Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced an amendment to H.R. 8595, the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027, that would have eliminated $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel.
The amendment would have barred any funds in the bill from being obligated or spent on Israel and stripped $3.3 billion from the Foreign Military Financing account, the mechanism through which Israel receives the bulk of its annual U.S. assistance under a 10-year, $38 billion memorandum of understanding signed in 2016. It would not have touched the separate $500 million Israel receives annually for missile defense systems such as Iron Dome.
The House rejected the measure by a vote of 314 to 104. Massie was the only Republican to support his own amendment, joined by 103 Democrats, while 98 Democrats voted with the rest of the GOP against it and 10 Democrats voted present. “Though my amendment to strike $3.3 billion in aid to Israel from the State Dept Approps bill did not pass, 104 House Members voted in favor of it,” Massie wrote on X after the vote.
The split exposed a divide among House Democrats, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposing the cut while Assistant Leader Katherine Clark supported it. Representative Greg Landsman of Ohio argued the amendment was “really bad for our ally, for our national security,” while Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas said on the floor that “if we hope to change Israel’s behavior, we must use our leverage.”

I consider Netanyahu the Israeli equivalent of Trump. I don't support what he's doing in Israel any more than I support what Trump is doing in America. That does not make me an anti-Semite or anti-American.

I’m proud of Thomas Massie for standing up to this corrupt administration. However, people that go against Israel seem to suddenly suffer from fatal incidents.

<핵심 내용 요약>
켄터키주 하원의원 토머스 매시(Thomas Massie)는 2027 회계연도 국무부 세출안(H.R. 8595)에 대해 이스라엘에 지원되는 연간 33억 달러 규모의 군사 원조(FMF)를 전액 삭감하는 수정안을 발의했다
. 해당 수정안은 미사일 방어 체계(아이언 돔 등) 지원금 5억 달러는 제외하고 순수 군사 원조 33억 달러만을 삭감 대상으로 삼았다
. 표결 결과 찬성 104표 대 반대 314표로 부결되었다
. 공화당에서는 발의자인 매시 의원 단 1명만 찬성했고 민주당 의원 103명이 찬성표를 던졌으며, 반대표는 공화당 전원과 민주당 98명이 던졌다(기권 10명) . 이 표결을 통해 민주당 지도부 내부의 분열(원내대표 하킴 제프리스 반대 vs 부대표 캐서린 클라크 찬성)과 대이스라엘 정책을 둘러싼 민주당 내 노선 갈등이 드러났다
. 온라인 여론(댓글 반응)에서는 세금 낭비에 대한 불만과 함께 매시 의원의 소신 행보를 지지하는 목소리가 나타났다
.
<평론 및 분석>
<1. 고립주의 우파와 진보 좌파의 이례적 전선 형성>
토머스 매시 의원은 공화당 내에서도 대표적인 자유지상주의(Libertarian) 성향의 고립주의자로, 대외 원조와 불필요한 해외 개입에 일관되게 반대해 왔다. 이번 표결에서 공화당 내에서는 단 한 표의 찬성만 나온 반면, 민주당에서 103표의 찬성이 나온 점은 매우 역설적이다
<2. 민주당 내부의 심화되는 균열>
이번 표결은 특히 민주당 내의 대이스라엘 시각 차이를 적나라하게 보여주었다
<3. 여론과 의회 정치 간의 괴리>
댓글 반응에서 확인되듯 미국 내 일반 유권자들 사이에서는 "국내 경제가 어려운 상황에서 왜 막대한 혈세를 특정 국가에 무상 군사 원조로 쏟아부어야 하는가"라는 피로감이 점차 확산되고 있다
