Israel is a nuclear-armed nation, and they are less than $400 billion in debt. They are quite a thriving and successful nation. Their economy is strong. They are doing a great job for their people. However, the United States, the American citizens, are $37 trillion in debt, yet we are continuing to send hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid constantly to foreign countries. This has to end at some point. Our problems here at home for Americans and the American taxpayer who are paying for all of this have gotten too large. I also want to point out that Israel bombed a Catholic church in Gaza, and that an entire population is being wiped out as they continue their aggressive war in Gaza. We are heartfelt about the October 7 tragedy when innocent people were killed. However, at some point, the United States needs to recognize that Israel is a strong country. They are nuclear-armed, and they are capable of defeating their own enemies. It is right to stop funding this as we give them $3.8 billion every single year anyway.
