I doubt this will pass or even be discussed in the senate but I support Paul's efforts.

How about all aid to both Saudi Arabia and Israel

In 2009, U.S. officials said Saudi Arabia was the “most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide.” And in 2014, those same officials wrote that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were “providing clandestine financial and logistic support to [the Islamic State] and other radical Sunni groups.”
Bill is definitely going nowhere since US is in partnership with both Saudi Arabia and Isreal funding these groups to take down places like Lybia and Syria. AlQueda, AlNursra, ISIS are the "moderate rebels", many paid mercenaries that go to war for money.

Oh man, the Bin Laden and 9/11 remarks can color this comment section beyond the human perceivable rainbow xD
How come the son of a meme has to be the one to come up with this?

The tens of thousands of dead Yemenis didn't matter enough to spark an outrage -- but one ISIS-sympathizing Saudi potentially harmed is enough to do it.
