The House approved a resolution backing Israel and condemning Hamas on Wednesday, the first piece of legislation to clear the lower chamber in more than three weeks because of the extended Speaker stalemate.
The legislation, which spans four pages, was the first measure approved under the leadership of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who clinched the gavel hours before the chamber voted on the resolution. He succeeded former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in the position after the California Republican was ousted from the top job earlier this month.
The House approved the resolution in a 412-10-6 vote, a strong show of support for Israel after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on the U.S. ally Oct. 7, massacring more than 1,000 civilians in the south of the country, kidnapping more than 200 and raining thousands of rockets down across the country.
Great, virtue signalling is so important at this time of crisis. It’s not like we have real issues to deal with.
This ain’t virtue signalling…
Republicans legit support Israel for three reasons:
A fringe Christian belief that for Armageddon the Jewish people need to control Israel and start the first battle.
They want to conflate religion and ethnicity like Israel, and use the existence of Israel as rationale for America being a “Christian nation”.
They really hate Muslims.
Bro… 412 voted yes, meaning like 90% of Democrats also support Israel’s apartheid state and terrorism. Granted, most of them probably only approve due to military industrial complex
bribes“donations”, but that’s only microscopically better than religious fundamentalism or fascism.Well apparently this resolution doesn’t say much more than that israel can defend itself against terrorism, and that Hamas shouldn’t commit terrorism.
Of course there’s a message between the lines but in itself there isn’t much wrong with it
And don’t forget there’s an existential convergence for the US as well, having completely genocided the natives off their land, it would be quite hypocritical for them to condemn others for the light version of it
Heyyy someone read the article. :-)
They might be different domestically but when it comes to foreign policy the US only has the bomb brown people party
