The U.S. Congress has pushed through a $225 million aid package to replenish Israel’s “Iron Dome” defense system.
While the majority (395) of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of the bill, some (8) voted against the bill, while others (39) didn’t bother to cast their vote.One of those members of Congress absent from the voting on the aid package was Florida Congressman Alan Grayson(D), who was thought to be a staunch supporter of Israel.
So much for being pro-Israel.

While Grayson failed to vote on the measure, his colleague in the House, Congressman Keith Ellison (D), who was sworn in on the Koran, voted ‘Nay.’

In my opinion, Ellison probably voted against the bill because as a devout Muslim and someone advocating for the end of the blockade in Israel, Ellison does not support any defensive or offensive military measures against Islamic nations or Islamic sympathizers“A cease-fire protects civilians on both sides — it doesn’t just say, ‘We’re only concerned about people on one side.’”–Rep. Keith Ellison (D) (Pat Dollard)
