You mean decent, hardworking capitalist Americans are subsidising a socialist hellscape??? 😯
Its more fascist America funds national socialist Israel.
Pffft, details shmetails. If it’s got socialism in the name it’s the devil. I don’t wanna risk any of my tax dollars going to help me or - heaven forbid, my neighbor - when it could be used to push a hard working billionaire’s pile that much closer to trickling down! I can almost feel that golden shower already!
😆so well written!

Yeah right … their own tax base is enough to cover the cost of public services like that …
… but a genocide? … Palestine ain’t gonna genocide itself … that shit costs money
A lot of the money goes towards to illegal colonial settlements. These cost far more in security and infrastructure and the social services there are much more expensive to get more people to go there for “good roads and schools”.
Even before the genocide Israel has been heavily subsidized by the US and other allies.
As UNRWA has been covering much of the humanitarian obligations Israel has as an occupying force over the past half century the global community has been subsidizing Israel with dozens of billions too.
Countries with nukes should never receive any aid for anything, ever.
That should be the price of having nukes.
What’s the logic behind this statement? Is it just that nukes are bad?
The logic is that if you put the world at risk, there should be consequences for that.
If you want the world to come running when you fall on hard times (and this can hardly be considered that, yet aid comes all the same) then you should give up your weapons of mass destruction.
If there’s no consequence for having them, eventually everyone will have them. And then very rapidly nobody will. And that won’t be a good day.
Ok. I kind of get your point. It seems like almost any country can put the world at risk though, with or without nukes. Aid isn’t given on how not-powerful a country is but how beneficial it is to the country supplying the aid. For example the us will prop up dictators it hates if it serves their interests. Topple democracies if it helps their interests. Nukes or no nukes it only makes sense. It would be nice if countries were all trying to make the best world to live in, but we aren’t there yet, and I’m sure you know that.
why wouldnt any country have them at this point, I feel like its just delusion assuming they dont
Do the same thing for guns and you’ve got yourself a deal

Whatever happened to the right wing talking point of “Take care of our country first”?
Remember when the right thought The Jewish bankers controlled the world. They made whole documentaries on it and everything. Crazy how fast the beliefs of all groups shift from year to year.
They still believe it, but at the same time they respect those Arab killing strong men.
The right always prefer strong men above everything else. Even their own countries.
The right wing part focuses on the eschaton with Israel in their death cult.
It was always a lie
Isn’t that all military equipment?
Which is worse. Like it’s not that the US is subsidizing something good like higher education, but rather bombs and guns for faster genocide?
Money doesn’t have labels on it. If they don’t need to spend their own money on military they can spend it on other things. So you could argue the US is at least indirectly funding these things.

Israel is more likely to, if American subsidies were cut, to strip their social benefits than reduce the operations of a core aspect of their state.
Opportunity cost, and all that jazz. Think of it this way - if you were hell-bent on spending 100$ on art supplies per month, and some fellow came up and said “I’ll give you 50$ of art supplies per month”, what that really does is effectively free up 50$ for whatever else you might desire to use it for.
The dumbass people in this country didn’t get jealous of the universal health care they paid to institute in Iraq. There’s no hope.
Foreign aid isn’t given in the form of direct cash payments. Trump also seems to think foreign aid works that way.
Democrat/Republican is all a smoke show. They both agree that Israel deserves our money. You’re not allowed to question it. You’re not allowed to boycott them. Even bringing it up is anti-Semitic activity.
If you want to know who the real bosses are, look at who it’s illegal to criticize.
In Texas, it’s literally illegal for governments to buy products or award contracts to anyone who denounces the actions of Israel.
Like: when I was analyzing bids for janitorial services for City Hall, I was legally required to vett the bidders’ stances on Israel.
Democrats, republicans, at the end of the day they are all americans.
If those numbers are to be believed… That’s 1 dollar per person in Israel per day.
you mean 4 billion raytheon vouchers?
The best knife missiles out there.
That’s because it takes our tax dollars and turns it around and pays it to overpriced government contractors which is good for “the economy”.
It is good for a certain economy for certain people, but it isn’t good for us all.
You must be impoverished to enrich America’s genocidal garrison state in the Middle East.
I was unfamiliar with the national dog of Argentina. I thought it was strange that it looks like a Staffordshire Terrier, so I looked it up and was delighted to learn that it’s called the “Dogo Argentinio.” Perfect fucking name, I love it.
They look better without trimmed ears.
