The USS Liberty conspiracy theory asks you to accept that Israel, a nation of 2.5 million people fighting for its literal survival on six fronts simultaneously against 110 million Arabs equipped with Soviet tanks, Soviet aircraft, and Soviet warships, and with no formal American alliance, no American weapons, and no guarantee that anyone was coming to save them, is chose day four of that existential war to deliberately attack the one country on earth that might eventually become their ally, in broad daylight, in international waters, leaving 174 survivors who could identify the attacking forces, while fourteen separate investigations across two governments found zero evidence of intent, while Israel’s own military had accidentally bombed its own armored column the day before proving how catastrophically identification fails in wartime chaos, and while not a single one of the conspiracy theory’s proponents in nearly six decades of trying has ever managed to agree on what Israel was actually trying to accomplish by doing it.
Heavy lift.
Devil is dead !
IRGC Chief Ahmad Wahidi, who threatened to make the dead sea a graveyard for Jews this morning, as per Iranian opposition news outlet, was killed in Israeli airstrikes in Tehran, just a while ago.
Official confirmation awaited
@atensnut I love Trump, but Israel has a right to defend itself. I'm getting a little disappointed that we look weak. Israel's not going to let themselves look weak
@RepThomasMassie@DanCrenshawTX And for how many years in Congress that you never mentioned it until now?? So when it's convenience
To go along with your Israeli hate. Same story as not a word about epstein for all your years in congress until now
WHAT WE GIVE ISRAEL
The standard US military aid package is $3.8 billion per year $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing plus $500 million for joint missile defense programs. Israel must spend most of this on US-made products and services, and by 2028 essentially all of it must be spent in America.
WHAT ISRAEL GIVES BACK
1. F-35 R&D Savings: 55 billion
Israel resolved multiple technical issues during the F-35’s early development, reducing US R&D costs by an estimated $55 billion and accelerating deployment timelines.  The total F-35 program cost was $55 billion in R&D Israel’s combat testing effectively saved the US from having to discover and fix those problems on their own dime.
2. Intelligence Value: equivalent to 5 CIAs (75 billion/year)
General George Keegan, former Chief of US Air Force Intelligence, stated that Israel’s intel value equals “5 CIAs” providing a 400% return on investment on the $3.8 billion aid package. One CIA budget runs approximately $15 billion.  Five times that equals roughly $75 billion worth of intelligence annually for $3.8 billion in aid.
3. Strategic Base Value: $15–20 billion/year
As stated by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and General Alexander Haig, Israel is the largest US aircraft carrier that does not require US military personnel on board, cannot be sunk, and is deployed in a critical region sparing the US the need to manufacture, deploy, and maintain real aircraft carriers with ground divisions, which would cost the US $15–20 billion annually. 
4. F-35 Export Multiplier: $40 billion in sales, $173 billion backlog
Israel’s battle-tested performance and upgrades to the F-35 contribute to $40 billion in US exports and a $173 billion backlog for US industry.  Israel essentially serves as the world’s most credible advertisement for American weapons.
5. Jobs and Economic Output: 255,000 jobs, $72 billion annually
The F-35 economic engine alone supports 290,000 US employees and $72 billion in annual economic output.  Israeli stakeholders hold contracts with over 1,000 American companies across 48 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.
Why do people need to lie about this?
Because they have nefarious reasons.
There’s no other reason to lie about this stuff.
BREAKING: Turning Point releases footage of Charlie Kirk saying he wants Erika to takeover if anything ever happens to him.
Another Candace Owens lie debunked.
@MassieforKY It's funny how all you democrats keep leaving out the word " forever" You all just act like you didn't hear that word but everyone outside you Democrats and the woke right heard what he actually said. " NO MORE FOREVER WARS"
Remember when Hamas celebrated the ceasefire by dragging Gazans into the streets, tying them up, and executing them in front of cheering crowds?
That wasn't Israel.
That wasn't "occupation."
That wasn't a checkpoint.
That was Gaza's ruling regime murdering its own people in broad daylight.
The tragedy of this conflict is not that Israel exists.
It's that Hamas does.
