I should have known that you are a Qanon crazy. You should study basic civics - bills must be passed by both houses of Congress, then signed by the president (or a vero overidden by a 2/3 majority of both houses), to become law. Just because something makes it out of committee? That doesn't make it law.
Now, let's talk about anti-Semitism.
The federal government spends $19b per day, 365 days a year. Even if the US sent Israel $38b over a decade, that would equal $3.8b per year, which is less than we spend every few hours.
And that $3.8b is a very small amount of just the foreign aid that the US distributes, which is $50b per year. So why would someone only focus on Israel?
Furthermore, the wall not being built has precisely nothing to do with government spending. The Democrats blocked the wall for political reasons. If the US had a surplus, the wall would not have been built either.
Back to foreign aid - the US gives foreign aid to more than 200 countries per year. How many of those countries give anything back to the US? Precious few. Outside of Israel, actually, I don't know if any of them give back. But Israel? Most of the foreign aid they receive is spent right here in the US, providing US manufacturing jobs. And Israel has long provided the US with vital intelligence in relation to countries all over the globe. That is no small point.
Anyone who focuses on aid to Israel as a serious concern either has no understand of the facts, or is driven by anti-Semitism.
