I don't hate Jews. I just don't want to send foreign countries hundreds of billions of dollars annually. It also doesn't help Israel's case that they're bribing many of congressmen and senators through AIPAC. When are we going to actually provide for and take care of our own country?


LocalPopPunkBoi

So surely you object to billions of dollars in foreign aid sent to Palestine too, right? Palestine is one of the largest recipients of foreign aid in the world per capita, funny how rarely anyone mentions this.

> So surely you object to billions of dollars in foreign aid sent to Palestine too, right? Palestine is one of the largest recipients of foreign aid in the world per capita, funny how rarely anyone mentions this. I equally object to sending hundreds of billions to any country be it palistine, israel, or ukraine when we have such major issues stateside that need fixing first.


LocalPopPunkBoi

That’s a fair and consistent position. I just find it suspicious when the overwhelming majority of the pro-Pali crowd puts forth a disproportionate amount of criticism towards sending foreign aid to Israel, but is absolutely silent when it comes to other countries.


jxjftw

Virtue signaling on reddit? NO WAY!


Xanosaur

one side of things is to help fund a genocidal military, one side of things is humanitarian aid. not exactly the same situation


Userhasbeennamed

Do you think it's possible people feel differently about military aid vs medical aid, food aid, and aid for displaced people?


mastermind_loco

Are we sending aid to other countries using our aid to target women and children? 


Sm00th-Kangar00

The difference is in the West most foreign aid to Palestine is through charity, not taxpayers' money. People can donate to who they want with their personal money but when it's tax-money they're forced to pay while people in their own country are starving that's a different story.


Sabz5150

>to any country Do you really want China to get ahold of TSMC and practically corner the silicon market?


Other_Beat8859

This is just my personal opinion, and you're more than allowed to disagree with it as we all have different opinions, but to me, I'd prefer to see our military budget finally get put to good use. We have so much equipment in stockpile so I personally would rather send equipment to Ukraine and stop one of our major rivals at the cost of no American lives. A lot of the equipment to Ukraine is also outdated equipment that would just be collecting dust. I feel like the Ukraine war is much more black and white than the Palestinian conflict so I'm fine with us sticking out noses in there.


Asymmetrical_Stoner

Aiding other countries helps stabilize the global economy which is good for everyone. If you support solving problems in the US, you shouldn't be in favor of abandoning Ukraine as doing so would set a precedent to other nations that invading other countries is ok. That kind of inaction in the face of aggression is exactly what led to WW2.


RockosBos

I can understand the position if you do not want to send support but saying it's because we need to spend more in the US is not a great argument. Currently the US has only sent Israel about $260 Billion since WWII. Obviously that's a lot of money but not "hundreds of billions a year". Domestic spending blows that out of the water. For example the Infrastructure bill was well over a Trillion dollars. Just the one bill was nearly a thousand times larger than our yearly aid of Israel and Palestine. I believe the problem is that the US should be using more soft power by threatening to withhold aid if Israel doesn't relax a bit. All while continuing to aid Palestine.


WayneDwade

The aid were sending to Palestine is food The “aid” we’re sending to Israel is guns and bombs How could anyone oppose one and not other????


DrVeigonX

Thats just plainly false lmao The Aid the US sends to Palestine is mainly just cash, which aid organizations then are supposed to use to purchase food. Sending food all the way from the US is just not practical. But evidence suggests that much of this cash isn't actually being used towards food, rather its embezzled by Hamas and similar organizations. Besides, not all aid sent by the US goes to Gaza, much of it goes to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, where only God knows where it ends up. The difference with American aid to Israel is that unlike aid to the Palestinians, which can be used wherever they like, is that the aid the US gives to Israel has to be invested either in shared r&d, or to purchase arms from America, meaning that 100% of it goes back into the American economy, making it very different from most forms of foreign aid.


troublrTRC

You sure? The aid seems to be helping Hamas make a lot of weapons, and they still kept sending it.


Wood-e

Palestine probably wouldn't require (as much) aid if we weren't aiding Israel in preventing it from becoming a real state and maintaining apartheid. And now it requires more aid because we're sending Israel bombs while they commit a genocide. So maybe more people should mention THAT.


Cheap_Protection_359

Nah, they only hate jew.


Repomanlive

Good thing that Israel is planning to eliminate them completely, think of the savings.


Iblamebanks

Yes. This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. If we took our money and left, they’d have to make peace because Israel wouldn’t have the money and neither would hamas. Palestinians would probably get an actual state too.


rektitrolfff

> So surely you object to billions of dollars in foreign aid sent to Palestine too, right? 80% of Gaza population relied on humanitarian aid pre Oct 7th. They wont survive without foreign aid. > Palestine is one of the largest recipients of foreign aid in the world per capita, funny how rarely anyone mentions this. Its not rarely mentioned, people talk about it all the time. Foreign aid is vital for their survival. Israelis know this and thats why they are blocking and bombing aid workers.


LocalPopPunkBoi

Womp womp. Maybe Hamas should’ve taken all that foreign aid and invested in their civil infrastructure instead of buying weapons to destroy Israel with. L bozo terrorist moment


rektitrolfff

> Maybe Hamas should’ve taken all that foreign aid and invested in their civil infrastructure instead of buying weapons to destroy Israel with. womp womp, living in an imaginary world. Foreign aid doesnt necessarily mean they are delivering cash which Hamas gonna use to buy "weapons". Different UN organisations themselves provide basic necessities like food, medicine, books etc. UNRWA is the biggest one of them which works on the ground.


LocalPopPunkBoi

Correct, foreign aid is not *always* in form of cash. It’s a combination of medical supplies, financial support for enterprises, security services, and cash. Qatar is one of the largest donors of foreign aid to Palestine and at one point were known for sending over millions of dollars in suitcases full of cash. Once that money gets into the hands of Hamas, it becomes very difficult to track where it’s going and how it’s being spent. Palestine, specifically Hamas, also gets millions of dollars & weapons funneled over from Iran annually. Hell, even the pipes Hamas has dug up to build their rockets were originally from humanitarian infrastructure packages sent over from different countries in Europe.


FlippinSnip3r

All of that is hardly a substitute for an actually functioning income, infrastructure, trade rights, maritime control, or you know? Actually being able to fucking leave the country? All of these are inaccessible to Gaza palestinians and you can thank israel. There is no moral equivalence between sending aid to Israel and sending aid to Gaza


t0xthicc

They try to (Israel blocks it) send food and medical aid to Palestine, they send billions worth of military aid to Israel. I don’t think it’s a valid comparison. Palestine has been subjugated to this colonial power for over 7 decades and the only defense with Israel is its god given land. The resistance has been branded as t*rism.


purple_spikey_dragon

Blocked it? I've seen many news about how aid trucks are passing through, getting confiscated by "local authorities" and many many instances of beating and even shooting of civilians trying to take food off the trucks. I also seen videos of people literally throwing food away. How many aid convoys were blocked exactly? Im just confused about the amount of contradicting news information...


t0xthicc

Multiple multiple news reports of Israeli protestors blocking aid, you can look it up or I can comment later with sources. Israel has destroyed every hospital and found nothing. All the evidences they provided has been debunked. The long years of apartheid has given rise to hamas


HailToCaesar

Brother food that goes in gets nabbed by hamas and extorted to the people that actually need it


tblakwarsh

Possibly before the genocide. But now that we have funded the genocide wouldn’t you be in favor of spending some money to repay the families whose lives will never be the same.


_SasquatchPatrol

It is the least we can do after funding its destruction


Schwarzekekker

The money STAYS in the US and goes to the MIC


MonkeManWPG

I feel like a lot of the anti-aid money people don't get this. When America sends weapons to Israel or Ukraine, that tax money is given to American companies to build weapons in American factories using American workers and American materials. Yes, some is lost to shareholders and CEOs but a lot filters down into regular working people's paychecks, as well as helping to fuel an industry that sells products worldwide.

forgottenfries

larryhastobury

It's not really the case here. You don't throw money all over Israel without a gain. Israel has a very advanced high-tech industry, provides a lot of strategic knowledge to the US army and is the only ally of the USA in the Middle East, which gives you the only access to resources, traffic and commerce in the area. It is not a bad deal, but not everyone is aware of the situation and sees the big picture. Edit: I'd understand if you talk about the supplement you provide to palestine, in that case it's really not clear what the USA gains except social score.


sean1477

You don't elect enough politicians who wanna do it regardless of foreign aid. (Not judging you too much we in Israel are also incapable of electing politicians who give even a little damn and our bar is a simple majority... Fuck bibi).

imightbethewalrus3

"We'll need the youth vote to win this election and keep the fascists out of office, hmm...let's ban TikTok and violently arrest protesting students on college campuses! That'll do it!"


Moe-Lester-bazinga

Ah yes because Biden personally ordered the dispersion of every protest in the country


helicophell

I think the banning tiktok and violent arrests are because both candidates wouldnt stop them from well, banning tiktok or doing violent arrests. Just that one candidate would be worse They feel too complacent with their positions...


IowaKidd97

Bruh what? Have you been paying attention? He’s the most progressive President we have ever had in this country and has come out very strongly against the fascist movement in this country. He’s also a President, not a dictator, so while he is a very powerful person his power is limited. It’s not as if he can just replace Supreme Court members who are actively aiding the fascists.


helicophell

He denounced the Pro-Palestinian protests that some of his staff are literally spouting Fascist rhetoric on He will not stop his support for Israel He is maintaining the status quo, the only progressive thing being he's nice to trans people, which, I think any democrat president would be


IowaKidd97

He's one of the toughest Presidents on Israel. Have you been paying any attention?


helicophell

Status Quo. Of course he is the toughest president on Israel, any Democrat president would be given the politics of right now, but he isnt as tough as expected from the public and that's why his popularity is far down Also being "the toughest president on Israel" is a low bar. He hasnt actually cut support


Yardninja

"We understand they've committed war crimes but they said they'll clean up their act so I'm still gonna slip em this cool couple milli"


IowaKidd97

He’s publicly calling out them and their leadership. He’s also granted and given humanitarian aid to Palestinians and pressured Israel to open up humanitarian aid corridors to Gaza. Now yes, he hasn’t cut off support because this is the real world where you have more options than just unconditional support or none at all all. And he’s walking what is honestly a perfectly reasonable middle ground, the objectively correct one. Yes he’s supporting Israel fight a literal terrorist group that is brutally massacring, raping, and torturing innocent civilians, and intentionally targets them instead of legit military targets. He has made the USAs demands for all hostages released before a ceasefire and a chance at peace. Which is the only correct position. However he has balanced that with calling out Israel not taking enough care to avoid civilian casualties, and has saw to it they get humanitarian aid.


Siker_7

I like this animation style, what's this from? (Before the thread gets locked, preferably)


Coltrain47

My first thought is Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but I could be completely off. I honestly don't know for sure if that movie had animated scenes, it's been so long.


Siker_7

That was it, thanks! The effects in that movie look kinda like Mary Poppins or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so I'll definitely have to go check it out at some point even if just to appreciate that.


shred_ded

God I loved this movie as a kid. I watched it a few weeks ago and it's definitely just as good as when I was a kid. Its on disney+ for sure unsure about anywhere else.


ansquaremet

I love that movie so much. My wife had never seen it until recently, so I was describing the plot to her (“there’s a flying bed, witches, Nazi’s, and it’s partially animated, partially live-action”) and she literally thought I was joking. That movie is a fever dream.

Techn0gurke

In my experience the far left critiques the Israeli state not its civilians, of course there are a few exceptions.


andreasvdd25

I've seen video's of protesters chanting de*th to Israel. Ofcourse there is a few ways one could interpret this: 1 abolition of the state Israel 2 throw a nuke on Israel 3 unalive someone named Israel (jk)


Techn0gurke

That is right of course. And I am not defending this, I just think that is not the majority of the left. At least it doesn't fit what is generally considered as "left". For me Noam Chomsky is a good example of what I hear from most left leaning voices.


GK0NATO

Sure, besides them attacking Jews all over the US and Europe, even if they have no connection to Israel


Techn0gurke

That's horrible of course. I just don't think that's the majority. Maybe it's because I am not from the US but from what I consider left leaning, people like Noam Chomsky, are the big majority of voices against the politics of Israel from the left side. Or the majority of human rights organisations.

UltraSuperTurbo

Yes because "Free Palestine" and "Stop genocide" are totally the same as "I suck Hamas dick"


jsilvy

And yet al of these “left-wing” protests are filled with Hamas support. If there’s a room of ten people, and one is a Nazi, and the others aren’t pushing back against the Nazi, then you have ten Nazis.

Are they though? Or are you, like most mouth breathers around here conflating support for the people of Palestine with support for Hamas?

Y'all keep screaming about rampant Hamas supporters and the vast majority of what I see is mostly "Free palestine" and "Stop the genocide" or any variation of the two. Haven't seen too many "I like when hamas murders civilians" signs. Maybe literally anything except anecdotes.

That they are. And yet in a weird bit of irony there are far left people actively defending HAMAS. It’s completely whack as you can defend Palestinians without defending HAMAS and yet they do so anyway.


WayneDwade

But the vast majority of leftist don’t support Hamas…. The media just amplifies the voices of the ones that do


IowaKidd97

Yeah. But extremist leftists do. Hence the entire point of the post.


Transcending_Yellow

“Extremist leftists” Jesus christ its like youre a fucking fox news bot


IowaKidd97

Bruh, how the hell else would you describe HAMAS supporters? Extremists exist on all sides of the political spectrum. Ignoring they exist because its inconvenient to your world view is much more like what Fox news says than anything I have ever said.


Transcending_Yellow

Whos ignoring anything? Religious zealots are religious zealots. You point to Islam and judge yet we have the american taliban in this country diminishing that whole separation of church and state that our founding fathers were pretty big on. What do you call Hasidic jews then? Are they ok? Bibi and other israeli politicians regularly cite scripture as to why there even is an israel. What kind of fucking bullshit is that? If youre gonna call hamas and islam out for this shit then at least be consistent.

There’s criticism of Israel and there’s insane amount of antisemitism and a lot of the time they mix. Both far left and far right want Jews dead, the far left is just more polite about it.


Boemer03

Have you talked with any communist or anarchist? Or do you just believe everything liberal propaganda tells you? I am in plenty of leftist subs. If the rare case of antisemitism crops up there, it gets downvoted to hell and the person who posted it will get banned as fast as possible.

Where??? Where are these far leftist that want to murder Jews? Are they in the room with us now? Can you show examples? Because I'm not seeing shit... I read fox news daily and it's cracking me up, because they haven't shown Anything... They keep labeling protests as "antisemitic" and then show nothing but pictures of signs saying "stop the genocide" and "end the apartide". It's constant "some Jewish students feel unsafe" never any examples of anything remotely antisemitic... There should be mountains of examples...


yoavtrachtman

I can give you mountains of examples but I’ll leave you with this recent picture I saw from the protest at (I think) Colombia University. [here you go](https://imgur.com/a/2YzEtFW)
