I like this because then we can see who votes against it and know definitively who does and does not support this ongoing genocide
I'd say fence-sitting this vote is even more an indictment than just a "No" vote personally; it doesn't take a MENSA candidate to tell whether or not funding a genocidal morass of settlers is morally correct
Yeah, saying ‘no comment’ to stopping a thing we’re already doing is just adding a meaningless word after the ‘no’
That is a perfectly clear message for me actually.
It's about opposing genocide or not. "Do nothing knowing that will cause the genocide to continue" is close enough to "continue the genocide" for me.
Someone will add something to the bill that will give any who need it an excuse to vote against.
and any who take it can be safely counted as monsters in support of a genocide, fuck what they say after the fact
Expect that "something" added to be a thing that makes the bill a non-starter. Something like 'no assistance to Ukraine' or 'passport required to vote' or 'federal abortion pill ban', etc.
I wonder how many of those who complain about "Jewish space lasers" will suddenly want to vote against this?
How many Republicans that have complained about Jewish space lasers will block this bill? Pretty simple question actually.
Wtf does this phrase "Jewish space lasers" mean? Did you mean to say "Israeli Space Lasers"?
Israel may have laser systems (iron dome) and they may have satellites in space, but I don't know about them combined. And, most importantly, Israel is not "Jews". Conflating the Zionist project with Judaism is antisemitic.
It's a phrase that was used by many right wingers in America. Literally blaming lasers in space controlled by Jews for starting massive forest fires.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/18/marjorie-taylor-greene-lasers-israel-amendment/ Article is trash, but this is the reference in question
If 80 senators decide the vote should be anonymous then it could be, right? Normally i don't think that'd be possible but for something AIPAC hold so dear i could see it

A voice vote would provide that anonymity and may be the path the senate goes down since then the official votes aren't counted, but idk if that is paperwork that happens later.
Too bad the vote won't happen until after the election, if it ever happens at all.
