US House Republicans unveil bill to fund Israel by cutting IRS budget

Good. Let’s start cutting the fat to pay for what actually more important.

That's not what quid pro quo means.

And I fully support this plan. New spending needs to be offset by cuts elsewhere. The "we'll just print more" mentality has GOT to stop.

Either we shift existing funds from someplace else to new priorities, or that new priority just isn't that important.

Israel actually is not a separate matter from Ukraine. Russian pogroms aimed at Jewish folks who primarily lived in Ukraine filled up Palestine during the Ottoman Empire with Jewish refugees because of the antisemitism. They were welcomed in Palestine.

A repeat of that these days without enough space in Israel for all the refugees will cause expansion of settlements into Palestinian land. Maybe all the dual citizen Israel/Americans need to pay taxes in both places to soften the blow to the IRS?

A quick check tells us exactly that.

Times of Israel in 2022 says: https://www.timesofisrael.com/nearly-half-of-ukrainians-who-fled-to-israel-have-left-the-country-report/
"Since the start of Russia's invasion of their country in February, a total of 33,000 Ukrainians fled to Israel". Only "14,000 have since departed for other countries".
In the past new immigrants and temporary residents have been housed, free, in new illegal settlements built on Palestinian land . . .
