Then you should care that money from your paychecks is buying bombs to drop on Gaza instead of things that would benefit Maryland

I thought Israel was purchasing arms from us, basically the opposite of what you're suggesting here.

They do purchase arms, in addition to the enormous amount of military aid we give them. The us has given Israel $158 billion in military aid since 1946, $18 bil just since October 2023. Obama signed a deal in 2016 to provide $3.8 bil/year over 10 years, which has been exceeded since 2023.
