@Jodie529J@tracyohanlon74@Mary40398@charise_lee Assuming you are superstitious and believe in the big book of fairy tales, Revelation 2:9 does not justify hating all Jews. Dispensationalist Christians, the majority, explain it was aimed at one small group of people in Smyrna who persecuted Jesus, not to all Jews.
During WW2 the U.S. and England killed millions of German and Japanese civilians. Were FDR and Churchill war criminals committing genocide? No. They were fighting a just war. The dead civilians were the fault of the Nazis and Imperial Japan. In Gaza the dead civilians are the fault of Hamas, which to this day has refused to surrender.
Calling Israel’s just war in response to Oct 7 a genocide is a risible lie. If Israel wanted to kill all Gazans, it could have done so in 2 days. It would not have sent texts and leaflets warning civilians to leave. It would not have provided polio vaccines. Hamas could have ended the war any time by releasing the hostages and surrendering their arms. That is not a genocide.
@TheChickyLittle@charise_lee There are no Palestinians because there was never a country called Palestine. They are just a class of Arabs no other Arab country wants. Never a king, queen, parliament or distinct language. They are an invented people who will soon be footnotes in history.
Calling it a genocide is laughable. There are more Arabs in Gaza now than before the war started. If Israel wanted to kill everyone in Gaza, they could have done it in 2 days. You do not send leaflets warning people to leave and supply polio vaccines if you want to commit genocide.
Less than 0.3 % of the U.S. budget goes to aid to Israel, and virtually all of it is spent on defense contractors in the U.S. Do you care about money spent on welfare, DEI, LGBTQ or other countries? Assume you pay taxes and are not a welfare queen, Israel is not the reason your life sucks.
@Canbage5678@BiggsNood@charise_lee No. I will enjoy watching you and your fellow loser Jew-haters suffer as Israel gets more powerful and the Israel/U.S alliance gets stronger. Your angry rants in the sewers of X make Jews like me laugh. You are impotent. Your voice and votes don’t matter.
People pretend the US-Israel Memorandum of Understanding is some generous act of charity, or that Washington is doing Israel a favor. That’s completely backwards and wrong.
If anything, the deal is heavily in America’s favor.
Here’s what the US gets:
Jointly developed missile defense: Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow. Boeing builds Arrow 3, Raytheon co-produces David’s Sling, Tamir interceptors are manufactured in US factories, and the US Army operates Iron Dome.
Better protection for American troops: Israeli Trophy systems protect US Abrams tanks. Iron Fist was selected for Bradley Fighting Vehicles. The LITENING targeting pod is a cornerstone of US precision strike capability. Even the Israeli bandage is standard issue in US military medical kits.
Combat-tested innovation: AI, drones, cyber, autonomous systems, battlefield medicine, and intelligence developed under real combat conditions, not in a laboratory.
The money largely stays in America: The overwhelming majority of the $3.8 billion is spent on American-made weapons, supporting US factories and workers. Israel Aerospace Industries alone works with more than 800 American suppliers across 44 states.
Proven loyalty: Israel canceled a $1 billion defense deal with China, absorbed roughly $350 million in losses, and repeatedly walked away from lucrative cooperation whenever it conflicted with American strategic interests.
Meanwhile, people who haven’t read a single page of the Memorandum of Understanding keep pretending the US is somehow being taken advantage of, or that Washington is in a position to “teach Israel a lesson” by threatening the agreement.
The reality is this:
America isn’t maintaining this partnership out of charity. It’s maintaining it because it serves American interests.
The feigned outrage is comical. Where is the emotion about the Iranian regime murdering 42,000 people in 3 days? Where was the fury when Assad butchered hundreds of thousands of his own people? What about the real genocides in Africa? Kasparian and you should be honest and admit you hate when Jews defend themselves.
@TheChickyLittle@charise_lee The U.S. firebombed Hamburg and Tokyo. We dropped atomic bombs on Japan. Millions of German and Japanese civilians were killed. Virtually no American civilians were killed. Does that mean FDR was a war criminal and the U.S. committed genocide?
@lefty0220@charise_lee A compliment considering the source. Just looked it up. Aid to Israel ranges from 0.05% to 0.3% of the U.S. budget, depending on the year. Hardly the reason the Israel-haters can’t buy a house. It’s because they are stupid and lazy.
Haaretz is leftist trash. If you read anything other than memes you would know that. You would also know the U.S. does not give foreign aid as charity. It is given for something in return. Aid to Israel is far less than 1% of the U.S. budget. If your life sucks, don’t blame the Jews.
I was referring to Jews in the U.S. if you are complaining about foreign aid, the U.S. gives to many countries without getting anything in return. The aid from the U.S. is only 15% of Israel’s defense budget and it is all spent in the U.S. on American defense contractors. Israelis pay for their own healthcare and education via higher taxes. Read a book.
The $3.3 billion the US gives Israel is not charity, it’s a high-return investment.
Israel serves as America’s most valuable real-world military testing ground.
Israeli pilots made hundreds of critical modifications to the F-16 alone, improvements that were later incorporated into jets sold worldwide.
The global aerospace and defense industry is worth over $400 billion annually.
Every battle-tested upgrade increases the value and competitiveness of American weapons systems sold globally.
This is one of the smartest defense investments the United States makes.
@lefty0220@charise_lee Somehow we managed to succeed without affirmative action and preferential treatment. Perhaps it comes from a culture that values education.
