Congress is right to block funding for Israel

Republicans in Congress are right to block funding for Israel. Other issues are obviously more important. Of course Dems don't mind wasting our money.

Wait, you, either a Republican parody or a Republican, worried about wasting money on wars? That's HILARIOUS.

How much did Bush Dubya cost the US?

You question spending money on war after 9/11?

You question spending money on war after 9/11?

Yes.

What did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Absolutely NOTHING.

And yet Bush went in there and it cost the US about $1 trillion.

Of course, it wasn't about 9/11, it was about oil. Four OPEC countries who hated the US in 2001, Iraq, invaded, Libya, bombed, both had their dictators killed. Then Iran and Venezuela, one of whom had a US supported (or led) coup d'etat against it in 2002. Heavy sanctions against both countries too.

The costs in healthcare for veterans of the Iraq War and the subsequent fuck up of the post war period is HUGE

"he U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest, a study released on Thursday said."

So, the medical care is going to cost more than two times the actual cost of war and occupation in the next three decades and the last two.

On 9/11 we were attacked by Muslims. Dems seem surprised when we seek revenge against Muslim nations.

Even if the nation had nothing to do with attacking us?

Agree, only if we stop aid to Ukraine.

Your initially post is correct but then you go and lose any standing you had by posting something like this.

The world's wealthiest and most aggressive Welfare State has managed to extract $ Trillions from easily duped and naive Americans(1) who don't even know that any aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington - Glenn Amendment (2).

Of course these allegedly brilliant Israelis can't even support themselves when their primary export is Hasbara propaganda and outdated Holocaust pity mongering.

Wake up, America, Israel is not your "ally".

https://www.wrmea.org/003-june/the-...israeli-palestinian-conflict-$3-trillion.html
By Thomas R. Stauffer

EXCERPT "Similarly, aid to Israel—and thus the regional total—also is understated, since much is outside of the foreign aid appropriation process or implicit in other programs. Support for Israel comes to $1.8 trillion, including special trade advantages, preferential contracts, or aid buried in other accounts. In addition to the financial outlay, U.S. aid to Israel costs some 275,000 American jobs each year."CONTINUED

Lawsuit Claims Aid to Nuclear Israel Illegal Under Symington Glenn Amendments - Corporate Crime Reporter

EXCERPT "A lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. claims that United States aid to Israel is illegal under a law passed in the 1970s that prohibits aid to nuclear powers that don’t sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Such aid violates longstanding bans on foreign aid to non-signatories to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) with nuclear weapons programs, the lawsuit alleges."CONTINUED

$3 trillion dollars is what we squandered when we searched for WMDs that we knew didn`t exist.

We were on the hunt for terrorists. Who gives a shit if Iraq was involved in 9/11? Cuz its not fair? Pfff, tell that to Kuwait. Iraqis had no problem spending plundered Kuwaiti gold.

The truth is, Iraq became ground zero for terrorists who wanted to attack the US. They came in from all over the Middle East to kill Americans, and we slaughtered them at will. We DECIMATED Al Qaeda, which then caused a new group to spawn in the Middle East.... ISIS, and then we decimated them too.

Are you going to telll me about all the civilian casualties now? I dont give a flying fuck about them. Their deaths put the fear of god into all the bad leaders in the world. No one wants to end up like Saddam hiding in a hole, let alone end up like Gaddafi.

We sent a message to the world... "Fuck with the US and you get the pointy end of the stick, and maybe youll get the pointy end of the stick even if you DONT fuck with us. Tread lightly around crazy American's."

I couldnt be happier with the results.

As Colin Powell honestly stated. The BS war could only be sold to the public by claiming it was in self defense and we chose Iraq because we knew they had no military to oppose us. It would, be a "cakewalk" Donald Rumsfeld said. Iraq was ground zero for terrorists but none of the 19 hijackers were from Iraq or Iran. The invasion of Iraq was a criminal act. We`ve been there for 20 years and still haven`t found Gomer`s WMDs. Yes you`re happy with the results because you`re not one of the thousands of double amputees or parents of a soldier who lost their life for a lie. Iraq didn`t fuck with us and didn`t have the means to do so if they wanted to.

There were not that many soldiers lost in, what... a 15 year war? Wasnt it only like 3,000 soldiers dead? It was the most lopsided victory in world history. Im quite happy with those results.

Meanwhile, we obliterated Al Qaeda and ISIS, Saddam was toppled and so was Gaddafi. We also gave women in Afghanastan a reprieve from the Taliban, who we also mowed down. The numbers of extremists killed was immense!!!

Im very happy with the results. The only issue i have is we shouldnt have spent a dime rebuilding these places. Rubble should have been left as a reminder not to fuck with the greatest nation on Earth.

Seems the hypocrisy goes full circle.

With the poverty we have in America record homelessness in this country we can’t be sending money to those countries. And of all those countries you listed, Israel is the last country that needs our money. Ukraine is facing a legitimate military in the Russian armed forces, China has a legitimate military. Of course Palestine ain’t got nothing but rocks and AK-47s. Looks like people from the IDF allow the October 7 attack to occur.


And of course Israel is surrounded by allies. Those countries like turkey and Iran, who have politicians who say they will do something don’t do anything. They talk a big game you would think by now they would’ve sent their military or Air Force to bomb Tel Aviv of course they’ve done nothing. It’s been almost 3 months and Israel is doing whatever it wants to Gaza. There is nobody in the world fighting for the people of Gaza other than some militants in Gaza with rocks and AK-47. It’s a joke.

Thanks to Republicans like Thomas Massey, who opposes funding foreign countries in a time when we have record inflation in America.
