Can someone explain exactly what this "emergency" is here?

How many "emergencies" can we have in one calendar year? Maybe that's what we need a cap on. Trump Administration Uses 'Emergency' Powers to Rush Another $4 Billion in Military Aid to Israel

Yes there is room to disagree about the urgency of the aid

But this way bypasses the Israel haters in congress

Oh, that's an easy one.

It's the "Because fuck you! That's why!" clause.

They don't need no stinking Congress...

''Of course, the money Israel spends on these "sales" comes from the United States. As of last count, Israel is holding some $46 billion in US treasures that we paid for which they lend back to us with interest.''

Is it hate to ask a question?

The anti Israel lobby isnt asking questions because they have already made up their mind

“Hurling accusations” and obstruction is more accurate

We need a pro-America lobby.

But that might get you put on a list these days.

I am not sure that asking for an explanation is the same as obstruction, but opinions differ.

If it's of any consolation, there's nothing you can do about it anyway. It's just a big imperialist shell game, sparky.

The sun's coming up. Go outside and do meaningful shit. Or wherever. That's the best medicine...

Congress is not filled with fine upstanding citizens like yourself

The dems and even some repubs who hate Israel know every parliamentary to obstruct and they will use them
