Look at us keeping Israel afloat... Wait, I mean Poland.

The United States will lend Poland $4 billion (€3.5 billion), it was announced on Friday, June 12th. The funds will come from the Foreign Military Financing programme, according to the U.S. Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Thomas DiNanno, allowing further arms purchases.
DiNanno was speaking at an event to mark the inaugural flight of three F-35 jets bought from the U.S. (with more deliveries scheduled by 2029). A total of $20 billion (€17.3 billion) is now available to the country, which borders troubled Ukraine to its east.
I love the Poles, but this fantasy that we don't send equivalent or greater amounts of money to anyone but Israel is repeatedly proven as false. Same reason we send money to Israel, but nobody says a word.

What kind of a straw man is this?

I've posted the list and the amounts we send countries repeatedly. $15B to Ukraine, we're sending over a billion dollars a year to eight other countries (including such standouts as Afghanistan, Sudan, Jordan, Congo, etc.) but it's the $3-6b we give to Israel that they use to buy shite from our defense contractors is somehow the straw the broke the camel's back.
I'm the one that made the argument, I'll wait for your straw man argument.

Yeah but does Poland go around starting wars and dragging us into it? Or do they mind their own business?

It's clear you didn't understand the argument I was making by citing your straw man.
Nobody believes we only send money to Israel or that Israel is the country that we send money the most to. We've contributed hundreds of billions to Ukraine in the past 4 years alone. Your original argument in the OP is a straw man

I don't remember us double-tap bombing a school for Poland.
Also, "lend"

where do you think a large percentage of fake "Israelis" came from?

Ukraine is getting good at producing drones. All while a "nuclear superpower" has tried to crush their country. They are some badasses. I'd want to be on their side. They are not pussies like the rest of Western Europe.

The most corrupt country in Europe by far stealing most of the money we send as well as selling the equipment we give. frick Ukraine

So they’re receiving significantly less than Israel. Still a lot of money, but let’s not pretend Israel isn’t the biggest benefactor of American foreign aid. It’s not even close.

Agreed. Poland has some baws.
Do these “loans” ever actually get paid back or are they always forgiven?

There are a large number of idiots in this country that believe exactly that.
