The United States has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began and led to escalating conflict around the Middle East.

    Spending the money on weapons in the first place, here or Israel, is the grift. Tax dollars should be spent on proper health care or free college

      There is cities in Ukraine that look better despite two years of heavy fighting since Russias invasion.

      Fun fact. Israel sold drones to Russia which it used to target Ukraine for their bombers and artillery. And they did that after the russian invasion of Chrimea. Also Israel denied to support sanctions against Russia.

      Now Ukraine will probably be sacrificed to Russia so the US and EU can focus on helping Israel murder more Arabs.

      Truly a friend to the West.

        The only reason we didn’t arm Ukraine to the death immediately is because Russia has been the years since the Cold War extending its tentacles into the governments of the western world. We should have treated Ukraine like we are treating Israel now. They are actually defending themselves instead of using us to dominate their region.

            I got it from this, can you point to me where the antisemitic imagery is in this picture?

            Or did you think of this?

            Either way, I’m confused how I can be antisemitic when referring specifically about Russia, who is not semitic in anyway.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Bolshevism

              Jewish Bolshevism, also Judeo–Bolshevism, is an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that claims that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was a Jewish plot and that Jews controlled the Soviet Union and international communist movements, often in furtherance of a plan to destroy Western civilization. It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust.

              Works propagating the canard

              The Octopus

              The Octopus is a 256-page book self-published in 1940 by Elizabeth Dilling under the pseudonym “Rev. Frank Woodruff Johnson”. In it, she describes her theories of Jewish Bolshevism.

              And the image of Propaganda you show there has the UDSSR, US, England and China in its arms. The whole tentacle image is heavily intertwined in antisemitic conspiracy bullshit.
