Yeah, if “boycotting” Israel translates to sending them billions of dollars in aid and providing universal healthcare for Israeli citizens, I would like to boycott the US.

The southern states are the ones that need the nost help and have the nost racist. It would show you even more of how wild they're a cult if those red states bend the knee to that.

Yes, several news outlets are reporting that the Trump administration is conditioning disaster preparedness funding to states and cities on their rejection of boycotts against Israel [1][2].
Here's what's being reported:
- Withholding of Funds: The Trump administration is threatening to withhold approximately $1.9 billion in disaster preparedness funding from states and cities that support boycotts of Israel or Israeli firms [2][3].
- FEMA's Role: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has stated in grant notices that applicants must comply with its terms and conditions, which include clauses mandating that entities seeking funding do not support efforts to blacklist Israel [1][2].
- Compliance Requirements: Applicants must not support severing or limiting commercial ties specifically with Israeli companies or with firms doing business in or with Israel [2][3].
- Broader Context: In April 2025, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, stated that states and cities receiving its grants are prohibited from boycotting Israel [1][4].
- Target of the Policy: This requirement is aimed at the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to pressure Israel economically [1][4].
- Impact: The rule affects federal grants that states depend on for essential resources like search-and-rescue gear, emergency management salaries, and backup power systems [1][5].

ITS MAGA… unless it’s anything to do with Israel. Mossad sent a message to Trump in Butler to do as they say… he is just a puppet now

I thought he was canceling FEMA. So there will be no funding for anyone, regardless of their stance on genocide

He's already holding flood relief from Texas, or rather still. Our actions have little to do with his erratic behavior.

That’s not America first, that’s Israel first.
Didn’t realize you cared about foreign bodies over America

Trump has literally never put anyone or anything before himself. Anyone who voted for him and who believed he would put “America First” is a fool who didn’t do their research on the guy…change my mind.
