On Wednesday, Just the News posted an article about a recent vote in the House of Representatives on an amendment to the State Department’s spending bill which would have eliminated funds for Israel.

The article reports:

Nearly half of Democrats in the House of Representatives on Wednesday rebuked Israel by voting to end aid to the United States ally, even though the measure to cut off aid still failed because of massive Republican support. 

The measure, which was an amendment to the State Department’s spending bill, would have eliminated $3.3 billion in funding for Israel but failed in a 314-104 split, according to Politico. Ten lawmakers voted “present.” 

The vote still marked a significant change in support for Israel among Democrats, who have had to deal with blowback from liberal voters regarding Israel’s handling of the conflict against Hamas. In 2024, just 37 Democrats voted to pull U.S. funding from Israel. 

Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton stated:

“We simply cannot continue to condone [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s actions that are against our moral conscience and our own national security interests by perpetuating the status quo,” he said in a statement.

Where was your moral conscience on October 7th? Where was your moral conscience when Hamas was shooting people who showed up to collect food from the United Nations trucks? Were was your moral compass when kindergarten children in Gaza were being trained as martyrs? I think your moral compass is very selective.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Fox News reported:

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has “no plans” to leave the Democratic Party but if it officially became the “anti-Israel party,” count him out.

“My long-term concern has been with the Democratic Party, as I am a member of that, is that our party is going to back away and turn their back to Israel,” he said Wednesday at the Hill Nation Summit in Washington, D.C.

“If our party ever becomes, and just makes it official, the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me.”

Sorry, Senator, I think your party is already there. As the Democrat party moves left and drifts into the coalition between Marxism and Islam, there will be more opposition to supporting Israel. That is unfortunate, but it is the way things are going.

We need to remember:

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” – Genesis 12:3
