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.

    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
