Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) admitted on Tuesday that a sizable number of Democrats are constantly on the look out for ways to attack to the state of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin made the remarks on social media after Democrat leaders removed a provision from a short-term government spending bill to help fund Israel\u2019s Iron Dome which protects its citizens from terrorist attacks like the ones out of Gaza earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has never a situation where military aid for Israel was held up because of objections from members of Congress,\u201d Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/democrats-iron-dome-government-funding-2e81d2d4-8001-4f97-a4cc-23c1db6b3c17.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cWhile the funding will get a vote in its current defense bill, the clash underscores the deep divisions within the Democratic party over Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin then took to Twitter to address the issue, saying that the anti-Israel policy positions of some in her party were \u201cdevoid of substance\u201d and that they were \u201cirresponsible.\u201d She did not call out any specific member of her party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIron Dome is a purely *defensive* system \u2014 it protects civilians when hundreds of rockets are shot at population centers. Whatever your views on the Israeli-Pal conflict, using a system that just saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives as a political chit is problematic,\u201d Slotkin said. \u201cIron Dome, like other missile defense systems, was co-developed by the US and Israel. The research that went into the design of this system is shared between our two countries and can be used to protect our bases abroad, in addition to Israeli civilians in their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContinued financial support of Iron Dome was part of the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding negotiated by President Obama. This isn\u2019t new funding, or unusual funding, or a precipitous increase in funding,\u201d she continued. \u201cAll of this is publicly-available information. So to target Iron Dome now means the issue isn\u2019t a genuine concern over the system, but rather the desire to attack something \u2013 anything \u2013 related to the State of Israel; it\u2019s devoid of substance and irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin\u2019s decision to speak out her party\u2019s growing anti-Israel policies comes after she previously refused to answer questions back in 2019 about whether Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) should face consequences for their repeated instances of anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.4018404907975\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Another day, another freshman Democrat refusing to stand up to anti-Semitic hate.

It needs to be replenished because thousands of rockets were fired by the Hamas terrorists who control Gaza. Consider this my pushing back against this decision,\u201d Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepTedDeutch\/status\/1440368182045200393\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter. \u201cLast December, the House voted to fund missile defense for our ally Israel. Since then, Iron Dome has saved the lives of Israelis and Palestinians when Hamas fired 4,300 rockets. Missile defense saves the lives of people terrorists want to kill.&nbsp; That\u2019s why we must support it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
