      Meanwhile: https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts

      The USA has given Isreal 300 billion dollars since the 40s and 12 billion dollars just to commit this genocide. Don’t forget they got to test their shitty bridge and weapons in Gaza. But the council for foreign relations is a tankie org anyways.

      Edit: lol Jesus I didn’t even read the whole article.

      QME has been a conceptual backbone of U.S. military aid to Israel for decades, and it was formally enshrined in U.S. law in 2008 [PDF]. It requires the U.S. government to maintain Israel’s ability “to defeat any credible conventional military threat from any individual state or possible coalition of states or from non-state actors, while sustaining minimal damage and casualties.”

      The Americans are so cucked that they are legally obligated to support Isreal 🤣

          The „aid“ money you describe has now all been blown up. Idgaf what PR stunt the USA has pulled so people like you can smugly say how the USA is actually the good guy because they decided to give Palestine some of the money they found in the pentagons couch. The USA is a completely cynical entity and the only reason they do shit like this is so that people like you get suckered into supporting empire.

      Source? And how much of it is military support? Because we’re giving Ukraine a shitload of actual hardware with which to kill russians, I’m willing to bet you can’t find a single example of the same for Palestine, not one gun or bomb for killing Israelis

          I’m not seeing any evidence yet for the US actually supporting Palestinians in any way, so no

            You didn’t spend the time looking into it?

            It’s pretty well known that they send aid so I’m not going to bother sending you a link.

              Lol that’s not how burden of proof works dipshit, you made the claim so it’s your job to substantiate it. If it’s so well known then it should be easy for you to prove, you should get busy proving it instead of wasting time asking me to do your homework for you

              Yeah the USA backing the factions of the PLO that wanted peace was bad for Palestine. Those same factions are now collaborating with the genocidal regime. So your gotcha is fucking stupid and wrong try harder next time. Honestly why the fuck are you even here? I hope you get paid by the state department otherwise you’re just a tool.
