Honestly I think this is just a bid to get more aid to Ukraine because Republicans are a bunch of numpties and want to give Israel aid but not Ukraine.
A bundle package for both of them is politically one of the best ways to get lethal aid to Ukraine. Individual Republican reps would get demolished by their primary opponents if they vote No on an Israel aid package shortly after a large terrorist attack.
But this is the last time we support a religion-based country in its genocide of another religion-based country, right? Right?
USA for $1000 - This religion based country was supported by the USA in its genocide of another religion based country.
Is that posted right besides “Astronomy for $1000 - This planet orbits our sun.”?
I don’t understand why Israel would need more weaponry in this conflict. Doesn’t make sense to me.
Basically it’s a way to prevent Republicans from voting against Ukraine funding, by bundling them together. Hopefully the amount of Israeli funding is a token amount in comparison to the Ukraine funding. Before the increased conflict in Israel/Palestine broke out, the Biden admin had been floating an idea for a similarly sized bill that would be almost all Ukraine funding. The idea being pass one additional large Ukraine bill to cover their needs for a long time, since republicans are increasingly opposing the small regular bills. So I’m hoping the great majority of this will be for Ukraine, I haven’t been able to find a breakdown yet though.
Israel is rich as fuck.
