Whatever happened to the right wing talking point of “Take care of our country first”?
How is this a right wing talking point? It’s blatant corruption, there is no ideology in prioritizing you’re own citizens. Wtf?
Right now they’re all loving supporting destroying Gaza and occupying it. They also screamed about how being involved in Ukraine was bad. Right-wingers are just awful, broken people with no consistency beyond always doing exactly what their local conservative party tells them.
It was always a lie
The right wing part focuses on the eschaton with Israel in their death cult.
I love learning new words, what’s this one mean!?
Oh…oh dear.
Oh for fucks sake, the heat death of the whole universe isn’t enough they have to speed it up? Religion is a hell of a drug.
You also have eschatology as a study.
We are starting to see more and more of split on the right on this issue actually. You have critiques by tucker carlson and Candace owens for example.
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.
They still do.
This is what’s crazy about it all.
What’s really funny is we know they do, but nobody ever really presses these contrary beliefs of theirs publicly. But we all know they have them. I don’t understand why it doesn’t happen more often.

I wish Trump would chicken out on this.
Foreign aid isn’t given in the form of direct cash payments. Trump also seems to think foreign aid works that way.
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!
51st state with plausible deniability
If those numbers are to be believed… That’s 1 dollar per person in Israel per day.
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

Of the ~90% of buildings destroyed, how many were destroyed by Israeli bombs VS Hamas bombs/rockets.
The answer may shock you!

- They revised that charter.
- Are you surprised they hate Jews and some might not have a nuanced opinion? There’s a fucking star of David on all the tanks and flags of the people killing their relatives and stealing their land.

The only response a genocider understands is violence. If you’re not a “terrorist” you’re either a victim or a collaborator.
Yes, but many IDF members and the nationalistic government of Israel are terrorists as well.
I still believe, (without any proof of course) that the government of Israel would have been able to not let 8th October happen and I believe that they moved the psytrance festival knowing what would happen.
Only to have a reason to Bomb Gaza to the ground…
🙃 but this is just a feeling!
You’re a parrot, not a person.

You’re a terrorist.
Now I can ignore all your human rights and also kill you with impunity.
Is this a good system? Is this normal? The answer is no.
Terrorist is just a word meant to shut off your thinking and empathy. Don’t fall for it.

If Hamas are terrorists, Israel is magnitudes more of terrorists. Ultra terrorists or something.

So why do you have to get gay married in Cyprus instead of Israel?
Your whitewashing hasbara for a genocidal apartheid state is going to work less and less as people see through the bullshit.

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.
you mean 4 billion raytheon vouchers?
The best knife missiles out there.
Countries with nukes should never receive any aid for anything, ever.
That should be the price of having nukes.
Do the same thing for guns and you’ve got yourself a deal
Israel has yet to admit to having nukes
Yet have them they do.
Why do we care if they admit it or not
why wouldnt any country have them at this point, I feel like its just delusion assuming they dont
Most nations could not afford to safely construct and maintain 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.
You must be impoverished to enrich America’s genocidal garrison state in the Middle East.
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.
The USA pays Israel for intelligence and intelligence work. There isn’t money just being handed over.
Yeah, and they might spend the US money on exactly that, but that means they can spend their own money on something else, like general welfare, which they apparently do. So they can use US money to kill children in Gaza and spend their own money on healthcare 🤷♂️Actually reread your message and see your point. Sure it’s not free money with no cost of Israel but would Israel be able to defend itself without those funds? It still a matter of money coming in and money being spent on welfare.
The irony is still that Israel, currently occupying Palestine, and in constant military conflict, gets money from the US while still maintaining a functioning welfare system.
I am of the opinion that Israel is in a constant state of conflict precisely because it benefits America’s defense contractors and international banks involved in these contracts. The USA might have actually pushed for peace had they not been so profitable for them if war continues.
All that money is a subsidy for US defense contractors. This is most of what Eisenhower was warning about before he left office
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?
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.
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.
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.
The USA gives Israel billions in exchange for intelligence and for running intel ops for the USA. This is not free money.
The military aid is spent on US defense contracts so it is more a subsidy for arms manufacturers than a gift to Israel.
This is true but its a sad state of affairs when the US would rather spend money bullying other countries to further corporate interests than giving their own citizens access to health care and education.
Unfortunately been that way a looooong time
Agreed
It’s a doubled sided genocide. America send money over to Israel so they can kill they’re own citizen and the US doesn’t have the money to save its citizens lives.
It’d be so much easier if they both stopped trying to kill people
