯😨
Well the democrats are a backward race
It's sad to me as he is a great person, but doesn't see (or refuses to consider) that the liberals he's supporting - including those running the Democrat party don't and won't have his back, and may be capable of worse.
We should probably cut back on all the money we give out to countries
Exactly.
Zero out every dollar sent to every country until the federal debt is zero.
They can wait a few centuries until that is done—lol.
Wait, the allah Akbar chorus here in FR tells me Israelis hate Americans and systematically persecute Christians!
Such a surprise.
EASY to figure that out, “THE WORLD KNOWS ITS OWN”.
I’d like to stop sending aid to both countries quite frankly. If we weren’t almost $30 trillion in debt, I might be willing to support such a thing but we are spending like crazy and not even on our own people. It’s really stupid and will bite us.
It’s 1000 years actually.
They have that in common with the FReeper Allahu Akhbar Chorus.
