We Send More Money to Israel than we Spend on Homeless Veterans

By Redacted

The State Department sends $3.3 billion in aid to Israel. Far more than what America spends on homeless veterans. Thomas Massie tried to strip that funding through an amendment to H.R. 119-749. The amendment went down in the House, with no Republican voting for it and 104 Democrats backing Massie’s effort to cut the money.

That vote marks a major shift from earlier sessions, when Thomas Massie and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene were the only Republicans voting to end U.S.-taxpayer-funded aid to Israel. Now the split is showing up more clearly across U.S. primaries, where pro-war, AIPAC-backed candidates are increasingly getting knocked off course.

The bigger picture is hard to ignore: more members of Congress are finally treating Israel aid as a live issue instead of automatic policy. And while the establishment still has the votes for now, the political ground is clearly moving underneath them.
