    How many Republicans that have complained about Jewish space lasers will block this bill? Pretty simple question actually.

      Wtf does this phrase “Jewish space lasers” mean? Did you mean to say “Israeli Space Lasers”?

      Israel may have laser systems (iron dome) and they may have satellites in space, but I don’t know about them combined. And, most importantly, Israel is not “Jews”. Conflating the Zionist project with Judaism is antisemitic.

        It’s a phrase that was used by many right wingers in America. Literally blaming lasers in space controlled by Jews for starting massive forest fires.

        It’s a reference to crazy stuff MAGA nutters have said (specifically Muppety Taylor Greene 🤢)

        https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/18/marjorie-taylor-greene-lasers-israel-amendment/ Article is trash, but this is the reference in question
