    Too bad the Palestinians are totally inept at fighting and military operations. That's their fault and nobody else's.

    As I keep saying: I war, the only true war crime is losing. The dickhead on the ground being held down should be thankful the troops didn't just shoot him and move on.

    If the US funded Palestinians and defunded Israel then Israel would disappear.

    No, it wouldn't. Israel has a functioning economy and society. Israel is receiving about $3.3 billion in foreign aid. Their current GDP is $420 billion. US foreign aid amounts to less than 1% of Israel's economy. They have an industrial sector that can produce a wide range of goods and services and their military is largely equipped with material produced internally.

    If the US gave the same amount to Palestine it'd amount to about 20% of their GDP as currently the Palestinian territories have a GDP of about $15 billion.

    That's how pathetic, corrupt, incompetent, mismanaged, and stupid the Palestinian territories are run. That's almost entirely an internal problem, not one that foreign aid can fix.

    Good, let Israel stop taking welfare payments from the US. We agree, let them be independent.

    Sure, so long as we also don't muck in their business when they decide to stomp on the Palestinians for shooting rockets into their country...

    Cut all welfare payments to Israel. Let us see how tough they are without Uncle Sam.

    You really are clueless aren't you? Those are Israeli designs manufactured in Israel. In fact, they export some of that elsewhere in sales. I already showed that the total US foreign aid to Israel amounts to less than 1% of their GDP. Israel made $345 million in military weapons sales to other nations in 2020 alone, while their total military exports were $7.2 billion or double what the US gives in foreign aid.

    From one of the comments...

    My grandfather who just passed was very upset that he went to war to stop one genocide just to watch those people go on to commit genocide the rest of his life. It's disgusting that he died with that shame.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    What do think warfare is, like some PVP / FPS video game? That heroic one on one shit went out the door with David and Goliath (and the Palestinian ancestor lost that one too).

    So you weren't talking about courage and expertise then- you were talking about remote cowardice and AI-assisted inadequacy. Gotcha.

    The USA funds their healthcare, including abortions, which are absolutely non-controversial in Israel. Ever hear a bible thumping anti-choicer right winger complain about that?
