I would support a drawdown of aid across the board.

I would not support a plan that would make Israel more aggressive. That is what this MTG amendment would do.

The idea that taking away their armor makes them more aggressive is just nonsense.

You are arguing that we should directly fund genocide here. You are sitting here saying that the American taxpayers should pay to murder children. Please be honest with yourself that's what you're arguing.
