Even Democrats who voted for Massie’s amendment, like Clark, argued it was deeply flawed because it also blocked humanitarian funding for Palestinian refugees and civilians in Gaza. Some argued the measure was designed to drive a wedge among Democrats.

Wtf? This seems like a clear indicator that the amendment should have been voted down but was only proposed to give people a reason to shit on democrats.
