    The best explanation I heard was that any funding at all, even if it’s for a “defensive” weapon, is still funding that makes doing their genocide easier.

    Another good take I heard is something along the lines of “they have healthcare and we don’t, they can fund their fucking iron dome themselves”.

      They’re not entitled to billions of dollars of our money every year. Especially when they continually treat Palestinians the way they do.

        I agree entirely. I’m not against foreign aid as a concept at all, but I feel like it should be extremely conditional and the shit Israel is pulling in Palestine very much justifies pulling any and all aid we’re providing them. Children shouldn’t be dying, full stop.
