JERUSALEM, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday that the chamber would push through a military aid package to help Israel in its war against the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
"We will work to move this aid through the Senate ASAP, and the Israeli leaders made it clear to us they need the aid quickly," said Schumer during a trip to Israel.
He said among Israel's requests are additional interceptors for its Iron Dome missile defense system, which has been operating non-stop shooting down Hamas rockets from Gaza, and precision munitions.
"What about the House (of Representatives)? We're not waiting for the House. We believe if the Senate acts in a strong bipartisan way, it may indeed improve the chances that the House, even with its current dysfunction, will act," Schumer said...

Sure Chuck. I understand somebody found five rounds of 155mm at Ft. Sill that we hadn’t sent to the Ukraine. If we sent three to the Ukraine we would still have one for the East coast and one for the West coast, in case we get invaded. Just sayin’, ya know.
No doubt whatsoever it will include stealth funding for Ukraine.
Hamas has a membership of between 20,000 and 25,000, according to the U.S. government, and was founded in 1987 as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Its name is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, or Islamic resistance movement.
Hamas rejects Israel’s right to exist and is dedicated instead to the creation of a Palestinian country in the region.
Hamas doesn’t have the membership to warrant Billions of dollars, 2 aircraft carriers, all the warships and weaponry. Unless WW111 is on the horizon.

But what about this?
The Democrats hate guns but boy they can’t wait to sell ‘em!!!
hes going to push through a military aid package, this scumbag is just that
We sent Israel 3.3 BILLION in 2022. I had no idea. Do a search on the internet for how much money we send to Israel.
Did you know this?
How come Joe can send BILLIONS continually to Ukraine but Congress has to vote on any funds going to Israel ???
It’s all about insider trading. That’s the reason they go to DC and why committee spots are like gold. It’s why MTG became so pro-McCarthy. She got her committee spots back. Evidently a requirement was that she get her hair done, wear more makeup and frilly collared shirts.
🙏🙏🙏
I believe the proper expression is F*ck Ch*ck.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆yes...your question!!!!
THIS!
Ahhh the meat grinder crowd appears again. Israel may want our military aid but it doesn’t need it. What the need is a free hand to deal with the Gazans. Unfortunately political cover and diplomacy (to slow down Iran) do not enrich any politicians so they won’t get it.
No, his loyalty to is to Satan.

Thank you for sending. Wow.
Schumer is also an Israeli citizen, which should never be allowed under US law. If you hold citizenship of a second country you should not be allowed to serve in government in any capacity.
Schumer is an Israeli citizen? I can’t find any information about that. Have a link?
