The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.
It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.
Remember folks, Ms. She-wolf of The SS wants to cut funding to Israel because of her raging hatred of Jewish people and not for the plight of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli state. Also, something something Rothschild Space Lasers, something something George Soros.
Yeah this bill cuts funding for the iron dome, putting Israeli civilians in danger without cutting funding for the bombs being used to kill Palestinians, and Iranians, and … Every other neighboring country. Ask this does is ensure even more people in the middle east will die.
counterpoint: weakening the iron dome will increase pressure on Israel to stop its aggressive behavior.
Not as much as not giving them the weapons at all
