The $21b for Israel was a separate vote. Maybe you should go find a thread about that, unless you are a Tankie just trying to make anything that helps Ukraine look bad, in which case carry on in the most obvious way.
The foreign aid package passed on Saturday also includes:
- $26.4bn (£21.34bn) in military support for Israel, with $9.1bn (£7.36bn) of that allocated to humanitarian aid for Gaza
- $8.1bn (£6.55bn) in funding for allies in the Asia-Pacific, including Taiwan, to “counter communist China”.

It’s still one package, mate. The fact that they voted on the Israel part separately is irrelevant when the vote fucking passed anyway.
No they are separate packages. It’s not possible to vote on things separately if they are one package.

OK Tankie.
Tankie is when you don’t support mass genocide.
