I do not believe Netanyahu. Glad to see Bari Weiss and CBS have aligned themselves well with the propaganda mission of the Israeli government.

Also, we should let them all go solo on their military endeavors.

Nice thought, but we can't, especially in Africa. Islamist movements all over need to be kept in check, and that's what Green Berets are for, to advise and assist local governments in doing so.

How about us North Americans keep the Islamist movements over here in check first and stop destablizing nations to then allow more 3rd world refugees, many who are Muslim, seek refuge here?

That would be really nice.

impressive how many people dont understand most of the aid we give israel goes straight back into the US economy.


from one of our AI overlords.

quote:

In short, well over 90% of baseline annual aid (and the bulk of supplementals) consists of credits/grants that Israel must spend on US equipment, with only a shrinking OSP exception for domestic purchases. This aligns with broader US policy for FMF while giving Israel some unique flexibilities that are being reduced. Figures can vary slightly by fiscal year and supplemental packages.

Who created those Islamist movements as boogeymen? If you guessed Israel you win the grand prize! How much did you bet? $6 million!!


Did Israel also create the islamist movements that were killing and enslaving people for the 1300 years before its existence?

Impressive that you are, by the nature of your post, defending the MIC.

not defending it at all. just pointing out that most people think they just get billions to use on hookers and blow when its just gov subsidies for US companies.

if people want to argue we shouldn't thats fine, but understand what you are actually arguing.

No they don't use it on hookers and blow, it gets funnelled to the "dual citizens" in Congress.

Not happening anytime soon. AIPAC and billionaire pro-Israel donors will continue to keep it going.

No, it’s rather common knowledge that we give billions that are used to buy weapons from the U.S.. The biggest defense lobbies get from 500 to 1000% ROT. With a new proposed $1.5T DoD budget, that number will go up nicely.

But the OP was about Netanyahu and his comments about U.S. support. My opinion is cut off the money, stay out of their military affairs.
