The House has approved a nearly $14.5 billion in military aid package for Israel, but without humanitarian assistance for Gaza. The partisan approach by new Speaker Mike Johnson posed a direct challenge to Democrats and President Joe Biden.

This bill is DOA according to the Senate.

“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has warned that the “stunningly unserious” bill has no chances in the Senate.”

    I’m trying to understand, are the house Republicans against aid to Israel or do they just not understand how negotiation works? Their position seems to be “I won’t agree to this thing that I want unless you also agree to this other thing that I want.” Do they not understand that attaching an unrelated toxic thing to something that would otherwise pass puts them in the position of functionally opposing the thing that there is broad agreement on?
