    The same bill included billions for Israel. You can’t separate the 2; they’re literally the same funding package.

        I never said you can’t; that’s your choice to make whether you can compartmentalize these from each other on an emotional level.

        But whether you are happy for Ukraine or not, on a factual level you cannot ignore that this bill’s passage is also furthering a genocide.

        Unless you are openly valuing the lives of Ukranians over the lives of Palestinians, I’m not sure you can say the bill’s passage is ultimately a good thing.

            Ah, good to know. I heard Johnson was aiming to split them into separate bills, but hadn’t heard those versions were the ones passed. Most news outlets keep referring to them in the singular, which there was a bill that the Senate was building that was still unified.
