    This was included in a funding bill. If that wouldn’t pass the government would shut down. You can blame Republicans for those extra things added.

      I’ve been hearing this excuse for like a decade now.

      Shutting down the government to refuse weapon sales to Israel would be a good thing, goddammit. I’d feel that maybe there’s a shred of humanity left in those ghouls if they had.

        Yeah, let’s hurt others for your own protest. Maybe you should do your own hunger strike?

      Good. A government that needs to commit genocide to even function shouldn’t exist.

      Imagine trying to use that as an excuse to fund genocide.

      You can blame Republicans

      Biden has been bypassing congress to send “israel” weapons faster.

      People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

      If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.
