I support Israel, but I cannot support the Speaker’s hypocritical move to force an Israel aid package with an ‘offset’ of $14.3 billion in cuts to the IRS that increases the deficit by more than twice that on the backs of hardworking Americans who pay their taxes. Make no mistake: Cutting the IRS may sound good, but it only helps tax cheats. In fact, it helps wealthy tax cheats the most. This bill literally gives more aid to wealthy Americans than to our closest ally in the Middle East. This proposal also sets a dangerous precedent. If every emergency supplemental request must be “offset” by spending cuts, then Congress will quickly find itself unable to respond to global emergencies. Emergency assistance exists to be above politics, but the new Speaker seems to want to put his hard-right politics into everything. Add to the list his choice to simultaneously exclude any humanitarian funding for Gazans, something I have argued is important both for innocent Palestinians and the Israeli mission to eradicate Hamas.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T01:01:09Z
