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?

One of the wealthiest countries in the world and they get more aid than any other country on earth. It is disgusting. They should be sending aid to poor countries not taking it away. Dispicable, shameless greed.

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

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
