About a million Americans will be sent home without pay because the repubs want their own way, regardless of what it'll mean to working, voting Americans but does this mean Israel will stop being paid as well?

This may be a silly question but is it only Americans that'll lose out because the repubs have tossed the rattle out of their pram?
 
Lots of American workers sent home.
Fat chance of getting a passport.
How about cash payments and Israel's free guns; are they still being sent?
 
Yippee - Israeli's free guns may be late.

U.S. State Dept says shutdown could hit military funding for Israel | Reuters

The Obama administration had requested $3.1 billion for Israel for the 2014 fiscal year that began on October 1, the day U.S. political stalemate forced a partial shutdown of government. In 2007, the two countries agreed on a 10-year, $30-billion military aid package covering the 2009-18 fiscal years.

Total U.S. foreign military funding was about $5.5 billion for more than 80 countries in 2011, according to State Department data.
