The Senate still hasn’t funded Israel’s Iron Dome. Jewish Democrats blame Rand Paul
Kentucky.com ^ | Nov 24 | BY DAVID CATANESE

When progressive House Democrats fought a vote to pass aid for Israel’s Iron Dome defense shield, the outrage among both mainstream Democrats and Republicans boiled over.

Florida Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch asserted that the opposition permitted “the dismantling of the one Jewish state in the world.” The National Republican Senatorial Committee labeled the progressives as “anti-Israel radicals.”

In the end, just 4% of House Democrats -- eight in total, along with one Republican -- Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie -- voted against the $1 billion defense appropriation in September.

But in the two months since then, the Senate’s taken no action to finalize passage. And Jewish Democrats are largely blaming one man: Rand Paul

Paul objected to unanimous consent passage of the funding in an attempt to extract a condition that the $1 billion for Israel come out of the $3.6 billion remaining allocated for the reconstruction of Afghanistan, which the U.S. military departed in August.

That money was appropriated before the Taliban’s takeover of the country and Paul wants to ensure those dollars aren’t spent on a faction that America was at war with for 20 years.

President Joe Biden’s administration has frozen Afghanistan’s assets and said it would continue to deny the Taliban funding, but hasn’t ruled out eventually sending money to the regime depending on its actions and commitments it makes to the international community.

“The only people standing in the way of funding Iron Dome are the Democrats who are absurdly blocking Dr. Paul’s GOP-supported efforts to fund it with money that would otherwise end up in the hands of the Taliban,” said Paul spokeswoman Kelsey Cooper.

Having been involved in global command aor’s, and then socom/ic for three decades, you could not be more correct. Israel has provided much of our greatest intel, and facilitated many of our successes.

However, from a biblical perspective - AFTER Scripture prophesied Israel would become a nation (multiple texts, including the entirety of Ezekial 37), Scripture also clearly prophetically teaches -

- The entire world will turn against Israel (which unfortunately includes the US)
- There will be a One World government
- One world financial and economic system
- Indicates Russia will lead a massive near unsurvivable attack on Israel
- Israel survives (Ezekial 38-39)
- Israel will enter into a 7 year treaty with the antichrist (referred to as a seven year “pact with death”)
- Antichrist will then move to and rule the world from Jerusalem, break his treaty with Israel, and then he hunts down and kills 2/3rds of all Jews.

In reference to this future time, Zachariah 13:9 explicitly states only 1/3rd of Israel will be brought through.

All who believe schemes, scheme, and or curse Israel are cursed by God.

Baloney. The US Gov has given taxpayer money to dozens of countries. How many times have you objected? I’ll wait and let you count them up and provide links.

Anti-Jewish people use the anti-Israeli posture as the fig leaf to cover their bigotry.

Pretty much all of them.

“I’ll wait and let you count them up and provide links.”

I’ll let you kiss my rosy white ass while you wait.

“Anti-Jewish people use the anti-Israeli posture as the fig leaf to cover their bigotry.”

If that’s a backhanded way to call me a bigot GFY.
