The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would force President Joe Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect civilians during its war with Hamas.
The Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. Sixteen Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, and three Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
The act is not expected to become law, but its passage underscored the deep U.S. election-year divide over Israel policy as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government seeks to wipe out militants who attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
It’s the narrative here too. “both sides just as bad”
There was an article a day or two ago about Biden approving a $1 billion arm package to Israel. He also condemned the university protests. He’s also been defending Israel at the UN. This is barely anything.
Criticizing Biden doesn’t mean Trump doesn’t suck. It just means people expect better of Biden. If Mussolini and Hitler were on the ballot you couldn’t expect people to be excited for Mussolini.
Comparing Trump and Biden to Hitler and mussolini. Yeah, that’s a both sides moment
