Then instead of $$12 billion they will need $100 billion to recover from this war. You wanna pay that too?

Tell him that.

Selling the latest aid bundle as a “one-time only payment” is a crock of BS.


Backstory: Since 1973 alone, Israel has received more than $120 billion “one-time only” US tax
dollars in MILITARY assistance alone, including three “one-time only” special aid packages.
<><>”one-time only” billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>”one-time only” billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>”one-time only” billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost a “one-time only” $5 billion.

Besides US military aid and weaponry, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian US foreign aid, which supports Israel’s broad economic development, its sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.

When Israel kills civilians, it plays right into the hands of Hamas. Everyone is expendable in their war.

You seem to know so much about Israel’s interior workings.

It’s a dam shame you couldn’t have told them Hamas was about to attack them.

Well Egypt and others tried warning them but they ignored the warnings. Personally I suspect that Netanyahu wanted this as an excuse to clear out Gaza and make himself some kind of hero. If so he certainly miscalculated.

Shouldn’t US Intelligence have caught wind of something also?

Will we send boots on the ground if Turkey or Egypt joins Hamas?

We’ve been lied into war in the past.

I say no. Close the border. No funding to any country unless it’s Humanitarian goods. Sell weapons to allies if needed.

The civilians have been warned to go to a certain area to avoid death... in any war there will be unfortunate casualties, BUT ISRAEL is doing all it can... HAMAS MUST be TERMINATED....
You want them here in the USA? Just keep telling Israel to stand DOWN!!!!

In the old days you would have been zotted for that one.

I know it sounds crazy but so far I’ve seen a half dozen former IDF members who were directly involved in Gaza security vehemently say that’s there’s no possible way this ever should have happened knowing what they do about the security measures in place. Not just that but it takes them 7 hours to adequately respond? Nope I’m not buying the official story.

You must have skipped your Alzheimer’s medication this morning. Maybe you should double up on your noontime dose. Calling people names does not win any arguments. It just means you have no valid argument.

Most of the numb skulls throwing Israel under the bus are to obdurate to help. So name calling is a fun distraction.

That’s a pittance. 50% of the typical monthly internet / cable TV bill.

Yes, the guy against killing civilians is the real terrorist. That’s some mighty fine logic there.

Go ahead and tag the mod and have them ban me. It really did this website a lot of good when they banned anyone and everyone who disagreed w the owner.

I could GAF if they ban me, dumbass.

If “Hamas can be terminated” why have they waited so long? And, if they can somehow manage to kill every Hamas member, won’t dozens spring up again?

There’s no military solution to this conflict. None. If there was, they would have implemented it long ago.

And, it’s the warmongers who make war in the Middle East then import the Muslim refugees. They are the ones at fault.

Tag a moderator. But always remember, those opposed to forever war and the murder of civilians are the Real Terrorists.
