Nearly half of all Democrats in the House of Representatives voted Wednesday to cut off US military aid to Israel, a move that underscored a dramatic shift away from the US support the Mideast ally has enjoyed for nearly 60 years.

While House lawmakers ultimately rejected Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-Ky.) amendment to a national security spending bill that would have eliminated the $3.3 billion in annual foreign military financing provided to Israel’s military, the details of the vote were viewed as an encouraging sign by defenders of Palestine and the rule of law.

Massie and 103 Democrats voted for the measure, while 215 Republicans and 98 Democrats rejected it. The overall tally was 104 for, 314 against, and 10 "present" votes, with 9 absences.

Oh shit you really addressed and dismantled the content of my comment! Look at you go little fella!

Pfffffffft pot calling the kettle black much, imperialist nation's soldiers (such as America) will rape and pillage your country and then make a movie/write a book on how sad and traumatized it made them bombing/shooting/maiming school children.

The true bootlicker here is you, if you think the democrats will save you you are so fucking naive I don't even know where to begin. You only want what is best for the imperial core, my heart goes beyond that. Liberals truly believe the "if kamala won we'd be out at brunch", their care begins and ends with Americans. Not even that, only wealthy americans.

Please inform me on how Kamala would have saved the Palestinians. How she would have stopped the harvesting of valuable resources from countries the U.S. has impoverished. How she would have halted the unethical Cuban embargo. How the U.S. goverments constant rifling and pillaging of the middle east for itself and Israel would have stopped at her.

At the very least inform yourself on the very treatlerite boot you gnaw and suckle on before accusing others (this is only a fraction of a fraction of the ferocious behavior from the west):
