September 23, 2021- (US House of Representatives) voted on the largest amount ever given to Israel, under emergency funding, over $1 Billion, a 140x increase to the amounts previously given, beginning with President Barack Obama (D). (This is added to the amount already allocated to Israel for the year, over $3 Billion)
All of this during a US economic crisis, record spending, record borrowing, and "pandemic". Fuck every single one of those who voted in any way other than against. What happened to "America First"?
Fuck Republicans! Fuck Democrats! Fuck Israel!
