Military aid to Israel is really welfare for the US defense industry. Think military industrial complex.

Really? Just let those stink-en Jews fend for themselves because we don’t need their help designing weapons (without which numerous US weapons systems would not exist) and they deserve to be slaughtered by the 200 million muslims that surround them. Yeah!
People who don’t want our government to send our tax dollars to foreign countries may be isolationists, but they are not “soft” anti-semites as the article implies.
It’s ironic to note that Iron Dome is Israeli technology, not US. Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. Israel shared the technology with the US, not the other way around, and partnered with Raytheon to manufacture it here. Didn’t share it with anyone else. Now leftists and as you point out many on FR don’t want to follow through on the US commitment to provide aid to replenish Israel’s rocket supply, from a US provider, since Israel can do it yourself. Worth noting that at the same time the US promised aid to the Palestinian Authority and Gaza. No suggestion in Congress that commitment shouldn’t be honored. Or anywhere else. Aid to Israel’s enemies must not be a bad thing, despite the fact that many of them, Iran comes to mind, are our enemies too.
Was just watching this.
