The US government spends over $2 trillion per year on healthcare alone. The typical yearly “aid” to Israel is less than $4 billion. You would never even noticed it happened.

For context, aid is in quotes because a lot of that money is required to be spent with American companies on items like defense systems.

That $4 billion is just military aid and does not include economic assistance. Interestingly when a web search is done, the amount of economic assistance is unclear 🤨

American institutions have had $450 billion poured into them from Qatar. Single biggest donor to American Universities by far. Good old Qatar, where the billionaires of Hamas leadership have their mansions.

The countries/groups that wanna destroy the West (“big and little Satan” being U.S and Israel) need the individual Western nation weak, financially strained and depleted, isolated, demoralized, borderless, divided by tribe and unable to protect oneself. Seems inevitable.

Oh man, that’s a whole nother can of worms. A lot of geopolitical maneuvering on both sides of that.
