FINALLY!!! 10,000,000,000s more dollars to perpetrate mass genocide in Palestine! I love dead children!
Ghoul
The $61b is for Ukraine.
Yeah, and it comes with an additional $26,000,000,000 to continue the mass butchery of innocent men, women, and children in support of a genocide that eclipses what Russia is doing.
It also comes with banning the largest platform for pro-Palestinian content...
I think you are in the wrong thread, friend.
I think you are
The $21b for Israel was a separate vote. Maybe you should go find a thread about that, unless you are a Tankie just trying to make anything that helps Ukraine look bad, in which case carry on in the most obvious way.
It's still one package, mate. The fact that they voted on the Israel part separately is irrelevant when the vote fucking passed anyway.
No they are separate packages. It's not possible to vote on things separately if they are one package.
The foreign aid package passed on Saturday also includes: - $26.4bn (£21.34bn) in military support for Israel, with $9.1bn (£7.36bn) of that allocated to humanitarian aid for Gaza - $8.1bn (£6.55bn) in funding for allies in the Asia-Pacific, including Taiwan, to "counter communist China".

OK Tankie.
Tankie is when you don't support mass genocide.
The same bill included billions for Israel. You can't separate the 2; they're literally the same funding package.
So we aren't allowed to be happy for Ukraine?
I never said you can't; that's your choice to make whether you can compartmentalize these from each other on an emotional level.
But whether you are happy for Ukraine or not, on a factual level you cannot ignore that this bill's passage is also furthering a genocide.
Unless you are openly valuing the lives of Ukranians over the lives of Palestinians, I'm not sure you can say the bill's passage is ultimately a good thing.
That's not even true. The Ukraine funding was voted on separately from the Israel funding. So in this case I will celebrate the help to end one genocide in this thread while going to the appropriate thread to protest the funding of the other.
Ah, good to know. I heard Johnson was aiming to split them into separate bills, but hadn't heard those versions were the ones passed. Most news outlets keep referring to them in the singular, which there was a bill that the Senate was building that was still unified.
