For 4th time, Republican senator blocks passage of Iron Dome funding bill. Why on earth are we funding a foreign country's defense? Is Israel broke or something?

they get more aid than any other country on earth.

Really? That sounds easily disprovable. Please be less stupid.

You obviously have no idea how much money the US gives Israel every year. We pay for their entire military, and that is just a small portion of what we give them.

In absolute terms, they're #1 in foreign aid? Really?

Canbot is mostly right actually, Israel technically gets the most aid from the US (minus afghanistan) but its actually much worse than this. After we consider the intelligence, weapons sharing etc. The value of US "foreign aid" to Israel is definitely far greater than any other country. Also when Israel gets military secrets, assets, or tech from the US they often then just turn around and sell it to China

When we also consider also that basically every war the US went into in the ME was actually for Israel (e.g. Iraq), and that almost all major political donors are Zionist Jews the situation starts to make more sense. The US is more or less a big puppet state for Zionist Jews

In terms of aid from the US its probably true, but more importantly its that this aid has zero benefit fir the US.

Israel not only has zero strategic importance, but it is a massive liability. US support for Israel actively harms US interests and is morally indefensible. It is done solely because of aggressive Jewish lobbying, media influence(an understatement), wealth, and power.

Zionists have totally corrupted the US political system and have repeatedly commited high treason.
