    Biden didn’t order this, but he had to know that giving money to Israel would cause this. If he didn’t, he’s a complete fool. We hope this will provoke Biden to declare war on Israel and order destruction of military targets belonging to the IDF, but it probably won’t, and if it doesn’t, well that’s hypocrisy.

      If only diplomacy was that straightforward…

      Israel doesn’t need the money in order to keep doing what they’re doing. USA needs a middle eastern ally more than Israel needs the USA.

      Ukraine, however, would collapse if it weren’t for the money USA is providing (allowing with many other countries).

      This bill that was signed to send money to Israel also provided money to Ukraine. You would not get one without the other.
