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.

Yep, I knew it, you singled out Israel again. You have a special hatred for it.
Giving himself away so soon? GTHYPOC!
That statement is a knife. Israel should integrate with the Palestinians? That statement is so callous & duplicitous that it gives a clear view of the man behind the mask. Israel’s planes can’t even land in most muslim countries.
But VR starts the meme that Israel is surrounded by new friend...friends that are bitter enemies that would erase Israel in a blink of an eye.
If Israel has strong deterrents and defenses, in generations there may be the creation of cooperative relationships. That will not happen in a handful of years. A world w/o Israel is a more dangerous world for the USA.
RE: a long-shot contender
It’s not really a long shot to take a shotgun and aim downward and shoot yourself in the foot. Easy.
Same with inserting a foot into the mouth. Just open.
We cannot retreat into our shell lest when we turn around we are under assault from abroad. That would be very foolish. We live in the world and we must deal with that fact. Trump will make America prosperous again without leaving us vulnerable to developments abroad.
We have over a trillion dollars per year going to people who
are too lazy to get off their backside and leave welfare.
Granted some of them can’t, but we just don’t give a darn.
All they talk about is Medicare and Social Security needing
to be cut.
I understand your point, but I think there are other places
to do some cutting.
I want money spent here at home too, but the good old boys
keep asking for $20 billion here, and $50 billion there,
for their pet projects. They could be spending quite a bit
on necessities if they wanted to.
Genesis 12:3
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
All good points in my opinion. You touched on a number of
good reasons even comparatively for Israel to get support
from us.
Israel does tweak us from time to time, but they have to
make decisions based on their national needs, like we do.
Sometimes we may talk past each other and have a dust up,
but at the end of the day, Israel knows who will be there
for it, when it needs them.
Biden is an ass, but either Trump or someone else will be
back to watch Israel’s back. They know it.
A few.? There are probably thousands..
They are the ones who run the narcotic businesses for the demoncrats.. Billions in dollars... Money, money, money.
I did my homework chump.
Not the “Chosen people.”
Sorry
This bankrupt country is $33 trillion in debt and going deeper every second. We don’t have any money to be giving away to ANY other country.

Millions
Regardless of the merits, it’s political suicide.
“Another Jew hater who should be a Democrat.”
On what do you base that assertion?
Exactly. Welfare is a destructive force that damages families generation after generation. Gradually all that can work should work and the next generation of kids should be given the tools to succeed in the workplace and the expectation that they can & should succeed..
Clear priorities need to be established in spending.
Congress wastes extraordinary sums on graft and to deliver pork.
The behavior of NIH, National Endowment for the Arts, and FDA, all with projects and subsidies that are not focused on valid American interests suggests that those agencies should be completely gutted and revised on smaller and tightly focused areas.
The Department of Education, of Energy and many other bureaucratic warehouses should be eliminated or reduced to a skeleton of the present staff and a fraction of present purview.
Similarly the IRS, DOJ, CIA need to be reined in and defunded. Maybe this is the time to switch to a VAT and eliminate the IRS. Since VAT hits the poor hardest I would foresee areas that would be exempt up to a certain level so that inexpensive clothing and basic food would be untaxed. What a wonderful world it would be without the IRS and how much we would save as a Nation on tax preparation time and costs as well as IRS salaries.
Israel is still loved. Go back and read Roman’s 9 to 11. The Olive Tree is a Jewish one. Gentiles are grafted into it. The Faith is Jewish.
The fallacy is that by not spending money on our International priorities that money will be available for use here at home. The left will just batten on it for reparatins or universal transexual surgery coverage.
We need to clean up our act at home that is how we will get out of this hole. Foreign aid should be spend on Countries that cooperate in advancing America’s priorities.
