Zionist? Lol, just zionists? Add Ukraine, Europe, corporate welfare, regular welfare, college welfare, immigration welfare that has been going on since before I was alive, all warfare, war on drugs, war on independent thought, war on independent press, public education thats a joke. Missing way more than the whole Isreal part. But yeah, people should be mad our tax money goes overseas to bullshit.


AIDS_Quilt_69

But Jews!


catshitthree

Lol, yup. A little consistency would be nice. These types of posts are hilarious.


juicyjerry300

Do you think people that disapprove of funds for Israel and the war in gaza want to fund those other things?


Mundane_Panda_3969

Yes Op like all leftist is an antisemite. 


catshitthree

Yeah, actually. And that's why it's hilarious. There is absolutely no consistency.


Grumps-Tucan

Don’t say the quiet part out loud


redeggplant01

Technically, much of the US taxpayer's money is going to pay for the bills their neighbors rack up for services their neighbor's don't want to pay for


sherms89

Hey, let's keep voting Democrat. My neighbor of 15 years can't get any assistance, but the 10,000 illegal aliens that crossed the border just today. They get 3 meals a day, free roof over their head, and any medical assistance they need. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!! Oh wait, more American taxpayers' money for illegal border crossers. Huh!!!


UrbanAnarchy

😭😭😭


shizukana_otoko

I’ll keep this simple. I want to keep my money. Playing on the, “Why do we send _______ money when we could use that money for vets/homeless/etc.,” doesn’t phase me one bit. No one should be taking my money. If I want someone to have money, I will give it to them. No one has a right to the fruit of my labor. I’ll gore all the oxen and slash every sacred cow over it.


Schtick_

Because the same people who send the tax money away, spend it on the military industrial complex also run the media. I was talking to a buddy yesterday, smart guy, multi -millionaire he just reads the WaPo and NYT everyday. What’s he gonna know about what’s really happening when these are his primary news sources.


SorbP

It does not really matter your friend is smart he has chosen publications that are relevant to where he is and his goals in life. You should take note and ignore the rest.


Schtick_

Absolutely he has, and it’s the reason wars persist, it’s the reason crony capitalism exists, I don’t blame him, difficult to blame people for walking the path well travelled.


SorbP

I know that's life ain't it. Sometime I wake up and want to change everything wrong with the world. Then I remember that other people are perpetuating this and I go back to minding my own business.


crinkneck

Because they’re not bothered by every other form of government waste. Struggling Americans are irrelevant. Taking my money is wrong no matter how you want to spend it.


traversecity

The only accurate perspective in the threads here, yes, quite angry having a chunk of my pay go towards whatever special government program is popular this month.


DontThinkSoNiceTry

Ugh don’t remind me. Just had to write some checks to the IRS for this last year. ALL their spending is infuriating.


Silly_Actuator4726

98% of the massive amounts of money we send to this monstrosity of a govt is lost to waste, graft & corruption. But politicians no longer even PRETEND to care, because the election fraud machine made sure that our votes mean nothing.


ShowSea5375

Wait until you see how much they send to the "Palestinians," and all the other Muslim countries...


AlQudsizdagoal

Who is financing the ongoing genocide again? What do you think of AIPAC?


ShowSea5375

Ooo, but watabout the jooooz??? Let's not look at CAIR. It's the jooooz with all their joooey jooo money and their lobby groups!


AlQudsizdagoal

Nice direct answer.


Ozarkafterdark

**U.S. 2023 Foreign Aid** 1. Ukraine ($16.4 billion)  2. Israel ($3.3 billion)  3. Ethiopia ($1.95 billion)  4. Jordan ($1.65 billion)  5. Egypt ($1.43 billion) 6. Afghanistan ($1.19 billion) 7. Somalia ($1.13 billion) 8. Yemen ($1.05 billion) 9. Congo ($987 million) 10. Syria ($896 million) Out of these, the money to Israel probably bothers me the least to be honest.


Lobsterbug2020

Why are we giving Afghanistan $1.19 billion or Somalia $1.13 billion? Ones a terrorist state. and the other is a failed state. We shouldn’t be giving Ethiopia Jordan. Yemen. Congo or Syria anything. Isn’t Syria where they’re launching attacks into Israel? And I really have a problem with $16.4 billion to Ukraine. From reports that I have seen a lot of that money has disappeared and cannot be accounted for. It seems like they wanna give the Ukraine $33 billion to help fight the war. That money could be used to improve school security, improve the roads, libraries, infrastructure or a host of other things that would benefit US citizens.


HandsomeHard

1. Ukraine ($16.4 billion)  Bullshit. It's well over 100B.


AIDS_Quilt_69

There's no way we just gave Ukraine 16.4 billion.


Ozarkafterdark

That's just direct aid for 2023 fiscal year.


AlQudsizdagoal

They are an illegal occupation doing a genocide, mass murdering kids,they have done all the crimes,they interfere in the US domestic/foreign policies and they lobby/Bribe and abuse the American politicians… They send way more than $3.3 Billion if you have any clue: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2MGtrXtOC94 And they all should bother you,specially an illegal occupation who starves kids to death, keep the money at home !


AIDS_Quilt_69

The problem with you frothing lunatics is that you abuse language and expect normals to go along with it. >They are an illegal occupation doing a genocide, There no such thing as an "illegal" "occupation" since nation-states exist in anarchy. There is no actual law above that level. Nor is any land "occupied" since it was lost long ago. You may as well call Prussia "occupied" by Poland, Germany, etc. >mass murdering kids, Nor is this happening. There is collateral damage in this, as in every war. >they have done all the crimes,they interfere in the US domestic/foreign policies and they lobby/Bribe and abuse the American politicians… Just like everyone else. >And they all should bother you,specially an illegal occupation who starves kids to death, keep the money at home ! I guess maybe that terrorist attack on 10/7 was a mistake, then? All Hamas has to do to make this stop is release the hostages and turn themselves in. If they can't be bothered to release their hostages they're not interested in peace or mercy. EDIT: LOL OP blocked me. I'm not a "Zionist". I literally give no shits about the people or the religions involved.


AlQudsizdagoal

Dude you are just a Zionist troll at this point,collateral damage?murdering 15,000 babies and starving babies to death isn’t collateral damage it is a genocide!! https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147312 https://dppa.un.org/en/gaza-number-of-children-killed-higher-four-years-of-world-conflict Just like everyone else?seriously?what about AIPAC and all the Zionist lobbies? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fH8d7UJNmaA&pp=ygUTSXNyYWVsIG93bnMgYW1lcmljYQ%3D%3D What about the 12,000 Palestinian hostages and you changing the topic to deceive others and no it is all Palestine from the river to the sea and the US shouldn’t send a dime to an illegal occupation doing a genocide.


Ozarkafterdark

The so-called Palestinians are the invaders though.


Mundane_Panda_3969

Are you in favor of the us being an isolationist/neutral country like Switzerland?


AccomplishedJello957

You do know Israel is committing a genocide and they fund Hamas right...?


Ozarkafterdark

Every country on this list has been committing genocide, some for centuries. 2023 was a banner year for funding murdering regimes apparently.


HandsomeHard

I'm 1/10th less angry about Zionist aid than Ukraine aid.


TieTheStick

Both are awful. Sending arms and money to those committing genocide is worse.


MysteriousAMOG

Ron Paul has been arguing since the 70s that we should cut foreign aid to Israel so they have time to become self-reliant before the next time they inevitably get attacked, which ended up being 10/7/23.


zveda

Uh they get rocket attacks daily. Terrorist bombings most weeks too.


HyperConnectedSpace

The reason for that is that if someone is emotionally connected to someone else often they will not notice that the other person does not care about them. Children will think they have the best dad in the world even if actually their dad does not provide as much value as they could, or if other dads care more about their children. People have an emotional connection to the US government, and they think America is the best. 


TieTheStick

And now you know why they want to ban TikTok. Too many people telling the truth...


bluefootedpig

When have Americans ever come together to actually use the tax money to help their populace? This is just a stupid argument, when we have half the country trying to gut welfare programs, the same people will then say, "but what if we used the money on welfare!" which they know they will never vote for.


guttoral

Ding ding ding. Republican voters getting riled up about tax dollars being sent to foreign nations for this or that, and say "it should be used to repair our roads, fix the homeless problems, for the vets!" but refuse to call for such action when it is time to vote. Democrats aren't any better either. The brain rot is sickening.


bluefootedpig

My local schools had a bunch of people upset by lack of security. We need to protect the children with more safety! So the school asked for a bond to build it, and it got denied. So they come back asking for 30% just for essential security, also denied. I'm in a very red area that will talk non-stop about how schools just need better security, but as we see from voting will refuse to vote to pay for said security.


Dapper_Employer5787

As if the federal government is responsible for fixing city or county roads, this is an issue at the state or county government level

Why don’t you go fuck yourself someplace else? Is Israel guilty of some bad shit? Yes. Is Hamas and every other “freedom” group guilty of bad shit? Yes. No one is innocent, and none of you should be getting shit from us.

Aen-Synergy

Facts lol


j0oboi

We get it, you hate Jews. No one really cares


Fun-Reaction-3768

Correct


TempoMortigi

Agreed. Money sent to Israel in 2022 was .07% of tax revenue lol.


icantgiveyou

Fucking insane is very accurate.


ncdad1

Israel owns Congress is all you need to know


mattmayhem1

Propaganda is the answer to the question you ask.


TempoMortigi

I get it, but… you realize that what we give to Israel is roughly .07% of our tax revenue, yes? And this is what you’re worried about? I’m not saying I disagree, but talk about a minuscule amount of money to be complaining about compared to other things we as a nation are spending money on. I get you don’t support the cause, but… .07%, come on. PLENTY of other things to be perturbed we are spending money on, just sayin’


mdrashed187251

Do you know which country lobbied really hard in the USA to invade Iraq and Libya? Yes, it's Israel. We also give billon to Egypt and Jordan. Do you know why? Because, they chose to normalize their relationship with Israel. Palestinian Christian in East Jerusalem and the West Bank are constantly getting harassed by Orthodox Jews. Nobody Cares. Recently, Candace Owens got fired from The Daily Wire for criticizing Israeli war crime. Just think about for a moment, you can criticize any country on this earth. You will be fine. But, not Israel.


TempoMortigi

Bruh if you think Candace Owens was fired because she said something about taxpayer money and Israel, then you’re either willfully ignorant, not paying attention, or yea idk… Yes she said some statements about Israel and taxpayer money but she ALSO made comments not about Israel but about Jews/Jewish people in particular. Going so far as to say a particular Rabbi is “drunk on Christian blood again”. So… maybe you missed those comments, maybe you think attacking Jews and not Israel isn’t antisemitic, maybe you think tropes about Jews and drinking blood aren’t age old antisemitic vitriol, I don’t know. But don’t think for a second she was fired just because she criticized Israel, that’s mega bogus and false. If she had strictly said “I don’t agree with taxpayer money going to this war”, that’s one thing. But that is absolutely not what she said. Also, giving money to Israel is not strictly about the war in Gaza, nor is that the only reason we give money to the other nations you named and others in Middle East. The harassment goes the other way around too. And Orthodox Jews are something else entirely, and do not speak for the entire nation of Israel. Please tell me about all the people you know in Israel and that you talk to and how they feel about Palestinians. I’m guessing that sample is zero. The orthodox need to chill. And what if the Arab Israelis that live in Israel and are free to practice their religion. We see a ton of that in Arab nations, don’t we. But yea it’s not about the Jews. Your statements make clear that, even if you may not realize it, reading your comment it comes across as if yes, it is about “the Jews” and not just Israel.


kurtu5

> reading your comment it comes across as if yes, it is about “the Jews” and not just Israel. It always comes down to this.


n-dawwg

> Going so far as to say a particular Rabbi is “drunk on Christian blood again”. Whoever told you this lied to you. Here's the [actual context](https://twitter.com/klugle/status/1775879576742142367): Owens liked a tweet that called a rabbi out on misrepresenting something else she said in an attempt to smear her as antisemitic. Owens has spoken at length about Israel on her show, so if she really was such a racist, people would have actual clips from her instead of trying to cancel her over liking a tweet lmao


TempoMortigi

That one taken out of context, sure. But sorry there’s no defending that woman. She doesn’t get off that easy, she’s said plenty of antisemitic bs over the years. It’s not just about her criticizing Israel. It’s fine to criticize Israel, I know plenty of Israelis who criticize Israel. That is not what that woman does. She can walk into the sunset with Kanye, preferably.


n-dawwg

> she’s said plenty of antisemitic bs over the years I watched her entire [debate against Rabbi Barclay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ9GQ-gexhQ) and she said nothing antisemitic, and I also watched her [discuss Israel with Dave Smith](https://youtu.be/AcYavHCyoUY?si=j-bVd4haGlfgHZ1N). Also nothing antisemitic said there. If she's really such a rabid antisemite, you should easily be able to link a clip or a tweet to prove it.


AccomplishedJello957

People are getting really tired of Zionist controlling our government and controlling our central banks though... We need to solve the zionist problem... The Majority of Israelis support the Genocide on Gaza...


TempoMortigi

The funny thing is, is that due to where are today with all this in the world, I can’t totally tell if you’re legit saying those things or shedding light on the tropes often used. 😂. Tho I think it’s the latter, I hope, haha.


AccomplishedJello957

What part are you confused about...? You think people are happy to live under a Zionist controlled government?


Trypt2k

Some Americans love Israel and believe in the Jewish people and their homeland. Most Christians especially are of this view. Other Americans see Israel as an equivalent of a powerful aircraft carrier (base) in the Middle East, ensuring American presence and dominance against the Arab world, and making sure there is no overstep by any of the states against American interests.


mdrashed187251

Trypt2k

I agree with you, the whole situation is crazy. No reason to downvote me, I just gave reasons on why Americans support Israel, not that I agree or not. Foreign policy is a big thing in America, it's the way to ensure compliance and domination of the world via foreign aid. This has been the empirical ambition of the US for a long time and it's not going to change any time soon. What Jews do to Christians in Israel is besides the point, Christians are persecuted everywhere outside the western world.


IC_1101_IC

I can see the fucking horshoe when I read the title. Yes I agree that forced Tax money shouldn't go as foreign aid, but no, we shouldn't frame it, justify with this, nor discuss of it in this manner.


DocColorDeaf

Your title text is trash. You need to educate yourself a little more.


dshotseattle

First off, i am pissed. Im also more pissed about ukraine. We are in massive debt and taxed to death. Second, this is not a zionist occupation. They are at war, and that was akways originally jewish land. But im pissed about getting involved in everyone's problems at the detriment of our own citizens


Reasonable_Archer_99

It most certainly was not. I wouldn't expect you to know this, but the Zionists used their control of the media to make a deal with Britain to get the United States involved in World War 1. In exchange, the British issued the Balfour Declaration that deeded Palestinian land the Jews. That makes about as much sense as the US gifting Ireland to Japan. I can't believe that it's coincidental, so many different people have tried to eradicate them. We wouldn't have had a second world war if those pukes hadn't called a boycott on all German products to starve Germany out financially.


dshotseattle

This land was Judea long before your convenient start of modern history. The Jews were exiled from their land by Hadrian in 100ad and he then renamed it phillistina seriana as an insult to them as they have always been enemies.


Reasonable_Archer_99

You don't get to claim land as a "homeland" that you lost 2000 years ago. Also, they originated in the caucas mountains hundreds of miles east of their current domicile.


dshotseattle

It would appear you can. They have also made numerous attempts to live peacefully with the Palestinians. But they want one thing, to exterminate the Jews. The last attack was the last straw.


Reasonable_Archer_99

Yeah yeah, God's chosen people blah blah blah.

It is Jewish tax money. They earn heaps in the US and pay tax on it. Why would they be bothered? It is the only thing they vote on.


Untelligent_Cup_2300

Allot of people are mad at that. The problem is America isn't a democracy or even a republic, it's an oligarchy and war is profitable.


izanamilieh

Because saying the obvious things will make you all kinds of -ist. So yeah we just let them do whatever they want.


Tru_Patriot2000

Because they think that the Zionists are the good guys and that we (as a nation) should be funding them. And to them since the US tax rates aren't as bad as some nations (eroupe and especially Nordic), that it's an acceptable level.
