US states and territories that boycott Israeli companies or those operating in Israel will be denied federal funds for natural disaster preparation, Reuters reported on Monday.
This $1bn allocation, which will apply to 15 different grant programmes, is part of the “Notices of Funding Opportunity amounting to more than $2.2 billion available to state, local, tribal and territorial governments to help them protect American citizens”, Fema states on its website.
However, Reuters said at least $1.9bn of this funding was conditional on states following Department of Homeland Security conditions laid out in April, saying states will not cut “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies or companies doing business in or with Israel” to qualify, according to 11 agency grant notices it reviewed.
Has anyone beat me to saying that this guy is a cunt yet? If not… He’s an absolute fucking cunt.
He thinks it’s all of his own money to do what he wants with, and he’s not wrong because the republicans won’t stop him.
Don’t play his game of extortion, then. Those states should withhold sending tax revenue to the federal government, and use it to build their own disaster relief funds.
It doesn’t work that way, for this reason.
Individuals and businesses send federal taxes directly to the IRS, it would have to be a concerted effort, and each tax (non)payer would be at risk of penalties for tax evasion (fines or prison time).
United States /s
More like Divided States
Almost like Israel’s spy apparatus has kompromat on him so severe that Trump is willing to allow tens of millions of women and children to be murdered to appease them.
America… distant second.
👏Our👏Administration👏wants👏to👏kill👏us👏
I mean, let’s be honest: they’ll look for an excuse to cut it anyway. Even if that excuse is “because we can and DEI somehow”
