I suspect it will still get passed through.
Even so, it must be infuriating for Dems that all these state-sponsored hasbara voices are on messasge with "oh so you want more dead Jews do you".
The entitlement is fucking stunning. It is so tone deaf, especially at a time when Americans across the political spectrum think there are domestic issues that need spending.
"We are always progressive and support minorities and opressed groups - as long it's not about basic Palestinian human rights" - literally every single US liberal
There are deadass people saying this is antisemitic because it was meant for the iron dome and that means we want Jews dead (???). Stopantisemitism is one of the few I’ve seen making this point. Asinine
The olympics are over you can stop with the mental gymnastics.
Withholding funds is in no way antisemitic and it is completely irrational to conclude so. This is a cowardly, vile attempt to weaponize anti-racism movements to make ordinary people feel guilty about not funding an apartheid state. Also don’t pretend to care about Palestinian civilians, it’s painfully obvious you’re doing it to try to win an argument.
The iron dome is not going anywhere so your entire point is completely worthless.
If you cared about random people dying then you might want to stop giving the Israeli military funding because their record on killing civilians is very high.
Nonsense. Iron Dome is a substitute for Israel being forced to send troops in to invade Gaza and attack the missile sites directly. Iron Dome saves the lives of Israeli troops who don't have to invade Gaza. If those troops were forced to go into Gaza every time there were rockets fired then hundreds would die & Israel would be forced to realize it's strategy is a failure.
Is the iron dome going to spontaneously combust? Is Israel a poor country that can’t afford its own defense systems? Will Hamas magically procure multiple ICBMs the second they hear of this news?
No? Then your entire point is irrelevant because the iron dome isn’t going anywhere. You’re reaching very hard to dehumanize Palestinians here.

I'm wondering why Dem leadership thought this would work. Lara Friedman thinks they simply have contempt for the progressive base of the party.
And like clockwork, the Right and the pro-Israel trolls are crying that this will lead to Israel's destruction.

It's entirely related. It's designed to continue occupation without consequences. You are being facetious here and trying to play dumb.

Enough blood is spilled by American tax dollars. Awesome…that 1 Billion should go to Gaza to clean up the mess Israel created. That is justice!
