AIPAC and other powerful proIsrael lobbies make sure that no one can criticize Israel and that money continues to flow over there.

What a terrible waste of funds that could be used for schools, roads, housing or other domestic projects.

What exactly are we getting in exchange for all this money going to Israel? These AIPAC lobbyists must be getting amazing returns on their investments

I wonder how Americans feel struggling with rising costs knowing Israeli's get amazing benefits that we indirectly fund like free healthcare and subsidized housing while

What can they say? Their tax dollars are being sent to a foreign country. How can that be defended?

Why can we ask to be paid back? Israel owes us about 200 billion.

US funds Israel because Christians believe that war in Palestine will lead to Armageddon and Rapture.

Israelis have health care because Jews don't believe in the afterlife.

Christians and Muslims don't want healthcare because they believe that this life is just the waiting room for Heaven.

That money is spent on killing Arabs. Americans love that.

Can people please use their intellectual powers? Cities in the US are not funding specific conflicts and the website above is so biased it states Israel is Palestinian land. Talk about muddying the waters.

We take the tax money from the people in the cities (and other areas) and we use it to fund conflicts among other uses. Yes we do. And the taxpayers are perfectly entitled to object to or support all of the items in the budget.

It is Palestinian land. The British thought it was theirs to give away.

But let bygones be bygones. Why is a state governor prioritizing a wealthy foreign country over the needs of its local citizens and crushing the first amendment tights of it citizens for this foreign country?

Is this not the definition of insanity?

A little more than 200 billion:

The United States has provided Israel with $318 billion in financial assistance since the end of World War II. Israel is the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II.

Wow, that’s insane.

The funny part is where the delusional Zionists march in here and defend the welfare sent to Israel by pointing at the relatively paltry sums spent lobbying for that corrupt welfare.

Like, “we’re not scamming the American taxpayer because we pay to play”, except the ROI on their efforts is 10x or more year in, year out. Last year, they probably secured an 75 - 80x return on “their money”, which was really just a portion of what we gave them the prior year. The 10/7 attack will spur the highest level of B economic expansion in Israel in decades, and that’s even after accounting for blowback to their horrific acts in the region.
