US spends a record $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since last Oct. 7
The United States has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began and led to escalating conflict around the Middle East.
Look at this. Complete destruction. This isn't even an actual war. Its just extermination.
There is cities in Ukraine that look better despite two years of heavy fighting since Russias invasion.
Fun fact. Israel sold drones to Russia which it used to target Ukraine for their bombers and artillery. And they did that after the russian invasion of Chrimea. Also Israel denied to support sanctions against Russia.
Now Ukraine will probably be sacrificed to Russia so the US and EU can focus on helping Israel murder more Arabs.
Truly a friend to the West.
The only reason we didn't arm Ukraine to the death immediately is because Russia has been the years since the Cold War extending its tentacles into the governments of the western world. We should have treated Ukraine like we are treating Israel now. They are actually defending themselves instead of using us to dominate their region.

Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.
Most of the aid—approximately $3.3 billion a year—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services.
So this is also another way for congress to ferry money into arms companies in their districts.
It cost about 10 billion to end homelessness in America for a year. You could have had that, but instead America’s leaders want to kill Gaza's children.
Healthcare, please
Spending the money on weapons in the first place, here or Israel, is the grift. Tax dollars should be spent on proper health care or free college
Not to mention green energy, what with all these hurricanes that will continue to be increasing in intensity and quantity.

It's just our rent payment.
