CONGRESS FAILS TO PASS AID BILL FOR GENOCIDAL MANIAC NETANYAHU
February 8, 2024The United States House of Representatives yesterday rejected a Republican-led bill to provide $17.6bn in assistance to #Israel as a wider bipartisan bill that would also help #Ukraine and ensure more money for border security looked to be in trouble as well.
Critics argued that the bill was a Republican tactic to divert attention from their opposition to a larger bipartisan bill that included funding for Ukraine, border security, and immigration policy.
The vote followed a POWERFUL SPEECH by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib
“Here we go again, sending $17.6 billion in U.S. tax dollars with no conditions attached to Netanyahu’s extremist government to drop more bombs on innocent Palestinians. I’m tired of my colleagues coming to me, whispering, I don’t really like Netanyahu. Well, then why are we sending them billions of dollars with no conditions?”
Prior to the vote, former Speaker, Nancy Pelosi was confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters calling her an “Israeli-apologist”.
You are an Israel apologist! Stop supporting genocide! Stop making money off of genocide! Shame on you!they told her.

English Script:
Rashida Tlaib: Here we go again, sending $17.6 billion, U.S. tax dollars with no conditions attached to Netanyahu’s extremist government to drop more bombs on innocent Palestinians. The Israeli government has already killed 27,000 people. 11,500 them were children. I’m tired of my colleagues coming to me, whispering, I don’t really like Netanyahu. Well, then why are we sending them billions of dollars with no conditions? He literally is telling us over and over again what his intention is. I oppose Netanyahu’s war crimes and want him gone too. But many of my colleagues continue to tell me that they do not want to condition the aid. They give it to a genocidal maniac. My message to my colleagues is simple If you don’t support Netanyahu, if you are disgusted by the countless videos of lifeless children pulled out of the rubble, if you actually believe in upholding human rights and international law, vote NO on a blank check to Netanyahu’s genocide.
Protestors: Don’t call us Russian apologists or Chinese apologists. You are an Israel apologist! You are an Israel apologist! Are you voting yes or no to genocide? Are you gonna vote no on the money? Are you gonna vote no on the money to Israel? Are you gonna vote no? $1 million in stock sales. congratulations on making money off genocide! We’re not Russian sponsored. We’re not from China. We don’t have headquarters in China, our headquarters is right here in the United States, and we don’t want you giving any more money to Israel! You are an Israel apologist! Stop supporting genocide! Stop making money off of genocide! Shame on you!
