Did we "give" billions to Iran? Or only unfreeze billions of their assets?
Either way, I'm opposed to all foreign aid, but this thread is about Israel, a nation unique in the amount and length of time it's received aid money.
Consider
Israel DOES NOT NEED U.S. foreign aid. Israel is an extremely wealthy nation, with its own tech billionaires and tech industries.
Israel has a generous WELFARE STATE, providing free college tuition and universal health care to all its citizens. It can afford this partly because we subsidize its military.
If we eliminated aid to Israel, Israel wouldn't suffer militarily. It need only shift spending from its welfare state to its military.
If the U.S. wanted to give free college education and health care to all its citizens, you'd probably be screaming SOCIALISM! Yet you have no problem with us indirectly subsidizing free college and health care for Israel citizens.
Defend Western Civilization.
Support Israel as an outpost against rampaging islamism.
