The same bill included billions for Israel. You can’t separate the 2; they’re literally the same funding package.
So we aren’t allowed to be happy for Ukraine?
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.
That’s not even true. The Ukraine funding was voted on separately from the Israel funding. So in this case I will celebrate the help to end one genocide in this thread while going to the appropriate thread to protest the funding of the other.
