Wow, my rep is actually on the right side of something for once. I absolutely don't want to know his reasoning for voting no because I'm sure it's unhinged.

Thomas Massie has been consistently against any of the symbolic declarations of support for Israel for a while, to the point where AIPAC tried to run a smear campaign against him with his face in a black and white poster with the Words "Jew Hater" written underneath. I think he responded by declaring it election interference, but nothing came of it (obviously) but the guy somehow managed to stay seated.

Edit: Misspelled the freaks name

Edit: I was wrong fucking stupid reasoning.

Critical support either way. Somebody has the balls to stand up to aipac at least.

you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to a libertarian US senator. he supports Israel's "right to exist," he just doesn't think it's antisemitic to disagree. average libertarian contrarian tantrum where he affirms all the premises of the institutions but rejects one of the conclusions based on a piddling technicality, thereby ensuring that everyone yells at him and he preserves his outsider veneer without actually having to affect anything or stand for something.

basically the right wing version of Bernie.

ngl that's marginally better than what i thought it'd be (him just being so openly antisemitic that he cant bring himself to suppoer israel even if they are genociding other people he hates)

I think MTG is the current record holder for antisemitism in a national representative, and she supports Israel. /pol/ twerps might be able to win the election for comptroller in Dogfuck, Idaho, but they do nothing for anyone at the federal level.
