re: I’m tired of DeSantis pandering to Israel

Very few politicians have the stones to stand up to Israel. And by stand up, I mean have the gall to tell them that the money spigot is off. It’s demented and sad.

Why would we single out Israel to turn the spigot off, though? We send billions of dollars to hundreds of countries around the world. If a candidate comes out and says we are reducing our foreign aid to everyone by 75%, great. I'm all for it and would support that completely. But to turn off the spigot to Israel, while continuing the flow to hundreds of others, I don't agree.

Israel is 9 million people surrounded by muslim countries that want them destroyed. If we are going to send money to countries around the world, Israel certainly should be one of them.
