How about all foreign aid and not just Israel.

This is just a general reply and not directed at anyone in particular.

Israel has a right to exist, PERIOD.

Unlike every other country on earth that we give aid to, it seems to me that Israel is the country with the least public corruption in the receipt of aid.

Every other country skims probably 90% off the top for graft, while Israel pretty much uses it.

I know everyone likes being hyper focused on Israel but they pretty much do things that we don't have the balls to do.

We may not agree with everything, but if you think Israel doesn't have a right to exist then we can't have a reasonable discussion on what is happening.

How about we hold every other country to the same standard we seem to want to impose on Israel.

China, Ukraine, South America, and our Border are much more valid concerns then a penchant for complaining about Israel right now.

Nobody ever wants to try to view things through their eyes. We just think we are justified complaining that we think Congress is just a puppet of Israel.

No country is without blame. No country is perfect.

We have our problems and they have theirs.

Just my 2 cents.

So the author of the X post thanks that the "War on Terror" was just money spent in support of Israel.

The premise is totally false.

The "War on Terror" was a war devised to make defense contractors rich, not Israel.

Perspective changes everything.
