You may recall that on Friday, in what would have been a Christmas Miracle were it not several months early, Congress actually got something done. It was the passage of a bill approving $225M in funding for Israels Iron Dome defensive missile system. It was quite the bipartisan effort in retrospect, garnering an overwhelming 395 votes in the House with only eight in opposition. One of those eight was Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, and as The Corner reports, he went out on the weekend gab circuit to explain why he didnt support the measure.
Because a cease-fire is what we should prioritize now, he said when asked to explain his vote on Meet the Press. A cease-fire protects civilians on both sides it doesnt just say, Were only concerned about people on one side.
He pointed to the devastation he witnessed during his trips to Gaza.
Lets go to the brief video, and then well carry on below that.

He’s a muzzie
Why again are US taxpayers paying for this? The IDF can afford something like this.
Iron Dome is haram.
What can be expected from the voters of Minnesota, and also Massachusetts. Enemys of Freedom?
Yep, he is Muslim. Is his Muslim faith overriding what should be his better judgement as an American congressman??? Just asking.
Paraphrasing: “I like cease fires because they let Muslims sneak up and kill more Jews.”
It’s not like we are not getting anything out of the deal. The funds come right back to the U.S. because they are used to buy American products.
He ain’t trying too hard to hide his anti-semitism, is he?

Don’t blame the Minnesota. Ellison is from New Somalia formerly known as Minneapolis.

One of those eight was Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison...Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, was another of the eight, and "Issa Khlyel, a board member for the Islamic Center of El Paso, approved of O'Rourke's vote", claiming to have been one of the "Palestinians" kicked out by Israelis in 1948. The others were Zoe Lofgren (D-Ca), Jim Moran (D-Va), Justin Amash (R-Mi), Walter Jones (R-NC), Thomas Massie (R-Ky), and Mark Sanford (R-SC).

Still worth reading.
“it’s preventing my muslim brothers engaged in jihad against killing the jews.”
that is the bottom line and we all know it.
“Because my voodoo religion requires it”
We are getting technology out of it. They developed it from the tech side, and we paid for a lot of the R & D. We also get contracts for our workers and companies.
It is a joint venture. US taxpayers want to support Israel's right to exist, and especially for a defensive anti-missile system that works. The US may need to use it to defend against missile attacks on us or other allies. There is a real and present danger that allows the system to be tested, improved, and retested.
The right question for you to ask is why are other nations not paying for this?
I expect that from Dems, nor Pubbies. Very surprising.
