Read my above comment.


You are close, but not exact

It was part of the camp David negations in the 70s. We give Egypt financial and military aid every year since then. As a result Egypt is #3 all time in our foreign aid behind Israel and now Ukraine

In short, we bribe Egypt to not attack Israel. So basically, foreign aid to Egypt is also foreign aid to Israel. Making the point of your OP all the more glaringly ridiculous

The walk-back cycle is 48 to 72 hours, so, yes.

I struggle daily between the Dave Smith Ben Shapiro wolves that live inside me.

Israel is a welfare state that I think actually commits genocide…

But…

But…

All their neighbors are bunch of retarded genocidal goat/boy humpers that are stuck in the 2nd century.

If they can't defend themselves, then wave the fricking white flag, don't fleece American taxpayers for your war. We need to get the hell out of foreign wars. Bring troops here to protect our borders. No country is sailing ships or flying aircraft here without detection. It's time for American taxpayers to not fund the world's defense. It's not a necessity now, but it's ingrained in the budget. And it's trillions of dollars

Has something changed in the last week?

Because last week we paused all aid except for Israel, Egypt, and maybe one other country.

Something to do with treaties or contracts that we could not just cancel with the stroke of a pen


If this is just another whiny Jews Did This Bro meltdown then I apologize for taking it seriously.

lEgypt will never do such a thing. We bribe them to keep a dictator that is friendly to Israel at the helm

That it makes sense to keep a strong presence in the Middle East that will act in our interests?

When they kept Iran from getting nukes? When they shared intel to help locate and free hostages for 30 years? When they provided a target for radical Muslims to spend themselves on for 50 plus years? When they provided proving grounds for live fire tests of US weapon systems?

They are a national security asset. The one stone on the Middle East and African theater that that we can use without repercussions.

People need to understand that Israel is our ally and for all intents and purposes a western culture country in the hell hole that is the Middle East.

It may not be a great situation but the US has to have over the top relations with Israel so we don’t run the risk of and second holocaust. Because that is what a lot of Muslim groups out there want.
