Senate Committee slips through $38 billion package to Israel

By wmw_admin on May 24, 2020

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee secretively passed a bill yesterday to give Israel a minimum of $38 billion over the next ten years despite the ongoing devastation to the US economy by coronavirus policies.

The bill – S.3176 – will now go before the full Senate. Since the legislation has already been passed by the House of Representatives, if the Senate passes the bill, it will then go to the president to be signed into law.

The bill was passed by the committee under two unusual circumstances and with almost no public awareness.

First, Senate Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R-Idaho) refused to allow a livestream of the meeting, despite the fact that the Senate Rules panel had recommended that extra efforts be taken to ensure public transparency while the Capitol is closed to the public and the presence of reporters is severely limited. The Senate’s Press Gallery Standing Committee of Correspondents had objected strongly to Risch’s decision.

Second, the bill was passed without being named, debated, or even discussed, even though it would set into law the largest such aid package in U.S. history. There has been no US mention of the bill by US mainstream media.

The massive package is particularly noteworthy in light of the current devastation to the American taxpayers who will be footing the bill – over $10 million per day. In recent months approximately 30 million Americans have lost jobs, 100,000 small businesses have already closed forever, and over seven million are at risk of doing so.

The bill was voted on as part of a package of 15 bills that were voted on “en bloc” (all together).

To give credit where due, from 'follow the money' doctrine standpoint, at least there is loyalty and consistency even if some GOPA bases (non-gullibles wing) may get 'fooled me twice' in the pocess :

That should secure the evangelist vote. Is this entirely to ensure their version of the end times can play out?

Both parties voted for the Bill more then spending time for Americans who lost their jobs.

Business as usual. And are those Republicans I see doing this particular bit of business as usual?

This is a unique and historic time in US political history wrt global foreign aid regime. Democratic Party, that Trump used to fund, has been traditionally called 'party of Israel'. But with current POTUS (who these days identifies as Republican) also being a strong champion of our closet ally in mideast (and him being a member of a Jewish family, his richest top donor being a former Israeli military member, his son in law being funder of Jewish settlements in holyland), this is particularly blessed time for our closest ally in the world. Old stereotypes about many GOP base Christians being 'anti-smites' deep down no longer hold especially with ongoing transformation of the party.

Foxnews' Iraqi freedom war championing resident nasal neocon is usually wrong on almost everything but he made this fascinating statement about MAGA First leader:

Mark Levin calls Trump 'first Jewish president'

So move over Obama, there is Obama 2.0 a new well-funded POTUS in the White Home.



And to be fair, Congressional members of both parties are also generally very well funded. Recent WaPo article had made the shocking claim that 2/3rd of Dems all political funding came from Jewish donors (have not validated this claim that could be fakenews considering that US has only 2-3% Jewish population).
