The U.S. has committed to send Israel at least 2.7 billion dollars a year; but the US. Cannot afford healthcare?

Thats a huge amount of debt paid infrastructure investment and or medical care provision domestically
Let isreal pay its own way and fight its own battles

Population of the u.s. 2016 us census estimate
343 million therefore $2.7 billion spent in Israel a year would be 8000$ a person doesn’t seem like much but that doesn’t factor is the assets being “given” to their war effort(s) each tank given is worth about 5 to 12 million each in 2001 dollars so estimate 5000 tanks that’s 26.5 trillion dollars in equipment ( just tanks) brings it to so as an estimate according to google the us has agreed to “give” Israel about $300 billion a year from 2025 to 2028. So far That’s roughly 40trillion dollars that could have paid bills our bills.
Running total $118,000 per us citizen that has been spent or given to support Israel in its war against the legal occupants of Gaza.
Cut off Israel all of Americas problems are solved.

@exchrist I’d be okay w giving them weapons only . No direct cash payments for “existing “

@AthrillatheHunt I think that will only attract more attacks on America arm Israel who gets the blame? The party giving them the weapons will attract a lot of flack doing that, furthermore. Per the founders warning of entangled alliances. Weapons provisions to the aggressor committing war crimes seem like becoming entangled. America simply needs to cut ties. Stop giving away assets and start paying its bills

@exchrist let’s agree to disagree. I don’t think we give weapons to countries that commit war crimes .

@AthrillatheHunt okay so you don’t think the acts of war by Israel against civilians in Gaza is using weapons from the USA? Are American weapons being used to perpetrate crimes of war? America doesn’t give the weapons to be used in committing such acts but the receiver (israel) is committing such crimes with the weapons it is receiving

@exchrist yes that’s exactly what I meant. That’s why I said let’s agree to disagree
