What is your best argument to send U.S. tax payer money to Israel.

Say you are a politician and the lobbyists for defense contractors and State Department NGOs are begging you to appropriate money in the new budget to send money to Israel what is your best argument to vote for these appropriations?
Now "send money to Israel" means contracting with these defense contractors and NGOs. The defense contractor get to send military equipment and personnel and the NGOs get travel to the war torn region help people and write white papers on all kinds of bull shite. In return these defense contractors and NGOs contribute directly to your reelection campaign at max levels and indirectly to your PACs and SuperPACs at really big levels.
The counter argument is you have a lot of people in your district that want the roads and bridges fixed and they have grown wary of spending tax dollars on overseas projects as the debt continues grow and gets refinanced at higher rates.
Do you make a emotional argument or can you make a logical argument to send billions to Israel via defense contractors and NGOs?

The security of Israel is vital to the security of the United States.
It is a complete lie, but that is the line they give.

I'd trade a couple mil of all our tax dollars if they send some of those fine arse Israeli female "soldiers" over here.
Other than that, frick em. My most conservative position is probably financially, which is why I absolutely hate all politicians currently. Plus, they all like cock which is kind of ghey (NTTAWWT).

"At least it's not going to Ukraine"?

Don’t. Then see what happens, and when all the liberal Jews who vote Democratic see with their own eyes, they will know who to vote for next time.

How about this dumbass line:
'AmErIcA NeEdS IsRaEl! IsRaEl dOeSn'T NeEd AmErIcA!'
'AmErIcA NeEdS IsRaEl! IsRaEl dOeSn'T NeEd AmErIcA!'

It is a tricky kinda slope. Same for Ukraine, I don't mind sending small arms and ammo, maybe anti-air type stuff for defense. I don't want us sending Ukraine or Israel billions of dollars, I know we do and have a long history of it, wish we didn't. Help train if needed, anti-air weapons, ammo, small arms, is enough imo.

What money?
Posted on 10/12/23 at 10:51 am to GumboPot
Now we know why the attack was so atrocious. I would say why should I send money after Biden financed Iran and Israeli intelligence dropped the ball to allow such atrocity to occur knowing such heavily publicized atrocity always creates the emotional response they need to generate the most revenue.
Frig' them!!

The Israeli military industrial complex is just an arm of the US military industrial complex.
They use our money to protect their borders.
Our borders don't matter.
Israel is the epicenter of Globalism. And some of you fools would send American boys over there to die for them.

The security of Israel is for God or does God require a foreign nation to save Israel?

The only argument is keeping a foothold ally in the region. I’m of the theory that keeping your enemies greatest enemy close by only helps our international security. They may not be a nato member but we do offer them some status within nato…

Emotional arguments can also be logical arguments.

In the 1990s did Netanyahu really say this?
quote:
"America is a golden calf
and we will suck it dry, chop
it up, and sell it off piece by
piece until there is nothing
left but the world's biggest
welfare state that we will
create and control...
This is what we do to
countries that we hate. We
destroy them very slowly"

I think they're starting to see this.
