Marjorie Taylor Greene just threw a fit on X because Israel’s economy is doing too well. On April 21, 2026, she posted: “Whyyyyyy do we still give them billions of dollars???” She followed it up with a reminder that when she tried to pass an amendment to defund Israel, only five other members of Congress voted with her. Her outburst came after BRICS News reported that the Israeli shekel hit a 30-year high against the US dollar.
The shekel’s surge is real. According to the New Arab, on April 22, 2026, Israel’s currency traded at 3.014 to the dollar, the strongest it’s been since 1995. That’s right – three decades since the shekel was this powerful. The last time it broke below three shekels to the dollar was back in the mid-90s, and now it’s flirting with that same threshold again.
