For the second time, the House GOP has tried to use Israel as a political football, playing partisanship with Israel's security.  Republicans have sought to delay any funding for Ukraine or to address border security, and as an attempt to undermine a bipartisan deal, proposed a stand alone Israel funding bill.

House GOP have sought to add poison pills to other bills, pulling out humanitarian provisions from a bill that sought to limit Hamas aid (HR 340).  They also tried to tie Ukraine and Israel funding to cutting IRS funding, which would only help tax cheats.

These cynical ploys are bad for Israel, bad for our national security and bad for our country.
