It's Stunning Who Led the Charge to Screw Israel Out of an Aid Package
2021-05-28
[Townhall] Okay, it's not shocking, and this story died when it became increasingly clear that Democrats who hate Israel had no chance of blocking a $735 million aid package that was greenlit by Joe Biden. Right now, there is a fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Hamas has spent the better part of a month firing thousands of rockets into Israel from Gaza. This won't last. There's going to be another war because Hamas is a group of genocidal terrorists who must destroy Israel. That's the side Rep.

Wastage is burning billions in islamic shitholes over dick measuring and hubris. Also, your taxpayers are not obligated to aid people in the third world who don't care for them anyway. A more justifiable use of their money is to strategically strengthen what allies you do have, to supplement their forces against your enemies and build unassailable coalitions.

This is the duty of a responsible State, not charity or posturing using their citizens' money.

#2  The belief of a primitive in his (its?) own cleverness never ceases to amaze me.

#1  A developed First World country does not need aid from the US or anyone else. They can well afford their own costs.
