Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $150 in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding since the country’s founding in 1948. Nearly all of U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance. In fiscal year 2022 the Biden administration requested $3.8 billion in military aid for Israel.

No, cut all support and aid AND aid the international community in pursuing charges against Netanyahu and the IOF's military leadership for genocide.
No, we should support Palestine instead of Israel
@GuitarLord25Socialist 1wk1W
No. Apartheid regimes and the genocide that so often comes with them, past and present, should be met with consequences, international condemnation, and unilateral commitment to rapid and long lasting integration, reparation, and equitable unification. This applies to ourselves and our other allies and trade partners.
Make sure to give Israel to Palestine. Also, make sure it's a secular state where Arabs and Jews and all sorts of people can live together regardless of their religious points of view.
@9YJNHXQProgressive8mos8MO
Ceasefire now, two state solition, no more aid to Israel and rebuild Palestine but Israel has a right to exist
@9XR5GJN8mos8MO
We shouldn't be pouring money into other countries wars when there are homeless veterans and starving children in our own country.
@9XCXS578mos8MO
The MOST important issue is a total arms embargo, a return of ALL land for the Palestinian people, and a free and unoccupied Palestine.
@9WRD93G 9mos9MO
Impose sanctions and an arms embargo to stop the genocide in Gaza. Israel has clearly shown it doesn’t respect the international law.
@9WPZQJ39mos9MO
No, we should qualify that if they want aid, they should discontinue the bombing of innocent civilians.
No, but support the rights of Jewish people internationally, as that is in no way incompatible with support for Palestine

We should support good governance in both Israel and Palestine, encourage democracy, and build a union, similar to the EU, allowing for both countries to have their identity. that allows for the return of Palestinians while fostering a unified identity in the Levant. It is essential to create quality institutions and rehabilitation programs. Sanctions should be imposed on those illegally settling in the West Bank and Gaza. Additionally, we should promote the development of Gaza and the West Bank to improve living conditions for their residents.
Yes, but make military assistance contingent on good-faith negotiations towards a two-state solution
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 1yr1Y
Yes, but end humanitarian spending and sell old military equipment similar to the arms deal with Saudi Arabia
@9JCDSTQ1yr1Y
The U.S is supporting a genocide so if you think murdering people is okay you've got a special place for you!
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Yes, but reduce foreign aid spending
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 2yrs2Y
The US goal should be to end the conflict
@8R83FMZ4yrs4Y
Condemn Israel for their genocidal actions and support Palestinians
@SablevargGreen 12mos12MO
Yes, with the caveat that they stop the aggressive posture towards Palestine and move towards a two-state solution.
@9BXSK4J2yrs2Y
Yes, but there must be a two state solution
@94227DG3yrs3Y
We should maintain our relations while redirecting spending
@93GWD3Y3yrs3Y
Aid to Israel should be conditional on measured improvement in the treatment of Palestinians with strong sanctions levied at regular intervals in response to increased settlement expansion.
@5CC7CKH3yrs3Y
Depends, right now Israel seems to be okay without our aid, but later on down the line if Iran attacks Israel unjustly then perhaps we should provide aid. It depends on the current circumstances. Or if Israel ever unjustly attacks or invades their neighbors perhaps we should denounce Israel for doing so. We shouldn't favor one country over another just because of the country's main religion. We should denounce any authoritarian nation whether they are Muslim, or Jewish, or Christian. A hostile aggressive country is a hostile aggressive country and any such country should not have the right to invade their neighbors unjustly or without reason.
@932B6QQ3yrs3Y
No, not unconditionally. Especially militarily, aid should only come if the Israeli government meets certain standards.
@8ZJGHP83yrs3Y
We should give support, but not in the form of deadly weapons.
@8Y4SBQB4yrs4Y
We should give equal foreign aid support to Israel and Palestine and should not give military support to either, although I am considering giving my support to sending US troops to the border to ensure they are not fighting.
@andrewsteinDemocrat4yrs4Y
Yes, BUT Help Palestine as well as Isreal come together and become allies
@8XMP2GV4yrs4Y
Yes, and also help Israel and Palestine create a 2-state solution
@84ZWD6LLibertarian4yrs4Y
Both sides need to be supported so a peace deal can be achieved
@36XJB2V4yrs4Y
We should give enough support to maintain the Iron Dome, but otherwise put pressure on Israel to put an end to its oppression of Palestinians.
@8TV9CXD4yrs4Y
Does not have enough information to make informed decision.
@8TF6R7W4yrs4Y
No. Boycott, divest and free Palestine.
Yes, but increase restrictions on how the aid may be used, such as to education and welfare.
@yginnab4yrs4Y
No. The US should support Palestine and put more effort into preventing oppression against Palestinians
@ConnorRoberts644yrs4Y
No we shouldn't not until they allow Palestine to have freedom
@8R82DL54yrs4Y
No, and actively hold Israel accountable for human rights abuses in the Middle East.
@8QDD7784yrs4Y
Begin reducing military credit gradually and encourage Israel to develop its own military industrial complex. Encourage diplomatic ties between Israel and Palestine. Allow local funding for Israeli and Palestinian communities to intersect and become acquainted.
@8PPBSVP5yrs5Y
Yes, however if given the chance we should instead abolish the government
@8P6PWZP5yrs5Y
No. Absolutely not. FREE PALESTINE!!!
@8PLMH375yrs5Y
Yes, we should support our allies in order to encourage peaceful relations and demilitarization in the region.
@8KNDKCT5yrs5Y
Yes, with rules in place
@8KN27JW5yrs5Y
Issues in what we call the middle east are incredibly complex and i am ill equipped to have an opinion on this particular issue. But we should definitely not be moving our consulate to Jerusalem.
@8GFZYXJ5yrs5Y
Yes but minimal aid, they have money
@8CXZXPC5yrs5Y
Stop supporting Israel under its current administration and support Palestine’s freedom efforts to balance the two nations.
@GuitarLord25Socialist2yrs2Y
Israel has a right to exist, but human rights violations and apartheid conditions should be met with consequences and international condemnation. This is true also for our other allies and trade partners.
Only if aid is conditional.
No, and we should help Palestine.
@FrugajnIndependent4yrs4Y
No, the situation in the Israel and Palestine is too marred in controversy.
No, Not until they treat the Palestinian people fairly
No, not until they treat the Palestinian people humanely
@7S4VXFYProgressive2yrs2Y
We should maintain diplomatic relations with Israel, and be supportive of positive government programs in the country, though cut aid for the military and any programs related to the Palestinian people, and we should have full support of the Palestinian PEOPLE
