The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.
It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.
This was a performative act to drive the narrative. She looks a fool cause she didn’t realize the party only follows along to orders from the top (i.e. not her).
And y’all are still playing into it. So it’s working anyways. WTF

IIRC it was to cut defensive weapon funding ie. Iron Dome. Offensive weapons weren’t being touched.
