Why do we waste so much attention & money on Israel & Palestine? Why don’t we just STFU?

Let them battle it out. Is it an image thing? The same goes for Ukraine. Who appointed us the world police?
There’s literal billions of dollars we send to these shitholes, and for what? That money could be spent on America & its people. Or at the very least, lower our tax burden. It’s asinine the money, time, & resources we waste on these cesspools.

Probably because politicians gets money laundered back to them through various outlets ie defense contractors

spend some time studying the military industrial complex, grifting, etc.

I suspect the main reason is because the legacy deep state makes their money through the military industrial complex.
I don't understand all the mechanics, but they need these conflicts to keep the money flowing.

Why do we and who originally thought it was a good idea, for us to bend over backwards for Israel? Like what’s a legitimate argument, besides “They’re God’s chosen people”? We really got fooled.

Why do NONE of y'all know how small the amount of money we spend on foreign aid is compared to the total budget?
Why do ANY of y'all think it's any significant amount?
We send foreign aid to 157 countries worldwide. If you add all of it up, including Israel and Ukraine, it's typically around 1% of the total budget.
In other words, if we stopped ALLLLLLLLLLLL foreign aid so that you could keep more of your money, you'd be able to keep a fricking whopping 1% more of your taxes.
Why do ya'll let Huckster Carlson and others manipulate you into such a constant frenzy over something like this that is so obviously a complete non-issue?
Why do NONE of you look into it yourself instead of just letting them wind you up and watch you go nuts over it?

Israel is not “ a shithole “. Historically, it’s the Holy Land for those who built Western Civilization, and currently it’s one of the most modern countries in the world. Just saying. Although I appreciate your generosity fatigue.

Like it or not but worrying about The Holy Land is in our blood/genes as our culture. Our Western European roots/ancestry cared about so so do we still. Caring about it was a concern for many early Americans too.
The Holy Land is nothing like any other, so throwing it in with Ukraine or any other part of the world is not correct.
Now, can we do things better to make sure Christians are treated properly, and not being wasteful?? Yes! But making sure The Holy Land is stable and protected is just what we do naturally, and will, at least should, continue.

Now do Ukraine and Zelensky.
War is hell. That is why you have freedom now while living in the United States What if we never went to war with other countries wanting death and harm to the United States? Do you think your soy arse would be living right now? Hamas out of Palestine created this BS on October 7, 2023. This will eventually wind up to where these illegals will hide behind your own borders of the United States and cause a very big deal here if you are not careful believing that sometimes you should protect your country.

The Palestinian vs Israel thing will never be settled. One is gonna have to kick the arse if the other. Why not let Israel get it out of the way now.

Honestly your comment smells like the exhaled bong hit of some naive 20 something who doesn't know how the world works, how money or taxes work how international diplomacy works. Isolation is not possible in 2024. The money we spend there is a pittance compared to what we are spending to service our debt, that we mostly owe to ourselves.

I pay attention to the situation due to an interest in Bible prophecy. You are free to focus on other things as you wish.

Because it is a battlefield for a much larger regional proxy war which has been raging for decades.

Let them battle it out.
We are contractually obligated to one side. And it's a far cry from a grifter state to a state that glorifies child rapists and murderers in the name of Allah.
On a tangent, while I personally don't give a shite about Israel, they need to kill all of Hamas. If we're being honest, they need to kill every Palestinian in Gaza. It doesn't matter who does it. It just needs to be done. They are terrorists. They elected terrorists. They have taught their young children to be terrorists. Their culture is of rape, murder, and terror.
There are no good Palestinians, and they laugh at the weakness you show when you talk about killing their innocents. There are none. Period.
I have no sympathy when a terrorist dies. Let Israel kill them all so we don't have to do it later, or scratch our asses and say, "well why did they put a dirty nuke in Manhattan and kill millions, hur dur?"

Trillions disappear around the world with the MIC and the Pentagon. Trillions upon trillions. Nobody even knows where the money goes. It just vanishes into a corrupt system of elite politicians and corporations.
