Israel used thousands of missiles in May while defending itself against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/numbers-from-israels-guardian-of-the-walls-shows-palestinian-terrorists-took-a-drubbing-from-the-idf\">Palestinian terrorist attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is expected to make the $1 billion available for Israel for the next two years should Israel decide that it still needs the funding for \u201cthe acquisition, enhancement, maintenance, and sustainment of the Iron Dome defense system to counter short-range rocket threats.\u201d The bill\u2019s co-sponsors are Kay Granger (R-TX), Ranking Member on the Appropriations Committee; Mike Rogers (R-AL), Ranking Member on the Armed Services Committee; and Michael McCaul (R-TX), Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The move to fund Israel\u2019s Iron Dome comes as Democrats have had to again deal with another anti-Semitic outburst from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) this week.<\/p>\n<p>Omar said during an interview with CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper that she did not regret comparing the U.S. and Israel to terrorist organizations, and then she lashed out at Jewish lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ilhan-omar-dont-regret-equating-us-israel-taliban-hamas-cnn\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p><em>Omar then proceeded to blame Jewish lawmakers who find her history of anti-Israel remarks offensive, telling Tapper, \u201cI\u2019ve welcomed any time my colleagues [have] asked to have a conversation to learn from them, for them to learn from me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But, she continued, \u201cI think it\u2019s really important for these [House] members to realize that they haven\u2019t been partners in justice. They haven\u2019t been [equally] engaging in seeking justice around the world, and I think I will continue to do that. It is important for me as someone who knows what it feels like to experience injustice in ways that many of my colleagues don\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Omar was slammed by Jewish organizations for the anti-Semitic outburst, which is just the latest example in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ocasio-cortez-omar-tlaib-take-democrats-anti-ryan-saavedra\">long history<\/a> of anti-Semitic remarks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/13\/politics\/pelosi-ilhan-omar-democrats-cnntv\/index.html\">said<\/a> a couple of weeks ago that she \u201cdid not rebuke\u201d Omar for comparing the U.S. and Israel to terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.526315789474\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shocking \u2013 Ilhan Omar refusing to take ANY accountability for her obscene antisemitism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Instead she has the audacity to blame Jewish members of Congress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When will this vile bigot finally be censured and properly reprimanded by her party?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enough is enough! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hsj1v6u4yI\">https:\/\/t.co\/hsj1v6u4yI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 StopAntisemitism.org (@StopAntisemites) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StopAntisemites\/status\/1410017884995264516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It is unclear what steps Democrat lawmakers have taken to help replenish Israel\u2019s Iron Dome missiles as they have been obsessed with creating a commission to investigate the January 6 riot while <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/549760-pelosi-jan-6-commission-must-focus-on-jan-6\">resisting<\/a> calls to investigate antifa and Black Lives Matter for the billions of dollars in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/riots-cost-property-damage-276c9bcc-a455-4067-b06a-66f9db4cea9c.html\">damage<\/a> inflicted on U.S. cities last summer. Rep. John Katko (R-NY), who initially supported a bipartisan commission to investigate the riot, has since slammed Pelosi\u2019s plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/gop-lawmaker-backed-1-6-commission-blasts-pelosi-skewed-select-committee-1605021\">calling<\/a> it a \u201cturbo-charged partisan exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics have suggested that the commission is intended to be, in part, a distraction from how the Democrats are struggling. The Washington Post\u2019s Henry Olsen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2021\/06\/30\/swing-state-voter-polling-democrats\/\">wrote<\/a> on Wednesday that voters were flashing all sorts of warning signs to Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterms. Recent polling has shown that Democrat President Joe Biden is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-approval-rating-plummets-democrats-growing-disillusioned-and-fast-with-direction-of-nation-report\">losing<\/a> significant ground with voters, especially Democrats, and a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/people-feel-treated-like-s-kamala-harris-runs-abusive-office-biden-team-concerned-report-says\">report<\/a> on Wednesday said that Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 office was in a state of chaos.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
