The $61b is for Ukraine.
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.

I think you are in the wrong thread, friend.

The $21b for Israel was a separate vote. Maybe you should go find a thread about that, unless you are a Tankie just trying to make anything that helps Ukraine look bad, in which case carry on in the most obvious way.

No they are separate packages. It’s not possible to vote on things separately if they are one package.
