U.S. Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a Republican effort to win quick approval for a bill providing emergency aid to Israel that passed the House of Representatives last week, but that provides no assistance for Ukraine's war against Russia.
They also accused House Republicans of playing politics with the crisis in Israel, delaying aid for the Jewish State by tying support to cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service, a favorite target for Republicans, rather than writing a bipartisan bill.
Regardless of how you feel re: Israel/Palestine, gutting IRS funding as a part of funding Israel’s ongoing military action is absurd.
I agree completely but even if you ignore all the politics of it they’re just such wildly different domains and it’s designed to be rejected on purpose so they can point the finger at democrats and call them anti-Semitic obliquely.

gutting IRS funding is absolutely absurd and you can probably leave it at that
