WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States under the Biden and Trump administrations has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago, according to a new academic study published Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that provoked the conflict.
Another study, also published by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, says the U.S. has spent roughly $10 billion more on security aid and operations in the broader Middle East in the past two years.
You say that like it was cash we gave.
We sent used Abram tanks, artillery that’s 30 years old, 15 year old anti tank missiles.
That was all mothballed shit that was possibly used for training or kept in storage for last stand land invasion scenarios that we weren’t sending out.
The fuck is the homeless guy going to do with it?
You want to talk about what we could do for homeless instead?
The new ICE budget would house the entire estimated homeless population.
Every. Fucking. One.
You can do both, but instead narrow minded single issue voters want to push the one fucking thing they have the attention span to focus on.
We fucking deserve the situation we’re in.
/shakes my fucking head
It sure was weird how those tanks materialized out of thin air ready to be given to whatever war libs consider the good one. Sure wish houses would cost zero dollars just like tanks, stealth planes and ballistic missiles do.
Sorry you get so upset at the mere hint that all that’s wrong with the US isn’t a direct result of Trump and not, say, the other party that’s been in power for like 12 years in the last 16
