Two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation that would provide the same employment and economic protections to Americans serving in the Israeli military as US citizens who get deployed to serve in the US military.
The bill, if passed, would amend US law and extend certain protections to include American citizens who serve in the Israeli military.
Those protections include being safe against foreclosure and the repossession of rental property, and would also reduce the interest rates of any loans taken out before their service. It would also protect those Americans from default judgements in legal cases, and grant them job rights and the employment benefits that US veterans receive.
American here: Shit, I’d like to see our own veterans get the care and benefits they’re supposed to be entitled to.
Some vets have been getting screwed over for literal decades after being forced to kill, suffer injury, psychological damage, lose good friends, and regularly risk death all supposedly for our country.
This right here
Veteran here. Yep. I am pretty alright I guess, but I don’t have the time or energy to fight for all the shit I should have gotten. Fuck that. It breaks my shriveled little heart to watch people I served with having to fight tooth and nail to get a new fucking prosthetic because theirs broke and being held together by duct tape, only to have their new one break walking through the damn parking lot on the way out of the VA.
Sorry that happened to you and your friends, that shit isn’t right.
Appreciate it. You’re right, it’s not right. The most fucked up part is the prosthetic is for his leg that he lost IN THE FUCKING WAR.
Let Israel pay for their own veterans.
If it is the same bill I saw earlier it is like a national guard benefit of credit freeze and dept freeze. Also you can come back to the same job and same pay you left with.
Launch these fucking cunts into the sun.
Puerto Rican veterans would like a word…
Overthrow Israel
Childkiller benefits bill. What a fucking stupid fake country this is.
This is how you get those lobby dollars, from a community that spends a lot of lobby dollars
European here.
…Why are there American soldiers in the Israeli military?
If they’re getting the benefits of American soldiers, they should have the obligations of American soldiers too, with the same loyalties
“Leftists” complaining about Biden, where are you? I don’t see you being very vocal against republicans
I literally posted this article
And yet you commented on it in a very neutral tone, without expressing any concern. To me it looks like you agree with it.
Yes I am posting articles about Republicans making insane statements about israel on Lemmy because that’s certainly going to get everyone to vote for them.
…what…?
Like seriously… what the fuck…?
This won’t materialize into anything. Just blah blah blah.
