No it's not.
No one said it was uniquely onerous.
I notice no one ever complains about the foreign aid to any other country than Israel. Indeed, the other countries are only mentioned in the context of condemning aid to Israel, to provide a phony cover of "consistency."
They are ALL onerous, and should ALL be cut off. I've been clear and consistent on that, so please cease muddying the waters with made up arguments.
Let's see you mention your opposition to foreign aid (which I am also against btw) someplace than a thread on Israel.
No it's not.
Yes, when you create an argument that wasn't proffered simply to deconstruct it, that is a strawman.
Not only did I not say that foreign aid to Israel was "uniquely onerous", but your secondary argument ("no ever ever complains about the foreign aid to any other country") was also false. I had already provided a link in this thread to a comment on this forum, in another thread, by me, decrying the direction of U.S. tax dollars to other foreign nations.
You've provided no evidence whatsoever. The only thing you have provided are your claims of consistency, of which I have seen no proof whatsoever.
I provided the 'evidence' you seek in post #29. Keep up.
I have no vote in the representation of the Knesset, why should they have my tax dollars? We fought a revolution over this principle once. You appear to forgotten, or never learned.
So Israel is Our Most Ancient Foe of All! All True Americans must take up arms against the arch-villainous Israelis who are tyrannizing us (doubtless through "international banking") just as the British once did! Shoot, I bet you think George III was only following the orders of the Rothschilds!
I simply don't think U.S. tax dollars should be given to a foreign government in which U.S. citizens have no representation. Taxation without representation was among the casus belli in the American war for independence. I think you should be free to give whatever of your own money you want to Israel. I think you should be free to move there and pay taxes to Israel if you desire. I don't think you should be able to direct U.S. taxes (and since we can't actually afford it, the reality is creating more U.S. debt on which the taxpayers must pay interest into perpetuity, in many cases to foreign governments) to fund foreign governments. Your prattling about conspiracies is a deliberate attempt to obfuscate a clear and simple point, and a rallying cry of our late revolution.
This thread never had anything to do with foreign aid. It is about Israel's unfortunately very liberal and anti-Halakhic domestic social policies. Why would a Proud Rationalist like yourself come onto a thread bashing Israel for violations of Theocratic laws and start squawking about "foreign aid," other than to form an ideological and rhetorical "pincer movement?"
Money is fungible. You understand that when the money goes to Planned Parenthood, right? The more U.S. tax dollars given to Israel to spend the easier it is for them to give away things like abortions. Let them choose between providing for their defense or funding the murder of their own unborn without American tax dollars. In such a case they may choose more wisely.
