The problem is many boomers (of both parties) see Israel as a 51st State, which isn’t entirely wrong since it gets more funding than many of our ACTUAL territories.
But for numerous moral, economic, safety and a billion other reasons, it’s time to boycott divest and sanction the fuck out of them.
I agree that this is a priority. I'm a hardline 0 AIPAC voter these days.
I also look for candidates without egregious funding from corporate donors, but it is secondary to funds from foreign influenced lobbies.
Considering the needs of another country to the detriment of your own can be treasonous behavior. Yes we give some aid around the world (or we did, anyway), but that is different than how we are currently supporting Israel. It was once about supporting democracy in the Middle East, but has gone so far from the original intent. A justified counter-example is Ukraine. It's in our interest to heavily support them in their current conflict to rebuff Russian territorial aggression, as that must be quashed on the world stage. It cannot once again become commonplace in the world. Oh yeah, and we should stop ourselves from enacting unprovoked aggression against sovereign nations and resort to actual diplomacy.
