My original comment on this thread referred to US taxpayer money. Please see my post #29.

It is not free money. We are sending them munitions and other weapon systems that are being refined for real time war fighting in this new age. The information we gather from Israel is priceless. have younoticed that lasers have been used to knock out Houthi Missiles?

I would like to see the end of free military aid to everyone. Secured loans are fine but Uncle Sugar is beyond broke.

But it’s not our fight.

It is our fight. Hamas has its fifth column inside our borders already, as demonstrated most recently in the DC murders at the Jewish Center. There are lots of wars in the world that are not our business, but this one is our business, and I'd rather annihilate Hamas there than here.

We brought them here so we don't have to fight them over there. Our fight is now here. Israels fight is there.

You make a fair point. But here’s the thing. I didn’t say the money was wasted. Lots of good can come out of such investments.

But again, we are a debtor nation. We can no longer afford to be placing bets all over the roulette table, hoping for a future return. That will help to ruin us.

So sell Israel what it needs. Share information. Support them at the UN and elsewhere. But no more free money.

So does Massie think we should stop supporting Ukraine because of all the civilian casualties? After all if Ukraine surrendered Russia would stop bombing Ukraine civilians, rigt?

Interesting question, with a loaded word, sort of like a pollster’s which seeks to elicit a pre-determined conclusion. Entitled? None. But who should be supported? Definitely Israel.

Massie as a matter of principle does not support aid to Israel spend the money on America First.

Fine with me.

I am a Zionist who sees the hatred of Israel in the context of Communists in a mainstream disguise like Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

So, I draw a line in terms of taking the side of the Left against Israel.

But heck hating Massie achieves nothing he is good on fiscal responsibility and is the only Congressman not bought to support Israel with money.

I support Israel and I’m not on their AIPAC payroll either.

And they do; and they do it very well. But as the only democratically run nation in a literal ocean of third world dictatorships whose leaders choose to blame Israel for all their corruption and human atrocities and who are committed to wiping out that dem-run nation, their situation demands support.

Let ‘em eat cake usually bites the purveyor of cake in the ass.

Massie should declare he is switching parties and become a Democrat, because he is a loyal stooge for the leftists (some would say a useful idiot).

Too obvious.

The RINOs are hanging out with the Democrats inside the Beltway.

Guys like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney should have run for office as Democrats if they wanted to be honest.

The Lord's opinion, in cased anyone is interested:

Num 24:8

God brought them out of Egypt; for them he is as strong as a wild ox. He devours all the nations that oppose him, breaking their bones in pieces, shooting them with arrows.

Num 24:9

Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to arouse her? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you.”

That my friends, is a spiritual law. 2mm and DJT isn't president.

Why doesn’t Anna Commander of Newsweek ask how many democrats support this insane idea?

Oh, I know - because ‘journalists’ whore for the democrat party... and THEY think this outlier idiot’s statement could hurt Republicans.

Hey Anna Commander here’s your next ‘assignment’ - “find one sentence that might show Trump ‘forgot’ something”. Then compare it to the lies you and the MSM used to protect dementia Joe for years.

Disgusting.
