Enough with the “foreign aid” to anyone. All it is is a money laundering scheme that eventually sees its way back to politicians pockets.
The alliance with Israel is always only one sided and only to their benefit. No different to any other alliance we have made since World War One.
We should spend that money on our own veterans.
[ Grace G doesn’t like Israel. Do you like Iran, Grace G? ]
False equivalency.
I don’t like sending OUR money TO Israel.
I certainly hope the best for Israel.
Also, I certainly don’t like sending money to Iran either ( see Obama’s pallets of cash ) But I do hate the government of Iran and how they oppress their people.
So you are being disingenuous and putting words in my mouth. The tactic of someone trying to defend their shaky position.
[ Wanting to help protect our only real ally in the middle east from overt terrorism has now somehow become controversial to the islam pacifiers.
This is how muslims worship ]
This is how people blind to reality argue.
Send money to other countries while we are going broke but as long as we send money to one of our aliles it is a “all good”....
Then why not STOP sending money to the Israel hating countries and reduce the money we send to Israel by the same amount?
America First, Israel can find find a spot between 2-10 and the Islamic hell holes can go eff off and find a place in the upper 200’s
[ Oh, and before the anti-Semitism accusation starts ...
Not one dollar should be leaving the United States in any form of foreign aid. We’re broke. We’re trillions in debt and we have trillions in unfunded liabilities.
Every country we support needs to get off the dole. That includes Europe NATO and Japan. ]
EXACTLY! This is like buying your friend across town a new lawnmower they can easily afford while your own family needs clothing for the winter.
[ Goodness you sound angry. Progressive-like outrage. Take a laxative. And I agree America cannot support the world, just not like a petulant antisemitic troll. ]
2 Very good reasons we shoudl not send money to Israel:
1. I don’t want to weaken the conservatives IN Israel by giving THEIR progressive more excuses to spend their money on socialist/communist programs.
If we pay for their defenses the commies in Israel WILL launder their national budget money to strengthen THEMSELVES... Soon Israel will have all this fancy high tech gear but the leadership will all be commies and will not use it and Israel will fall from WITHIN.
2. We are in crippling debt here. We also do stupid stuff like ALSO send money to the countries that HATE Israel. If we stopped sending money to Israel AND the countries that HATE Israel.... We would have a lot more money and Israel would be much much safer! Heck all we have to do is cut the amount of money we send to Israel by the amount we would no longer send to the countries that hate Israel. It is not like Israel being a much more functional country than the crapistan countries that surround it cannot afford their own defense, because they can. We shoudl be Selling Israel weapons not giving them away to them.
Israel hater Grace G is FIXATED on Israel.
[ I love Israel, but they do not need US money for their defense. ]
^ This is the best position to be in!
If you love to give US money to Israel, start a Charity for it. Do not tax me using government threat of violence to then give that forcibly collected money to Israel, it taints the money.
[ I agree with Rand.
We’re trillions in debt. Cut the foreign welfare. ]
Welfare weakens BOTH people and Countries!
Why do so many here hate Israel by wanting to weaken it with welfare?
[ Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Don’t take the Mark and good luck at the White Throne of Judgement. ]
I see no geographical descriptions in that quote of a country that exists east of the Mediterranean sea...
Nor do I see anything about casting gold their way...
A blessing is asking God for his favor on their behalf and that only takes a little bit of time each time you pray and is essentially free.
May God Bless Israel and Bless the Jewish people.
[ Israel hater Grace G is FIXATED on Israel. ]
And you seem to be fixated on wasting OUR tax money on a country that is in a LOT better financial situation than ourselves.
Why are trying to emotionally manipulate myself and others on this board by using the same old tiresome “Guilt Trip Tactic” to justify wasting our tax monies?
You are like a petulant little sister screaming:
“Mommy! Daddy! Billy won’t give me any of his money he earned mowing lawns so I can by myself some candy with it, BILLY HATES ME!!!!”
Nothing but feminine emotional manipulation!
But in this case it is: “Freppers!!!! Freepettes!!! GraceG doesn’t want to give any of her hard earned tax money to Israel!!! Grace MUST HATE ISRAEL!!!!”
Pathetic!
***We have a difference of opinion on Israel. You exaggerate our side so you can argue against that straw position, so we do the same to you. Doesn't feel good, does it? Then STOP DOING IT.
Send money to other countries while we are going broke
***Then start with our allies in Europe. They aren’t surrounded on 3 sides by enemies lobbing missiles onto their civilians. Gigantic duhh factor.
but as long as we send money to one of our aliles it is a “all good”....
***I support proportionality. Notably, again, this is not what you’re arguing against, but... yet AGAIN... you are using a straw argument. Take a critical thinking class.
Then why not STOP sending money to the Israel hating countries and reduce the money we send to Israel by the same amount?
***Sounds like a reasonable plan. Let me know when the side you’re arging from, that is the DEMOCRAPS, let me know when they agree to that plan. In the meantime, pull your head out.
America First,
***I totally agree. You happen to be arguing on the same side the AmericaLasters are arguing from, so quit taking your revisionist history courses and take a critical thinking course instead.
America First, Israel can find find a spot between 2-10 and the Islamic hell holes can go eff off and find a place in the upper 200’s
***Sounds good to me. Perhaps you should quit burying the lede under all your straw arguments. A writing class would help.
Our relationship with ALL of our allies isn’t remotely even. They are the only ally we have in the middle east, and they’re surrounded on 3 sides by enemies who lob missiles onto their civilian population. That should put them higher on the list of priority than our other useless allies.
Which of our allies are gonna step up and knock out the Iranian Nuke program? Those are the ones we should be prioritizing.

Israel has the capability to do so unilaterally, they just might not possess the will.
I’m sure we are helping the Israelis behind the scenes.
Do you think the above is correct?
Well at least it's no longer a political issue
