100 members of the U.S. Senate, 17 lawmakers—13 Democrats, three Republicans, and one independent—decided not to join the strong bipartisan support for a letter arguing that Israel should receive increased annual defense aid from America.

Good for them! Israel is a sovereign nation,and we didn't take her to raise.

If this pisses off the wealthy Jews in the US,let them take the money they donate to leftist causes that are destroying this country,and donate it to Israel instead.

The good guys are listed above in the article. The bad guys are on Lindsey Graham's satanic globalist, senate website.

I couldn't agree more. We elect these loons to protect AMERICA,not foreign nations. Not even foreign nations with voters living here with the big bucks to fund political campaigns.

END DUAL CITIZENSHIP'S NOW!

"for America’s “closest Middle East ally.”

Really? Saudi Arabia at least provides us with oil. What has Israel done for us, say, in the last 20 years?

Were they fighting alongside us in the Kuwait war? The war in Iraq? The war in Afghanistan? Did we base out troops there, our tanks, supplies?

We're the ones fighting all of Israel's enemies and they want more money? All the time spitting in our face with their West Bank settlements, building in East Jerusalem, and maintaining an embargo on Gaza.

Early on I was rooting for Israel. Now they're simply acting like bullies. I say cut 'em off. We can't afford them.

If this pisses off the wealthy Jews in the US,

The wealthy Jews in the US are leftist dumbasses who hate Israel and don't think they have a right to exist. They are what Paultards would say are "good Jews."

Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.)

That's wrong, Bernie is an Independent. They've demoted him to Democrat!

He's noted as an Independent in the Senate roll call votes.

That's wrong, Bernie is an Independent.

That's wrong, Bernie is a socialist piece of shit.

There, I fixed it for ya.

We're the ones fighting all of Israel's enemies and they want more money?

Isn't that the bottom line for all pimps?

And let's face reality,here. Israel has been pimping out our country for the last couple of decades.

The wealthy Jews in the US are leftist dumbasses who hate Israel and don't think they have a right to exist.

BullBush! Every one of those SOB also holds an Israeli passport,and the instant any are indicted they will discover a sudden burst of love for Israel,and haul ass for there as fast as their yachts or private jets can take them.

Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.)

That's wrong, Bernie is an Independent. They've demoted him to Democrat!

The media is NOT about to highlight the FACT that someone is a threat to the Dim candidate for the office of president for the Dim Party,while NOT EVEN BEING A DIM.

What does THAT say for the popularity of the designated Dim candidate? This has to be the most unreported news story related to this election season,and EVERYBODY in the media knows it to be a fact,yet not a single one is talking about it. So much for a free and impartial press,huh?

That's wrong, Bernie is an Independent.

That's wrong, Bernie is a socialist piece of shit.

Careful,Bubba! You are coming out of the Clinton supporter closet!

Is it because she supports homosexual police chiefs,or just your "New York State of (alleged) Mind"?

Israel has been pimping out our country for the last couple of decades.

They get around 3-4 billion per year which is a very small fraction of even Israel's military budget. It's hardly like they have to have it. I'm not even sure why it is seen necessary. However, it's hardly a burden on us.

Israel has been pimping out our country for the last couple of decades.

I have no idea what passports they have. I just know that none of them have expressed public support for Israel, and many of them have expressed support support for the scumbag terrorists.

Bernie gets those things right - none of the other Republican candidates does besides Trump.

Bernie's old-style socialism is quaint and wrongheaded, but his foreign policy, trade policy and disdain for crony capitalism makes him a better candidate than any OTHER Republican candidate except Trump.

Fortunately, the Republicans will have Trump. The Democrats will have Hillary. Trump will beat Hillary, and he will do it, in part, with Bernie Sanders supporters.

3 or 4 billion here,3 or 4 billion there,and we are all soon looking for more overtime and cheaper places to live.

Why would you or anyone else doubt that someone you recognize as having dual loyalties can have 3 or more,all conditional and dependent on what is best for THEM AT THAT TIME?

Fortunately, the Republicans will have Trump. The Democrats will have Hillary. Trump will beat Hillary,

If you say so.

and he will do it, in part, with Bernie Sanders supporters.

I agree that Trump will get many Sanders supporters,but it won't be because Trump is a conservative,it will be because Trump is a fascist and fascists are leftists.

I bet they even eat ham sandwiches and go to the club on Saturdays.

And you think that means they don't support Israel?

Seriously?

And you think that means they don't support Israel?

Seriously?

I am just telling you you that all i have seen is they are quite secular and quite leftist. Hell, they even support the so called "Palestinians"

If you think think they are slipping money to Israel under the table, I'd like to see your proof.

Hell, they even support the so called "Palestinians"

That's because they are leftists,and leftists are "contrarions". They just ain't happy unless they are screwing with someone else's life and making everyone else as miserable as they are.

If you think think they are slipping money to Israel under the table, I'd like to see your proof.

Where have I ever made such a claim?

They are supporting Israel for the same reasons they support the Palestinians. They are just contrary by nature,AND.....Israel provides them with a hidey-hole they can't be extradited from if they are ever charged with any crimes. Their wanting Israel to survive is directly related to their own potential survival.

I think Bernie's a nice man

Why is it quaint and wrongheaded?

I think Bernie's a nice man

I think Bernie is well-meaning.

I suppose I could go through the places where his policy prescriptions go astray, but is it really necessary? He's not going to president or Veep. Maybe we can conserve time?
