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... the U.S. should continue to support Israel as a strategic and democratic ally, but such support must be conditional on upholding international law, protecting civilian life, promoting regional stability, and advancing a credible path to peace. Blind or unconditional aid undermines ethical consistency, long-term strategy, and U.S. credibility as a principled global leader.
@9Y2PTD9Constitution8mos8MO
As an ally we should provide Israel the opportunity to purchase military equipment but the American tax payers should not be funding the Israeli war
@9XNBKYDConstitution8mos8MO
No, we have millions in poverty and living on the street here in America and we continue to hemorrhage money overseas
@9WWHTMFConstitution9mos9MO
Support Israel and any other Ally with the weapons they need but let them pay for it when they can no longer afford war they will come to the table and talk peace with whoever they are fighting.
@9VYRMRRConstitution9mos9MO
Yes, cut funding, but don't put restrictions on Israel. Let Israel fight the war as hard as they want to fight it without starting a world war.
@9TLXRKNConstitution10mos10MO
We should only provide humanitarian aid and use US soldiers to ensure accountability and that the aid is distributed to civilians.
@9R2N24JConstitution12mos12MO
We should remain as neutral as possible remain allies, and push for stability or the closest thing to it and bring all the financial support and concern back to our own country and people
@9J6V3ZKConstitution1yr1Y
Yes, but only if Israel is attacked. We should not support invasions that Israel initiates. We should send sustenance, not weapons and ammunition.
@9GTFCHMConstitution2yrs2Y
We should continue to support them, but provide pressure for them to find peaceful solutions to conflict with Isreal
@9FYTNVQConstitution 2yrs2Y
Repeal foreign aid for every other nation before the question of repealing it for Israel is brought into consideration (Ukraine, Africa, Central America, etc).
@9FQNDHRConstitution2yrs2Y
We should work to strengthen Israel's economic strength, allowing them to fortitude their own nation and become a stronger power in the Middle East, while maintaining diplomatic relations with Israel
@9DXJ43LConstitution2yrs2Y

@9TH37TDConstitution10mos10MO
Yes, we should support their right to exist. That doesn’t mean giving them a blank check. That’s never the answer. There are many ways of showing strength and support while still respecting Israel’s sovereignty and not directly dictating how it should interact with its neighbors
@96PS5QHConstitution3yrs3Y
Yes, provide diplomatic support to encourage better relations with her neighbors.

Yes, but we should lay back on how much we are invloved

Yes, and continue to use foreign states to protect our national interests.
@8SM4HJ7Constitution4yrs4Y
Decrease support and aid, and recognize Israel and Palestine as a two-country system
@8SLVH7RConstitution4yrs4Y
Allow private sales of weapons to their military with restrictions on cutting the dye technologies. Provide political support and defense agreements. But, eliminate foreign financial aid as it is unconditional.
@8Q2YK2GConstitution5yrs5Y
No, we need to put America first and only aid foreign countries who are known allies shall it be absolutely necessary
@8PZBMRVConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes, but Israel should be a territory of the U.S.
@8PMRXVZConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes and add more if they move their capital back to the original city.
@8PHF5GRConstitution5yrs5Y
We should be completely neutral
@8D9WXGYConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes, but only as long as they act as an ally and hold them responsible to the same human rights and military conduct standards as we should hold ourselves.
@8CRPGDLConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes, but dial back on foreign aid.
@jsimicConstitution10mos10MO
Israel is our only friend in the Levantine and has an ancestral claim to the lands of Judea and Samaria.
Since it's declaration of Independence, the neighboring Islamic/Arabic countries have been calling for, and attempting, a genocide against the Jewish state.
Their antisemitism is so strong that they convinced Israeli Arabs to vacate the land so they wouldn't get caught up in the bombing.
The Arabs hate the Jews so much that they invented the country of Palestine, which had never existed before from the Ottomans to the Romans, and is also based in Arab supremacy.
Most, if not all, of these Arabian colonists call for the genocide of Jews, while Israelis call for the coexistence with these Arabs.
Jews are not colonists, they are exiles returning to their homeland.
From the Sea to the River, Israel shall live forever.
The conflict will not end until the Arabs learn to live with the Jews or succeed to genocide them.
@9S9XMDPConstitution11mos11MO

@96R43NFConstitution3yrs3Y

@8KJ9D7SConstitution5yrs5Y
