    Yeah personally I don’t think Israel should have access to any more American Technology including missiles regardless of their use since they can be used offensively and they’re currently committing a genocide.

    Until the Palestinians are free I think it’s pretty apt to just reject all forms of aid to Israel.

    Also there’s quite a few people here defending “Zionism” which is disappointing to see.

    Zionism has been described by several scholars as a form of settler colonialism in relation to the region of Palestine and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

    Zionism’s founders and early leaders were aware and unapologetic about their status as colonizers. Many early leading Zionists such as Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, and Ze’ev Jabotinsky described Zionism as colonization.

      It’s so astounding that the US sends aid to Israel to make sure their population has free healthcare/education, given what it looks like inside the US

        We sent them $17.9 billion since Oct 2023.

        That money could easily pay for United States Social Services multiple times
