    They believe, correctly, that Israel has the right to self defense when attacked by countries like Iran.

    We are absolutely going to fund and support that defense.

    What Israel does with that support is entirely separate from our reasons for providing it.

      I don’t think we will agree on this topic.

      That is why we differ on who we are willing to vote for and how high or how low our standards have become.

      The funding America is providing is not for defense. The huge criticisms are what Israel is actually using these arms funds for. Genocide and wholesale slaughter.

          Saying America is just giving arms and funding to Israel without minding the intent is very disingenuous at best. It’s abundantly clear what these arms are used for. Now more than ever.
