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.

Yes, but increase pressure on Israel to improve its record on Arab minority rights and adhere to internationally agree borders.

The Zionst entity is a terrorist cult. We must end all ties and aide to the Zionist entity aka Boycott and Divestment. Furthermore, we must put sanctions on the Zionist entity and put warrants out for all US citizens that normalize the Zionist entity.
Provide aid to Israel but also enhance accountability by dictating how they should be using the aid funds
@B2B9CYZ6mos6MO
Both Israel and Palestine have done horrid things and we need to stop bowing down to Israel and stop hating Palestine, they both need to be held accountable for their actions
@B222QD6 7mos7MO
But recognize the netanyahu is not Israel and that we can support Israel without supporting netanyahu's political stances or policies and that we can disagree with Israel without being anti-Semitic
@9ZMLR5M8mos8MO
No, not only both governments are psychotic and committing genocide, the U.S. can barely support itself
Continue to support Israel diplomatically, but decrease arms shipment and greatly increase aid for Gaza.
@9XXTBJ38mos8MO
This is a difficult question because I have a mixed belief between all the choices given. I believe we shouldn't stop supporting Israel because there are people who are dying in the country as well as Palestine. We have many Jewish people who have Israel as their sacred place however Palestine isn't getting any support from the U.S. either. I believe we should be assisting both countries for different reasons, not because of the war between them.
@9X86VBB8mos8MO
Not in regards to the current war, but in matters that are clearly not murky and are clearly for aiding Israel.
@9WMCCFG9mos9MO
I don't really know the reasoning behind the support, nor do I understand the opposing viewpoint; I therefore cannot answer this question with the information provided.
@9SZB9CK10mos10MO
No, we should not support a foreign country with financial means, when we are in debt. We should also never support any country that has an offensive stance in a war that we are not directly involved in.
@9PCRWY21yr1Y
The U.S should continue to support the existence of Israel as a state but cease military support until there is no further evidence of human rights violations.
@9MDD3XT1yr1Y
We should not support either entity unless our support is truly given neutrally and with a democratic ideal in mind. It must be divorced from any religious agenda, or any ideological or financial one. This isn’t our issue, but we should render aid when aid is needed, project that aid, and help defend against terrorism.
@9J79XYY1yr1Y
Israel is an important partner in the middle east. But they are screwing things up in Gaza. They need to pull out and work on getting their people back who are still being held hostage there. Instead of trying to strong arm them back. That's not working. Every civilian they kill makes five more terrorists who HATE them. I'm all for an Eye for and Eye but 20,000 Eyes for 1,500 Eyes is not exactly an equal playing field. Even if someone purposely runs into your car and causes an accident, you don't get out of your own car and shoot them and all of their family in the head. We sho… Read more
@9FGMQK3 2yrs2Y
We should scale back relations and be strategically ambiguous with Israel. Their current militant authoritarian regime should be punished for its actions in Palestine.
@95XLF443yrs3Y
No, and we should devote resources to immediately decolonizating occupied Palestine and abolishing Israel
@93R8RC53yrs3Y
No, Israel is an illegitimate, apartheid state
@8VF6RQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should push for a secular, one-state solution
@8VBTV2J4yrs4Y
We should not encourage military action, we should give aid in the form of social necessities
@8V6KRSK4yrs4Y
Aid to Israel must be conditional upon a sea change in maltreatment of Palestinians, in the occupied territories and in Israel proper.
@8TJS4K34yrs4Y
No, and we should instead give our Israel budget to Palestine.
@8TJ6DK74yrs4Y
Make Israel stop taking land and homes away from the Arabs.
@8SHPM334yrs4Y
No, this is not black and white, so choosing like it is, is incorrect
@8PPBSVP5yrs5Y
Yes, however if given the chance we should instead abolish the government
@8P6HWLR5yrs5Y
Yes, but decrease the current amount of support
@8NFZQKF5yrs5Y
Yes, but slowly decrease the amount of aid they receive
@8FHZVZG5yrs5Y
No, we should give out foreign aid on a combination of a reparative and need basis
@98JCBZKIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, but tied to a two-state solution and end of apartheid-like policies
@8QCL9SFLibertarian4yrs4Y
Conditional: Give military support when they're under attack, but no special privileges from the US.
@8HMPSFD5yrs5Y
Can we not send provisions for the people instead of weapons
