    I fully support giving aid to Ukraine. Just not so sure about funding the destruction of Palestine by a country with one of the world’s strongest economies

      I never said I supported funding Israel’s military, I don’t. I just added that mini explainer because it’s a different method of military aid than we provide Ukraine, and the proposal is bundled together.

        Sorry, this is on me - I should have been more clear in my first reply. I just think it’s fucked up that we’re spending all this money to support genocide when “we couldn’t afford” to spend on US citizens. Defense contractors make a shit ton of money from war and the rest of us won’t have anything to show for it. Again, speaking strictly about the middle east. Russia is a significant threat to the world so I’m fine with my tax dollars are going toward stopping their bullshit.
