He’s a lone voice on this. It could cost him his seat

He's a buffoon.

On principle, I am against all foreign aid but I can decern when that principle does not apply. This is one of those exceptions. Your unborn descendants would agree.

No one is turning against Israel. Israel has many, many friends and everyone condemns the horrific attack

Its just using forced taxation to gift a them billions is not conservative to some of us. I hope you can see this.

Ah yes, AIPAC the shakedown artists on par with AL Sharpton. Why are they even allowed to operate on our soil? They’ve been given hundreds of billions of our money with zilch in return.

“But if he had any balls he would force AIPAC to register as a foreign agent since all they do is lobby for a foreign government.”

100%

He is right. Israel has the military to enable it to fight and win on its own.

Yep. Israel doesn't need our money.

Israel needs us to step aside and let them take out the trash.

You’re right. But they’re just upset that their gravy train is coming to an end.

“the United States turns against Israel it will be destroyed.”

Emotional and religious manipulation if I’ve ever seen it!

Israel has universal healthcare, subsidized university education, low debt and a budget surplus. We’re broke. Let them pay for their own war. If you want to send them your own money go ahead.

What makes you think they are unborn? We even have great grandchildren. My gratuitous nature is running out because our checkbook is way overdrawn, and the interest on the debt load is now almost a trillion a year. On top of that we are running 2 trillion dollar deficits as it stands. No one will come to the aid of our children when it becomes necessary, and you know what, that time is already here. When the dollar is dethroned as the world's currency, we may all be needing help that won't be coming. If you doubt me, just ask East Palestine & Maui.

We are in the 45th year since this was released on: September 5th, 1979.

As much as I would love to help the Israeli's, if we fall they fall. So, we would only be buying them time. But..

Time is not on our side, unfortunately.

FACTS ON FILE-——China sides w/ Hamas against Israel. As of 2022, China was Israel’s
2nd largest trading partner, with total trade value reaching a whopping $24.45 billion.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations had restricted sensitive technological exports to China. As a result, China turned to cooperative Israel. China’s direct investment in Israel’s IT industry, especially in chips and semiconductors, now has increased.

In 2017, Israeli PM Netanyahu said China accounts for one-third of the investment in Israeli high technology, which includes US military technology the US shares w/ Israel, its strongest ally. In the ’90s, Israel sold military equipment and technologies to China, including the Harpy missile system.

This incident chilled relations between the United States and Israel, with Israel being suspended from its status as Security Cooperative Participant in the Joint Strike Fighter program. However, on 6 November 2005, Israel stated that it has been re-admitted into the program.

The US had to pressure Israel to stop sharing US military technology w/ China. Yet Israel still doesn’t restrict China from acquiring dual-usage technologies that could have military implications against the US.

A succession of US administrations warned Israel about its growing tie with China, sharing concern about China using Israel as a backdoor to access sensitive technologies from the US.

The most vocal objection to Sino-Israeli ties came from the Trump administration. When former Secy of State Mike Pompeo visited Israel in 2019, he warned Israelis that the CCP “engages in spying through its commercial state-owned enterprises and presents risk through its technology systems. Pompeo said China’s actions posed a risk.

Unfortunately, Israel largely brushed aside the warnings. Like many other countries, China’s massive market has enticed Israel. Plus, the Israeli government hopes China’s good relationships with Arab nations may help Israel.

This year, Netanyahu was working on a Sino-Israeli free trade agreement and planned to visit China. But China’s siding w/ Hamas should wake up Israel’s leaders to the reality that Communist China’s relationship with Israel is purely transactional.
