It's a doubled sided genocide. America send money over to Israel so they can kill they're own citizen and the US doesn't have the money to save its citizens lives.

It'd be so much easier if they both stopped trying to kill people

I'm not form the us and don't really care, but that seems off. Does anyone have a source?

You mean decent, hardworking capitalist Americans are subsidising a socialist hellscape??? 😯

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Its more fascist America funds national socialist Israel.

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pffft, details shmetails. If it's got socialism in the name it's the devil. I don't wanna risk any of my tax dollars going to help me or - heaven forbid, my neighbor - when it could be used to push a hard working billionaire's pile that much closer to trickling down! I can almost feel that golden shower already!

51st state with plausible deniability

Yeah right ... their own tax base is enough to cover the cost of public services like that ...

... but a genocide? ... Palestine ain't gonna genocide itself ... that shit costs money

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 21 points 1 week ago

A lot of the money goes towards to illegal colonial settlements. These cost far more in security and infrastructure and the social services there are much more expensive to get more people to go there for "good roads and schools".

Even before the genocide Israel has been heavily subsidized by the US and other allies.

As UNRWA has been covering much of the humanitarian obligations Israel has as an occupying force over the past half century the global community has been subsidizing Israel with dozens of billions too.

Countries with nukes should never receive any aid for anything, ever.

That should be the price of having nukes.

I wish Trump would chicken out on this.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Isn't that all military equipment?

Which is worse. Like it's not that the US is subsidizing something good like higher education, but rather bombs and guns for faster genocide?

[–] threeganzi@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Money doesn’t have labels on it. If they don’t need to spend their own money on military they can spend it on other things. So you could argue the US is at least indirectly funding these things.

The dumbass people in this country didn't get jealous of the universal health care they paid to institute in Iraq. There's no hope.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Foreign aid isn't given in the form of direct cash payments. Trump also seems to think foreign aid works that way.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

If those numbers are to be believed... That's 1 dollar per person in Israel per day.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

That's because it takes our tax dollars and turns it around and pays it to overpriced government contractors which is good for "the economy".

It is good for a certain economy for certain people, but it isn't good for us all.

You must be impoverished to enrich America's genocidal garrison state in the Middle East.
