A bipartisan group of House lawmakers sent a letter to the Pentagon on Wednesday urging Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to give the Israelis more military aid after Israel’s Gaza bombing campaign. The effort was led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), who was joined by 54 other members of the House.
The letter comes as Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz is traveling to Washington, where he is expected to ask the US for an additional $1 billion in “emergency” military aid, on top of the $3.8 billion Israel receives annually.
The letter reads: “We write to express our strong support for the Biden Administration’s ironclad commitment to Israel’s safety and security, including replenishing Israel’s stock of interceptors for the Iron Dome missile defense system and other important matters. We ask that you continue urgently engaging with Israel on this request, and that you please report to Congress regarding Israel’s needs as soon as possible.”
“Replenishing” the Iron Dome missile defense system is likely the excuse the US will use to give Israel more money. In reality, Israel could easily spend the additional aid on more bombs to drop on Gaza.
In the letter, the lawmakers pointed out that after the 2014 Gaza War, when Israel killed over 2,000 Palestinians, the US gave Israel $225 million in “emergency” aid. They said the agreement that gives Israel $3.8 billion each year, known as the Memorandum of Understanding, says the US could hand over more money “following a major armed conflict involving Israel.”
The lawmakers sounded eager to help the Pentagon fulfill Israel’s request for more aid. “If Israel requests additional assistance, as contemplated in the MOU, please work closely with Congress to expeditiously fulfill this request.”
Homeless camps all over America and these bastards want to give more money to Israel.
The motherf*cking politicians care more about their re-elections. AIPAC IS WATCHING………………….

They just finished killing over 100 women and children and these people want to send them more bombs?
They are seriously in the pocket.
*Lightbulb Idea*
When the US of A decides an act of terrorism was caused by Iran, everybody gets on their high horse and starts screaming for Justice. Iran Must Pay! (even if they didn’t do it) These calls for action get translated into reality on account of the Congress, Supreme Court, etc.

Now then, what about if Uncle Joe Biden tells Holy Israel it’s time to pay their bombing victims in Lebanon. That they must compensate the Nabka victims for the thefts and murders. That their US Allowance money will go to Gaza until that place is fully rebuilt.
Then there are the sailors of the USS Liberty. Lots of them were murdered by the Apartheid state, and many more were wounded. Isn’t it about time the shithole state compensated the survivors and the families of the ones they slaughtered?
I sure think so.
Beholden to Israel? : Case study – the USS Liberty
BTW, the 54th anniversary of this attack is coming up June 8. Another commemoration I’d like to see is for somebody to train a pair of vary large dogs to use Lyndon Johnson’s and Robert McNamara’s graves as the place where they do their peeing and pooping. Both these people were instrumental in creating the coverup which continues to this very day.
Enough! No more money for them!
Our beloved treasonous lawmakers…God bless these wonderful souls, who on a daily basis are traitors to the country that they were supposedly elected to represent.
But by their bizarre logic we must continue to fund the the massacre of innocent people who happen to be caught in the middle of this endless conflict between Israel and Hamas.
But WTF we must give more to Israel. The middle east’s only true democracy! Seriously the BS just can’t be heaped on higher!
