I wonder how many of those who complain about "Jewish space lasers" will suddenly want to vote against this?

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 reference to crazy stuff MAGA nutters have said (specifically Muppety Taylor Greene 🤢)
