* The stopgap spending bill was supposed to keep the government funded and running through 2022 with a provision to suspend the debt ceiling
* The progressive lawmakers took issue with funds for Israel's defense
* Republican lawmakers are already lambasting Democrats for the abrupt call
* House Democrats are still aiming to get the bill to the floor later today
* House Majority Leader Hoyer told Israel the funds will be sent in the 'near future'
House Democrats removed a provision to give Israel $1 billion toward its Iron Dome defense system from the continuing resolution to keep the government open and funded past September 30 after opposition from the Squad.
The US was forced into crisis talks with Israel in the fallout, with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reportedly telling Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid the removal of funds from the stopgap bill was only a 'technical delay.' Hoyer told Lapid the money would be transferred 'in the near future.'

The Squad are stone cold bigots and anti-semites
Ilhan Omar's father actually worked for the Siad Barre Regime in Somalia. She has no rom to talk.
Real name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi
***She has no room to talk.
If "Meet the Fockers" is a thing, why not twat? There is actually a town called Twat and one would suppose the inhabitants can actually say the word without breaking down hysterically, or being indignant. All it means in Olde English is a clearing in the woods from logging or something. Kind of takes the fun out of the word sort of like explaining a joke.
So sayeth Fred the font of all knowledge, especially the useless.
Hi
Fred here and just stopped by and now some twat claims I wrote a comment at this post.

Doesn't take much to out you, does it.
A foolish or contemptible person.
very apt description of the least knowledgeable person
The fking libtards don't understand the actual costs of removing this from the budget. It means that Israel can no longer afford defensive responses to aggression. They'll have no choice but to obliterate even possible staging areas from which missiles could be launched, because the cost of these defensive missiles is prohibitive without US subsidies. What other choices would they have? So, without realizing it, and in order to make clear their hatred of Israel for "anti-Pali" behavior, they have all but guaranteed that future Israeli responses will be magnitudes greater than it otherwise would have been. On second thought, that works for me.
If the address of these kids was available I'd send each a burqua[?]
Israel is a well-run and successful first world nation, and can afford to fund their own defense. The USA should not bestow funds upon Israel for anything. On that matter, the Squad is correct.
