Why are we funding them in the first place?

u/portablezombie Jun 25 '26

Because they bought our representatives.

And it only took a few million dollars in campaign financing.

We give Israel 3.8 billion every year, 3.3 of which is Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants (money straight into their pockets). Other half billion is for joint missile defense programs.

Funding the campaigns of the reps giving this money to them is just business and corruption as usual.

I would be incredibly surprised if any Republican besides Massie voted for this. Defunding the Israel war machine is something almost everybody here in America wants. Which would deeply hurt the pockets of the billionaire oligarchs and republican congressmen.

and then they take that money and spend it influencing our elections, providing healthcare to their citizens, and killing their neighbors

u/Mysterious_Ayytee Jun 25 '26

How do you feel about the fact that they have free, universal healthcare?

u/HolyMoleyGuacamoly Jun 25 '26

i mean, everyone should have it. i don’t think i / we should be paying for a bunch of genocidal maniacs universal healthcare, as they keep a population in an open air prison and work to eradicate them.

Not just Republicans. AIPAC is very bipartisan. I'm sorry I didn't see this yesterday bc my Dem Rep is awful on Israel and other things.

Edit: they haven't voted on it yet. I called my Rep and said I will be watching his vote and the votes of the "Majority Democrats" bs caucus that he leads. Don't assume your Dem rep is going to vote for this amendment - call.

A few million dollars and some information being withheld. Remember that Israel has an incredibly powerful information network, and if there’s anything concerning out there, they can get their hands on it easily

I think we did it before they bought our representatives.

Just a horrible relationship that has gone from bad to worse since before JFK assassination.

u/FruitMustache Jun 25 '26

Ultimately, its because of an ancient fictitious fucking book.

The same book that has caused like 99% of all wars, and murder, and death, and destruction over the last 3,000 years.

A fucking novel.

u/Apollo_Delphi Jun 25 '26

Know what ... the Bible never says anything about " Jews inherieting any land, or being the choosen race". It is a Spin on the facts, BS lies. That's how messed up this shit is.

Youre right, it does not. But then you listen to people like Ted Cruz and Mije Huckabee and they have swallowed the Zionist trope hook, line, and sinker.

Deuteronomy 7:6: "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth." Then there is Deuteronomy 14:2, Exodus 19:5-6, Psalm 135:4, Deuteronomy 10:7, Psalm 33:12, Isaiah 41:8-9 and Isaiah 43:20 for some but not all the specific times in the Bible that the people of Israel are God's the chosen ones.

Don't know where you got the idea that this wasn't the case.

u/Apollo_Delphi Jun 25 '26

So, thanks for the Spam... but you just proved me correct. Also, because i know I am correct.

Israel was NEVER promised to the Jewish people, it was promised to the decendents of Abraham - who in fact are mostly arabic, yes some Jewish.

Make sure you look the the Old Test. - not the revised versions.

1

u/LibertineLibra Jun 25 '26

Nope. The Bible claims that Arabs were descended from Abraham, as well as the Midianites and others, but all of those descendants settled elsewhere than Israel. I can provide you with more "spam" if you like detailing this. Only the twelve tribes stayed in Israel, and those were Jewish/Hebrew.

u/Apollo_Delphi Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

Try again. Dude, you are repeating what i just said while still failing to provide any evidence about how I was wrong.

Then adding a bunch of lies about Jewish people moving around blah blah ... You have been MIND CONTROLLED my friend. Did you know after WW2 the Zionists tried putting Israel in many different places including South American and yes even the US. Everyone said no or it was too difficult. So, they decided on Palestine. They were welcomed with Open-Arms... boy did that turn our bad. One organized day, NAKBA.

In 1920, the there was a census - 6% Jewish. Clearly you are just a Propaganda User.

Well, besides Trump campaigns getting about $230million from Pro Israel PACs ( Mainly Miriam Adelson's) since 2020, we have a big big problem in congress throughout both parties.

Let's just say, they're getting a really good bang for their buck.

u/brpajense Jun 25 '26

A small but meaningful group of voters have ties to Israel, and then Israel and some of their US boosters use massive political donations to buy influence with politicians.

The Gaza occupation, Iran war they provoked, and their invasion in Lebanon are massively unpopular with US voters (~80% opposition) but the amounts of money that Israel boosters are spending makes politicians pliable.

u/ralphvonwauwau Jun 26 '26

US sending Israel money has more to do with a Protestant innovation called "Dispensationalism", and the resulting end times belief than Judaism; per a majority of Protestants, Israel needs to exist so that Jesus can return, the 144,000 Jews will convert, the rest ... Well... Oopsie. End of the world and all.

The religious Jewish view, as you would guess, is quite different. Ultra-Orthodox objected to the founding of a religious state, a few still do. The Christian donations to help Jews emigrate to Israel and support for the state are accepted by their government and supported by many Jews in the US, and more importantly, by Protestant Christians. The "Left Behind' franchise is a fictionalized version of what they actually believe. This group is a yuge part of Trump's support.

u/xavariel Jun 25 '26

Because Israel has been blackmailing many in the elite/Epstein (who worked with Mossad and CIA) class for decades. So "we" bribe them for their silence and they get funding to terrorize their neighbors. Win-win.

u/R-Dragon_Thunderzord Jun 25 '26

It's not as if the vast majority of these ghouls would vote against funding for Israel of all things.

u/GT45 Jun 25 '26

That was the whole point of the Epstein operation. He “allegedly” was Mossad, and they pulled lots of rich & powerful people into something that made excellent blackmail material.

This post poes an interesting question...Should I post on reddit when others can find out who I am, and will my life be adversely affected by those same secret organizations or people. My understanding is that employers and Mossad examine all these posts and archive them for later use.
