👉 Israel can take $500 million they appropriate for free college and Healthcare for Israeli citizens and apply it instead to spending on Defense.

Notice the U.S. doesn't say "Here Germany, France, UK, Italy, Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, etc, Japan, Mexico, Argentina, Guatemala, lots other Central and South American countries, and Eastern and Eestern European countries, and lots of other allies all around the world, here's 4 or 5 billion each to buy weapons from us"?

Google's AI:

"Money provided by the United States to Israel for the purchase of American military weapons through the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program is generally not required to be paid back, according to the U.S. Department of State. This is because the FMF program provides grants, not loans."

A breakdown below: 👇

A.) 👉

Google AI:

“Here’s a more detailed breakdown [$$$ in grants to Israel]:

Annual FMF: $3.3 billion

Annual Missile Defense Funding: $500 million

Total Annual Assistance: $3.8 billion

Total FMF since 2009: $3.4 billion for missile defense

Cumulative US Aid to Israel: Over $124 billion since WWII (not adjusted for inflation).

Current 10-year MOU: $38 billion for FY2019-FY2028.

B.) Google AI:

“Besides Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, the U.S. provides FMF (Foreign Military Financing) grant money to several other countries, including Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Portugal, Pakistan, Yemen, and Greece.”

Some though will go full libtard and name call saying it’s antisemitic to be against giving grants to Israel.

Shouldn’t be giving them to anyone...

1.) Rep. AOC voted to send $500 million to fund Israel’s missile defense program, against the amendment Rep. MTG proposed to slash the foreign aid.

https://x.com/AFpost/status/1946332385366474835

2.) I’ve introduced amendments to strip billions in foreign aid from the Defense Appropriations Bill.

America is $37 TRILLION in debt. Our people are broke and cannot afford the cost of living.

Congress sends your money to every foreign war and foreign country like it’s their job.

No one sends us aid. No one helps when we are struggling.

I want a Department of Defense that puts AMERICA FIRST.

https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1945928403414036764

3.) Tonight all of my amendments to cut $1.6 billion of foreign aid out of our Defense budget failed because both Republicans and Democrats refuse to stop sending your hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries.

For example, $118 million to foreign countries for disaster relief like floods that haven’t even happened yet.

And $15 million for AIDS education activities for soldiers in Africa. I mean can’t they figure that out by now?

And my amendment to stop sending money to Ukraine. Yep that one failed too.

We are $37 TRILLION in debt and Congress will never ever fix it because they will never ever stop the insane out of control spending that drives inflation up and makes your life unaffordable.

Sell our friends what they need.

But the US is a debtor nation, and not by just a little. We can no longer afford to be a rich daddy figure to the world.

It’s antisemitic not to bestow huge amounts of money on Israel every year according to some on here. Nevermind that we are $37 trillion in debt. Giving money to Israel is like giving money to God. /s

And some try to foment grief between Christiandom and Israel.

It seems the American people have spoken through their representatives.

Deal with it.

These corrupt politicians on AIPAC’s payroll all need to be gone. You’re free to donate your own money to Israel if you want.
