O Hezbollah has amassed more than 130K deadly rockets, under the nose of the United Nations mind you, that are sophisticated and can blanket the entire land of Israel with precision. They are unguided and have the singular purpose maiming and killing. O Hamas has a large arsenal of crude rockets that they fire often and randomly throughout Israel.
If the Squad wants to protest treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, why would they give this win to HAMAS and Hezbollah? The small strip of land has enemies on three sides, all funded by Iran, and with very different yet lethal capabilities.This bone-headed move by the Squad makes that nightmare closer to reality for both sides. Were there no protection, Israeli forces would surely have had to recapture Gaza and remove the threat of terrorism, person by person which would have led to more bloodshed and loss of life. The Iron Dome allows Israelis living in undisputed parts of Israel, like Sderot, Tel Aviv and Netanya to be protected from indiscriminate rocket fire from within Gaza. The truth is, Iron Dome has saved scores of Jewish lives and just as many Palestinian lives. The Squad in voting against Iron Dome signaled to the world that Jewish lives matter less.They chose to showboat instead of learning what the US government does and how it operates. Sadly, any good adviser, staffer or just simply 20 minutes of research on Wikipedia could have educated them on this topic. They also are choosing to defund water reclamation, education and refugee assistance which supposedly are core to their mission. The Squad is in effect, choosing to defund American jobs and American companies through their grandstanding anti-Israel legislative decisions. These funds support research towards water preservation, refugee assistance and education. This includes Raytheon, but also includes deals with Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Caterpillar. That means roughly $3B annually of the aid is for products that are ideated and produced in America and used in Israel. Little does the Squad realize that long-standing in the financial support to Israel are jobs that are created in the United States. Even though the Obama administration drafted and implemented a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that supports this aid for ten-years. What will next happen from the Squad, is their inevitable vote against $3.5 B in aid to Israel.Not passing this legislation hurts Israel AND the United States. When funding to protect Israel is requested for these programs, the Squad should do some research on who it is helping and hurting in the process. David’s Sling is a second venture between Raytheon and Rafael and Arrow is an endeavor with Boeing, another American company. In addition to the Iron Dome it includes David Sling and Arrow Defense. Iron Dome is one of a three-tiered program that provides air shield to Israel from attacks from its aggressive neighbors.Defunding it puts US service people at risk. The United States has used the Iron Dome in other regions outside of Israel and will in the future. By denying funding, the Squad was denying support for American based companies. Its research, development and implementation are a shared project between Rafael, based in Israel and Raytheon based in the United States. Iron Dome is a joint venture between the United States and Israel.
There are many things the Squad needs to know to better serve its constituents, both in their district and around the country.
