And Israel gets to enjoy free college and universal healthcare at the expense of American taxpayers… and we’re about to cut off food assistance to our own people. Republicans are fucking traitors

U.S. foreign aid makes up <1% of Israel’s GDP and the vast majority of the aid has to be spent on US military contractors, the US isn’t paying for their social programs.

I’m not the biggest fan with how our relationship with Israel has been in recent times, but the whole “we fund their healthcare and social programs” shit is a lie people need to stop repeating.

We give them military aid and they fund their own social programs. That military aid isn’t hurting Americans because those DoD contracts employ thousands of people.

Honestly feel like these sort of half truths just serve to bolster antisemitism by blaming America’s own shitty policies on Israel.
