Senators introduce another bipartisan bill to give Israel billions of dollars

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The new bill is expected to contain the same financial provisions as the previous one: solidifying into federal law a 2016 Memorandum of Understand (MOU) with Israel procured by the Obama administration, which had been a non-binding agreement, while changing the $38 billion in the MOU from a floor to a ceiling.

Given the influence of the Israel lobby, that change would likely lead to an increased amount of US tax money going to Israel in coming years, possibly even in 2020.

The bill text said it was “the largest single pledge of assistance ever.” The money works out to $7,230 per minute to Israel, and equals about $23,000 per each Jewish Israeli family of four.

The aid is broken into two parts: $33 billion in direct military aid and $5 billion in certain weapons programs.

The previous bill also required NASA to cooperate with Israel’s space agency, despite accusations of Israeli espionage, and some additional perks. It is unknown if those provisions are also in this year’s legislation.

🙀 Aerospace Commander: IRGC Cut US MQ-9 Drones’ Communication in Electronic Warfare (video)

“An operation that we did not disclose anything about it after the IRGC’s missile attacks and was conducted by using special equipment we had prepared in advance was an important electronic warfare operation that started about 15 minutes after missile attack; we brought all drones flying over Ain al-Assad military base out of US troops’ control for some moments and cut their communication and image links which terrified the Americans,” General Hajizadeh said on Thursday, addressing a press conference to elaborate on IRGC missile attacks on the US military base.

He noted that following the IRGC’s missile attacks, the most important need of the Americans was to understand the extent of the losses which were instantly monitored by the cameras of eight MQ-9 drones, and said, “When the aircraft were out of US control their morale was much more lowered than the missile attacks.”
