Yesterday, a tweet went viral that claimed that the COVID-19 relief bill included $500 million for Israel. It was designed to make people think that aid that could have gone to COVID is instead being directed to Israel. But the appropriation was actually included in a separate 6,000 page budget bill the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.
The antisemitism that followed the tweet which was written by a self-appointed journalist, who defended it while admitting it was incorrect was predictable. This is textbook antisemitism, where Israel is singled out as somehow uniquely stealing US tax dollars.
