House G.O.P. Plans Vote on Israel Aid as Senate Tries to Close Broader Deal

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Speaker Mike Johnson pledged Saturday that the House would hold a vote next week on legislation to speed $17.6 billion in security assistance to Israel with no strings attached, a move likely to complicate Senate leaders’ efforts to rally support for a broader package with border security measures and aid to Ukraine.

Surprised Johnson didn’t do this sooner

White House sees House Israel bill as 'a ploy' and 'not ... a serious effort'​

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says that security for Israel "should be sacred" and subject to politics. Sullivan says the White House supports a bipartisan deal underway in the Senate because it would "solve all of the major national security challenges" including support for Ukraine and the southern border.

How so? The Republicans have full support for Israel but will not do a border bill. Just business as usual.

There will be a lot of D no votes…which is probably one of Johnson’s objectives

As well there should. They shouldn't get a blank check when they're doing what they're doing. Politics like usual with the ****ed-up Congress. Too bad Trump is a part of this, but that's why it's so ****ed up.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Doesn't sound very America First, which of course no one will care about. And on a similar note, Israel is an advanced and rich country who are far more powerful than their opponent, do they really need the assistance? Why not charge them for it or at least make it a loan?

Israel has a population of under 10M. Without US support they cease to exist.

 

[h-hawk]

Israel already gets enough money from the US every year-3.3 Billion in 2023. And they are just fighting terrorists. He should bring up the package to aid Ukraine. This decision to help only Israel is very worrying for me-is the House really in Putin's pocket?!

 

[tumorboy]

Thought one of the big GOP talking points was no foreign aid. Unless we take care of the border.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Without the $17.6B they will cease to exist? That's quite the take. Hard to believe that you seem smarter with your laughing emoticon only responses.

Who's going to take them out?

The $ amount is a valid point of debate.



Your post I responded to reads like you want to eliminate assistance.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Who's going to take them out?

Iran and its proxies/allies. It’s their stated goal if you haven’t been paying attention

 

[Moral]

Does Israel need aid? Seems like they are managing ok on Gaza.

You mean the thugs doing Irans bidding? Good luck to them. 🤣

Exactly. Why is aid to Israel sacred?

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Both sides should dig in and say no aid for Israel and no aid for Ukraine until we get some border security.

And, there you go. The only point of this bill. It's DOA in the Senate, and a slap in the face of the bi-partisan work being done in the Senate. This is purely a move by Johnson to serve Orange Jesus, and not any attempt at effective leadership and governance.

Thanks for sharing this.

The Senate Republicans do even agree with the House Republicans on this. I am starting to think that you trolling the far left here has actually affected you.

It’s called politics…surprised he didn’t do it sooner.

Wut?

No multitasking in Congress!

 

[SA_Hawk]

Close the border deal then close the actual border.

He’s the Speaker of the House. He needs to produce something that addresses the situation at the border, or every R in a tough district gets hammered. It might also negatively affect R turnout. Doing nothing is not an option after months of demanding action and describing the situation as a crisis.

Do you think that is a better bill than the one passed by the Senate?

Too hard. Trying too hard.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Hasn’t been passed by the senate yet.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Too hard. Trying too hard.

It’s never “trying too hard” when posting facts.
You’d be the one that’s “trying too hard”.

As per usual

 

[RileyHawk]

Hasn’t been passed by the senate yet.

That has nothing to do with your opinion on each bill, but it is telling.

 

[sober_teacher]

It was a deal agreed to by both parties in senate. It would pass the senate. But Johnson won’t allow it to be voted on in House because it would give Biden a win.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

You said it passed the Senate, it hasn’t.

Looks like a decent bill to me.

Wow. Seriously.

. OK. Still didn't answer the question.

 

[globalhawk]

Wow. Seriously.

@binsfeldcyhawk2 Always a laugh when you can't prove anything. The bill is DOA in the Senate because of the Senate Republicans. You really need to step up your troll game, Faulty.

And?

 

[sober_teacher]

And?

Bins is trying to both-sides this; because one that is a wholly GOP bill vs one that was negotiated b/t both parties is totally the same thing.
