Because the US government does not serve its citizens.
and demanding an end to U.S. military assistance to Israel.
Hear hear!
1)military industrial complex jobs employ hundreds of millions of Americans, so it’s not like we don’t get something for our money.
This is what you, still, do not understand. All of the money spent on manufacturing weapons for other nations could be spent improving life for Americans here.
You would only have a point if these nations were paying for these weapons. Which they are not.
This is literally taxpayer money being funneled to defense contractors so they can give weapons away to nations like Israel. They have enough wealth to buy our weapons. We shouldn't be giving them away for free while the Americans who paid for them go without higher education or health care.
Ukraine? Sure, sort of.
Israel? Absolutely not. If they need more money, they can take it from their ruling class instead of our taxpayers.
I've done all that and you're dead wrong.
Can you people please stop saying this as though the equipment we send to them is worthless?
Even if it's already built, it's still valuable and giving it away just means a defense contractor got richer at the expense of American taxpayers.
The US government doesn't serve its people.
Israel has offered peace deals and two state solutions many times before. Palestinians always walk away.
Why do you people keep saying this like it matters? Have you ever considered it's what's in those deals that is important?
Take a look at the Native Americans for an example of a colonized people accepting their colonizers' terms.
I will never understand why that’s so difficult for some people. Calling on Israel to stop the illegal “settlements” in no way indicates support for Hamas.
It's because Zionists have enjoyed complete control over the narrative for decades.
They're in overdrive right now trying to regain that control, and it isn't working.
Really? Can you show me the document that says Guiness sold an oldest person record to someone who was clearly not the oldest?
