“This is a good first step. This bill is essential for our national security, for the security of our friends in Ukraine, in Israel, for humanitarian aid for innocent civilians in Gaza, and for Taiwan,” Schumer said in the Senate after the vote.
Wait... enhance.

"in Israel, for humanitarian aid for innocent civilians in Gaza"
Dear sweet fucking jesus. It is Israel that is killing innocents in Gaza. What kind of mental gymnastics make this statement coherent? You are funding Israel, Israel is creating the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The absolute cognitive dissonance and lies.
Separately, the bill contains provisions for $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, amongst other places.
Which itself is absurd, but in a slightly different way.
Why is that absurd?
Shipping aid that is actively being destroyed by the Israelis is... an interesting way to piss away money.
true but the govt routinely pisses away way more money just to say they sorta tried to do something good… recall how the phone companies were supposed to run fiber internet all over the US
So when I have a lynching problem in the south, if I give 9 billion to the KKK, but give .15 billion for neosporin to rope-burn victims in the south, I am endorsing a first step worth taking?
Fuck Shumaker, and the rest of the Fed.
Too little too late.
They're funding both sides, so they always come out on top.
The bill authors are fully aware. It's not cognitive dissonance, it's just lying.
