    hasn’t it always been this way for american tax payers and isreal? the article seems to suggest that this is something new somehow, so it’s confusing.

      Yeah.

      A main discussion around the election was that people said they wouldn’t vote for Biden due to his support of the Palestinian genocide. A counterargument to it was that Trump was going to be a better Israeli ally than Trump, so it isn’t like the situation would improve with either candidate on this issue.

      Trump has paused billions in federal spending, but he is making sure Israel gets its aid.
