Vivek Ramaswamy, a long-shot contender for the Republican presidential nomination, said in an interview that the United States should reduce its aid to Israel.
In an interview on Rumble, a platform popular with far-right viewers, Ramaswamy said Israel should not get more aid than its Middle Eastern neighbors after 2028, the year that the current US aid package of $38 billion expires.

Nope
The Swami just lost the Jewish vote, gained a few Islamic ones but he is now doomed.
We dodged another bullet.
The Swami... Smile
I don’t know how deeply I can trust the guy. He’s quite new
to me so I don’t have much track record to go on, watching
him and all.
“Foreign aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries’’.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie — behold, I will make them to come and worship at thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Vivek Ramaswamy was not my first choice to start wsith, but the more I see of him, the more he engenders less and less trust for me every day.
To assume Israel is God’s country.. this guy just stepped in it. His personal belief would not turn out well for the United States. To be informed and wise, don’t go making anti Israel remarks.

Didn’t include aid to the palestinians since they’ve never been a country.
See my post 110, 111 which were meant for the list.
“WEIRDO”; finally, someone gets it! Who is this Ramadingdong guy, and why is he bothering me?
Big big misatke for Vivek. It’s a position that would insure he could not get a GOP nomination. He should switch to the Libertarian party where many of his positions are or would be approved.
Lol, you probably think we fought for the wrong side in WWII.

“In the field, he is one of the strongest supporters of trump.
That’s why there is such an effort to attack him
Now at FR”
Trump is a great supporter of Israel. Vivek obviously is not. He shot his mouth off and is now going to regret it. By the way, Vivek was very against Jan6 and badmouthed Trump about it. Vivek says what he thinks Trump supporters want to hear. He is very glib and young. Beware of what you think you wish for in a candidate. Vivek is not the answer.
“I don’t agree.
Ramasampy is aligning with trump as a campaign strategy to gain favor.
He has the stank of a New World Order sycophant on his Brahmin hide.”
BINGO. RIGHT YOU ARE.
“We should be reducing foreign aid across the board. I could see helping out a country that had some terrible natural disaster but otherwise they should be on their own. We are beyond broke”
Because Israel is our eyes and ears to the very unstable Middle East. Their intelligence apparatus is excellent and of great value to our Country’s foreign policy. And virtually the only Democracy surrounded by a sea of Arab dictatorships hostile to our interests for the most part now as the Biden Admin has taken a wrecking ball to U.S. MidEast policies under Trump.
