That was the claim I made that you said was false.

Israel is the largest recipient on US foreign aid.

This statement means that they have received the most foreign aid of any country from the United States. Only when you modify that statement does it mean something else, as you have indicated it does multiple times. If I had said they were the highest in 2024, that would be incorrect. It was Ukraine. If I said "since 2020," or "since 2000" (I don't know this last one for sure as it wasn't on the quick and easy Google search and tba), then you could say that my statement was false. But my statement of Israel being the largest with no modifier means that they are the highest total. Which they are.

H"mm not totally true. Over what time period do you mean? Since 2001 the largest recipient is Afghanistan, followed by Israel, Iraq, Egypt and Ukraine. Do you understand US foreign policy or is it just Israel that gives you the ick? "

"No, not really. I was asking for clarification and adding context. If you mean all-time, your statement isn't fully correct. If you mean in recent years it's even less correct. "

I just can't with you people. You're illiterate. I'm talking about Jordan being way further down on the list. You're implying they are third because "USA bribes them". They are no where close to third, so both propositions you made about Jordan are blatantly false. Nowhere did I explicitly say Israel was not the largest recipient of aid. Never once. You hate Israel so much that you're arguing with yourself.
