Senator Daines condemned Biden’s decision to place conditions on aid to Israel. In his 5/9/2024 press release, he says, “The choice is simple: You’re either for Israel or you’re for Iran and their desire to exterminate Jews around the world.” The aid was approved by the House and Senate by an overwhelming bipartisan fashion. He continued, “Well, welcome to Joe Biden’s America.”
After walking the campus of George Washington University, which is ground zero for pro-Hamas encampment “with tents as far as the eye can see”. Daines met with Jewish students and a rabbi. “They are afraid to even walk on their campus.” “later that night, the pro-Hamas protesters went to the university administrators’ and the president’s home and called for the beheading of some of them and leaders at GW. I didn’t think I’d live to see the day of this going on in our university campuses. Joe Biden did nothing.”
Daines continued, “And then the lethal aid that Joe Biden said he wanted to provide Israel, it’s now on hold. Why is that on hold? To appease his liberal base in places like Dearborn, Michigan, because Joe Biden’s in trouble in Michigan.” … “It’s not going to help Israel win the war. It’s not going to help to get our hostages home. Mr. President, Afghanistan was bad enough. Now you’re going to leave more Americans stranded and in the hands of terrorists.”
Rep. Tores (D-NY) said, “America cannot claim that its commitment to Israel is ‘iron-clad’ and then proceed to withhold aid from Israel”.
