Hardline America Firster and staunch Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene voted alongside progressive Democrat Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar to strip Israel of $500m in US funding, hours after it bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.

The House of Representatives, however, rejected in a 422-6 vote on Thursday, to cut funding for the Israeli Cooperative Program - an agreement through which the US provides Israel with $500m to boost its missile programmes.

It is a separate allocation from the $3.3bn the US sends Israel as “security assistance” every year.

      She’s MAGA (AKA a Nazi-fetishist), so the motivations are most definitely Jewish-hatred.

        Yes, it’s wild that the only politicians criticizing Israel are doing it for the wrong reason.

        Except for Spain. I think Spain is the only country doing the right thing here for the right reason. Go Spain! And South Africa. Shame on everyone else.
