House Democrats stripped $1 billion for Israel's Iron Dome defense system from the House government funding bill after pushback from far-left progressives like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, and Mark Pocan who threatened to vote against this bill if it included funding for the Iron Dome.
Let me be as clear as possible. This is outrageous. The Iron Dome is a DEFENSIVE system that protects innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives. The Iron Dome has one purpose – to protect civilians. Their action to oppose the funding is offensive and puts innocent lives at risk, on both sides of the conflict.
