I agree the freeloading Haredim need to be checked, but it’s ridiculous to say that they’re funded by US taxpayers

Israel alone has a GDP of half a trillion dollars. The comparatively measly 4-5 billion we give them, of which 90% is specifically earmarked to only buy American weapons thus subsidizing our own domestic production, makes no real difference. It’s a mutually beneficial sweetheart deal, but people who at this point still think Israel would be crippled or have to make huge strategic changes if those funds were withdrawn need to get a reality check.
