the land is rightfully Palestine's, the US should stop giving money to other countries, especially oppressive ones

 @9SFWSH9Democrat from Iowa  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Rightfully who's? In what war did they win the land? It was Israels, it was given to Israel, Israel was attacked and won the land at least 2 times after that. In history tell me who wins wars and gives back land? No one this far but Israel. Why don't Palestinians work? Why should Israel give anything they built up to a disrespectful people who are constantly sneaking around like snakes to attack them? No one not even other Arabs want Palestinians neighbors. These are facts. Why didn't the awful, hateful, ruthless Palestinians tell where ANY OF THE HOSTAGES WERE? Complicity. They wanted war and they got it.

The context of your comment is hardly fact. Highly debatable. Even if it may have been Israeli land, it was a long time ago. Similar to how the United States was formed, we forced a lot of Native Americans into subjugation and treated them terribly. While not all American's agree with that sentiment, a lot of us recognize our past wrongdoings. Regardless, we continue to press forward to make things better for the people of the United States. Israel is currently slaughtering men, women, and children - and I do not appreciate that my tax dollars were used to fund these atrocities.

It was Israels,

Hamas warned Israel they were going to attack and Israel chose to ignore it. Also Hamas and other radical groups are not a representation of Palestinians as a whole. That's like saying all Germans are Nazis.

The United States currently has millions of children living in hunger, people with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans purely because they wanted to better themselves, and most people are one medical issue away from homelessness. We have so many issues to fix at home before helping another country further displace and promote violence on Palestinians. Free Palestine!

While it's undeniable that there are significant domestic issues to address, foreign policy isn't a zero-sum game. The U.S. can and should work on improving domestic issues while maintaining strategic alliances abroad. For instance, Israel is a key partner in intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, and a valuable ally in a volatile region. Its strategic position and technological advancements serve the U.S.'s interests. Also, to address your concern about violence and displacement, continued engagement can allow the U.S. to exert positive influence over Israel's policies towards Palestinians. How do you propose the U.S. should balance its domestic and foreign responsibilities?

 @9S3BZL4 from California  commented…2yrs2Y

Israel's technological advancements are a result of America sharing our high technology with them. The B. I. R. D., The B. A. R. D., The B. S. F., are the primary reasons for them becoming the startup nation. Israel's goal is to move our semiconductor manufacturing to their land. To install more backdoors into our computer systems to monitor and gather our secret information. Our R&D Centers have moved out of the USA to Israel. Why take away jobs? Why move them to an unstable region? It's a manufactured crisis to pull endless financial and military aid from American taxpaye…  Read more

It is none of our business, we have only been a camcer to the situation and israel commits acts of violence against innocent people while we stand by and watch

 @9FZGD42 from North Carolina  disagreed…3yrs3Y

We need to stay out of the Palestine/Israel conflict--we do not need an embassy there and these countries need to figure out their own problems without US interference, US needs to stay in its lane and solve the problems on home soil

 @9F7BMW3 from Washington  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Acknowledgement of Israel's position in Jerusalem will alienate possible agreements with Middle Eastern states and give Israel a blank cheque to continue the genocide of Palestenians.

 @9FF97JH from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Jerusalem is and has always been a shared city. By moving embassies to Jerusalem, it solidifies Israel's claims over the city, which many would argue was and is still used to terrorize not only Palestinians, but other minority groups within it's borders. Let us not forget that Israel has not been punished for military actions against the United States, which resulted in loss of life. Israel is not an ally. They are not even a legitimate state.

 @9F7R5QN from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

No, innocent people are being evicted from their homes, increasing funding for an embassy only makes it worse
