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.

@8QLFK8NLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes, but cut back our aid.
@9RBSDRPLibertarian12mos12MO
Israel is an ethnostate created for the Synagogue of Satan described in Revelation. America is a Christian nation and Christians should not support jews in any capacity or even allow them in our country.
Revelation 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan
Revelation 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
@9J3K6CZLibertarian1yr1Y
We should not be giving them any military or financial aid until our own nation's economic problems are solved.
@9CJ6CB61yr1Y
that would take decades, we can do both, and if we only worry about one, our nation crumbles.
@9BYYV8KRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes, but in a peaceful way and not militarily.
@9C4MSQH2yrs2Y
That's impossible. The US literally arms the Zionist entity. The Zionist entity must be abolished and the US should put out warrants for US citizens who normalize the Zionist entity.
@9ZWPK8BRepublican 7mos7MO
No, there is no excuse for funding a genocidal nation that is currently participating in ethnic cleansing. Cut all support to Israel and provide support for Gaza/Palestine and other nations that are suffering from Israel’s violence.
@9ZJ2Z8GRepublican8mos8MO
We should have a peace deal between both Palestine and Israel to stop the war and allow free trade and better life quality.
@9ZFNMMDRepublican8mos8MO
Just stop giving them military supplies because they can win the war without usa military equitment.
@9Z9YR9ZRepublican8mos8MO
I think that Israel is wrong for the discrimination against its Palestinian citizens however the war and terrorist act were not okay and must be put an end to.
@9Z9H6ZRRepublican8mos8MO
We should support them but understand we need to support ourselves and the money going to Israel should be for the poor or the students for college or for Medicare
@9YM3BXJRepublican8mos8MO
Yes, but such support needs to be budgeted. The US should not be funding anyone’s war.
If a country wants our help they can hire US.
Otherwise our support should be centered around providing emergency supplies (not weapons, vehicles or ammunition) medical, food, water. Support for the care of their people. Otherwise unless they hire us we do not provide war defense equipment.
Supporting the people vs supporting the leaders. Thereby ideally forcing leaders to be accountable and responsible. Keeping a check and balance on the ego driven souls who are out for power and control.
@9YK26FJRepublican8mos8MO
I believe in God, In Jesus Christ, but I also believe that Israel is the holy land I don’t know if US should be involved with their country, but I know that it’s not right to kill people regardless if their Palestinian or not
@9Y97DD7Republican8mos8MO
The U.S. Governments official policy should be in support of Israel but we should not send billions of dollars in aid while we trillions in our deficit.
@9XXLSGSRepublican8mos8MO
Yes we should support and help but we should also keep a stance so we aren't giving them everything that the us has.
@9XWQPBBRepublican8mos8MO
We should not give money to a war that's not ours, we have no reason to be involved in it and should not waste our money on them that we could use for our country and the citizens needs.
@9XTSBJFRepublican8mos8MO
Yes but no because if we get into the war then we can take damages but when and if they really need help defending we should help.
@9XT6W5DLibertarian8mos8MO
Doesn't matter because no matter what we are going to found Isreale because they are our ally and we always helps our allies
@9XPJLMGLibertarian 8mos8MO
I think that we should help others that are in need but equal consideration should be given to domestic issues that we have in our country like health care or better schools, public safety, crime. We can go all in on helping some one else before helping ourselves.
@NovamoderateRepublican 8mos8MO
Yes… unfortunately, Israel stands out as the only functioning democracy in the Middle East. - Bibi needs to step down.
@9XKTRFRRepublican8mos8MO
Yes but I think the aid should be more for the people and not so much the weapons and things like that they should put it towards food and housing for the people there.
@9XKPFYNRepublican8mos8MO
We should continue to support isreal also while trying to calm down the war between palestine and isreal
@9XK9G4ZRepublican8mos8MO
Provide aid until official statement saying that they have broken international law as indicated by the ICJ
@9XJWKCZRepublican8mos8MO
Personally I think we should support Israel but it terrible what they are doing with that funding. I think restrictions and stipulations to it. We shouldn't send money to israel to fight Hamas just for them to bomb a childrens hospital in lebannon
@9XJK83MRepublican8mos8MO
I say no but we should focus more on the problems in our country rather than the problems in another country
@9XHC9LQRepublican8mos8MO
Pull out funding for foreign countries and fix domestic issues such as homelessness and the job and housing market
@9XFVSV6Republican8mos8MO
I think that we need to just find a way to hold both countries accountable and find a way to end the war
@9XDXJMRRepublican8mos8MO
We should provide support for what they need. We do need to start pulling funding from all other countries though.
@9XDK4YLLibertarian8mos8MO
Yes, but respect both Israel’s and Palestine's sovereignty and do not dictate how it should interact with its neighbors and not give aid to any foreign nations
@9XDFK74Libertarian8mos8MO
Yes increase funding in order to move people away from the war respect Israel’s sovereignty and do dictate how it should interact with its neighbors we should give fair support to Israel and Palestine.
@9XC2D2YRepublican8mos8MO
No, we should help everyone and stuff that needs help here then worry about other countries troubles.
@9XBHGKBRepublican8mos8MO
We should flood Israel with insane amounts of weapons so that they can crush the enemy and be done with this war instead of just letting people die.
@9X99XTLRepublican8mos8MO
We should support Irael with aid if the war gets even more complicated with Iran, but supporting Israel and trying to stop the war with HAMAS and the other terrorist proxy's is a good start for us now.
@9X6PHG6Republican8mos8MO
No because I think the United States tries to be the hero in everything and spends an immense amount of money and this was a similar thing to when the Ukraine against Russia tension.
@9X59P4YRepublican8mos8MO
they are a non-NATO ally so yes and no. No for the simple fact that they shouldn't be our problem and yes because they are an ally.
@9X4YSY3Libertarian8mos8MO
We shouldn't be giving aid to people in other places whenever we can barely give aid to our own nation
@9X4DL8BRepublican8mos8MO
yes, lower the amount of money given but also give aid and support. but also let them be their own state
@9WZHHYMRepublican8mos8MO
Have an agreement that other countries in the UN should also pitch in not just the US as the foot most the money in.
@joehochmanLibertarian 8mos8MO
Don't aid anything that harms civilians. Military aid must have humanitarian strings attached. Don't be a party to murder.
@RollinWhiteRepublican 8mos8MO
Yes, but only if Israel acts within the morality of Judaism, and not the immorality or degenerate nonsense they have slipped into currently.
@9WTDJDDRepublican9mos9MO
We should not support any country unless they are a significant ally until we fix our national debt.
@9WT54HRRepublican9mos9MO
Continue to support, but reduce funding, limit troops, and do not waste taxpayer dollars in foreign intervention.
@9WSBBLJRepublican9mos9MO
We should still help them out but we need to put our country first and give to the people who need it in our country.
@9WRX38ZRepublican9mos9MO
No, Support Palestine because Israel stole palestine's land and started new wars, I believe Usa should cut all support and aid
@9WR7W9VRepublican9mos9MO
We should limit the amount of aid. We are throwing billions of dollars away and its starting to hurt us as a country economically.
@9WPS9VBLibertarian9mos9MO
no, but based on my religious beliefs the people should try and help support Israel as much as possible
@9WPRQDBRepublican9mos9MO
We should continue to support them because they are our ally, but not to where it damages the state of our country
@9WN6XRPLibertarian9mos9MO
Support in the sense of trade deals? Sure, giving money? Absolutely not! The tale a loan that we cancel. We give them material and money. I wish israel well. Good luck!
@9WM5CRNRepublican9mos9MO
Yes, continue to support but reduce the amount when our own citizens are in need of financial assistance.
@9WHT2GTRepublican9mos9MO
If we stand against one side, it creates bias towards the other side. I believe we should stay out of it.
@9WHR6QGRepublican9mos9MO
I agree with supporting them but we only need to do that for so long cause we might not have enough support for the U. S if we get attacked
@9WHLFZXLibertarian9mos9MO
No, this war of Muslim and Jewish has happened before when Jimmy Carter was in office and us siding with the Jewish side made our economy terrible.
@9WHGW2LRepublican9mos9MO
With threats in the middle east, Like Iran Hezbollah Yemen,And every terrorist organiztion, Untied states is against so I believe if we give israel military aid to fight against terrorist organizations with American help there will be peace.
@9W6D7R3Republican9mos9MO
NO, this has nothing to do with us, we should focus on supporting our own country, Israel doesn't care about us.
@9VLYYXTRepublican9mos9MO
The US has no business fighting other countries wars for them especially when we are spending money we don't have to do so. focus on strengthening our own economy before helping other countries in their religious wars.
@9VHB8MHRepublican9mos9MO
Yes, but simmer it down a bit. We give way too much money to other countries, we should focus on ourselves first.
@9VCT6TBRepublican9mos9MO
Iran just shot 180 missiles into Israel and American equipment was used to take down most of the missiles we have boots on the ground now because of our involvement which could end up bringing us into World War 3
@9TW5WD9Republican10mos10MO
We should continue to support Israel but encourage efforts to increase democracy and governmental sustainability in Palestine while also making efforts to encourage lasting peace between both Israel and Palestine.
@9S7P3V4Libertarian11mos11MO
No, as Israel has been proven to use the funds in acts of terrorism and genocide against their neighbors (Palestine, as well as Gaza, at minimum) for several decades now.
@9PX2GGZRepublican1yr1Y
Yes, so long as they stop overstepping. We should leverage our support under the condition that they stop killing civilians.
@9NSK93SLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes but only to collaborate in our fight with global terrorism and to sell defensive military equipment so that they can protect themselves..
@9NF9B4MRepublican1yr1Y
No, and we should not support any country in the Middle East nor be involved in the Middle East in any way whatsoever
@9N8Z2GTLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes, but we should consistently push for a two-state solution and provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians. Of course, this is all with the caveat that we have raised taxes on the wealthy in the U.S. and reduced spending to affordable levels. Prior to such action, such foreign aid should be ratcheted down with the true explanation that we cannot afford endless backing of either party.
@9N6X89JLibertarian 1yr1Y
Yes! They are an important ally. We should help with logistical and intelligence resources, but cut all aid. We should not send foreign aid to any nation.
@9LJY92KLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes but we should be willing to revoke all support if Israel refuses to stop killing civilians directly or by denying humanitarian aid. The Middle East has been at war for thousands of years, it is foolish pride to think we could make a difference there, and the best course is to not let ourselves get dragged into these conflicts.
@9L5S2WXLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes, but Isreal should be held accountable for any confirmed war crimes and violations of basic human rights against civilians.
@9KVCLBJLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes, support Israel but also hold them accountable for war crimes committed upon Palestinian civilians.
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 1yr1Y
Yes, but end humanitarian spending and sell old military equipment similar to the arms deal with Saudi Arabia
@9J6ZG7GLibertarian1yr1Y
We need to impose a Monroe doctrine and fix our current nation first. before getting involved in senseless draining of money through ideological wars.
@9HYYJB6Republican1yr1Y
Yes, but I don't think we should aid and support them any more than we have to if it is at risk of making our country less defended.
@9HXV2J8Republican1yr1Y
We should continue supporting Israel as we support every ally, but we don't need to send aid to a country with a top 30 economy and a top 10 military. They are more than capable
@9HN9NQNRepublican2yrs2Y
No, beacsue we are wasting our money on them, maybe give perishable foods, clothes and medical. But donate them. Stop wasting our money and wepons.
@9HLC85JLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Whilst I don't support Israel, As we are treaty bound, we probably should. However, give equal support to both war parties
@shufflethedecRepublican2yrs2Y
We should support peacekeeping initiatives and humanitarian aid initiatives, but decry the acts of terrorism committed by both Hamas and Israel
@9GT7BP4Libertarian2yrs2Y
No, we should not involve ourselves in expensive and politically difficult foreign conflicts until we have great information on the topic, both for the civilian population of the U.S. and the government so if we are to aid will be open to vote.
@9GRKDS2Republican2yrs2Y
Yes, it's an historical ally and the only country in the middle east that stands for freedom and democracy values. But the US should be the main diplomatic player and advise Israel not to comit war crimes.
@9FLXM9KRepublican2yrs2Y
We need to stop giving others so much money when we are in a lot of debt
@9FJWX8PRepublican2yrs2Y
No, this nation is founded by and continues to intrinsically flow under Christian values and traditions whereby neither Israel or Palestine align with our nation's dominant, or true, spiritual pledge
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Yes, but reduce foreign aid spending
@84ZWD6LLibertarian 2yrs2Y
The US goal should be to end the conflict
@9D4PD58Libertarian2yrs2Y
Yes but scale back involvement a lot
@8DGNL4DLibertarian5yrs5Y
Yes, but only until we remove any extremist terrorist organizations that spawned due to U.S. intervention.
@9SMR4SBRepublican11mos11MO
Yes, but our support should be conditional, and foreign aid provided for Israel must also be provided for Ukraine.
@9S79GK8Republican11mos11MO
we should help them but we shouldn't be giving them as much money as we have and or as many resources as we have given them. We shouldn't out our self's in risk of getting dragged into there war
@9FHD5GTRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes but decrease aid over the next five years to zero.
@9Y4JJYWLibertarian8mos8MO
Unlikely possible.. But we should support them as long as they are trying to peace instead of vengeful retaliation. This would be difficult to enforce though.
@9CN8PNBLibertarian2yrs2Y
I like Israel but we should not be involved Financially Or Militarily with them. They can handle their nation on their own, and we can handle our nation on our own.
@96NGPGVLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, cut all support and aid but don't regonisce Palestine
@96MGKFWRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes but reduce military aid funding
@96LGJLHLibertarian3yrs3Y
Support Israel and Palestine but don't interfere with religious conflicts.
@96G92KLRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, but not necessarily monetarily.
@96DCQVQRepublican3yrs3Y
We should not be giving money to any foreign nations while we are struggling with the inflation.
@7BK2VZ6Republican3yrs3Y
Yes, but make Israel more conservative and encourage it to adopt Christianity
@95NJB8LRepublican3yrs3Y
No, Israel is horrible and should be punished for their treatment of Palestine.
@95CH6QQRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes. they are your allies
@93Z9TVCRepublican3yrs3Y
@93TYWNLRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, however massively cut the amount of money we are spending to them, and start spending more money into our own coutntry
@93PTQ36Republican3yrs3Y
Yes but apply more pressure to address human rights violations with Palestine
@93M5H2KRepublican3yrs3Y
We must first define "Israel". There are several groups who claim to be Jews. I believe we must support Biblically defined Israel.
