Go further than that, claw back our tax money to pay for healthcare dammit
Give em a bill and charge interest every year.
If they don't pay, most of the global economy still runs thru NYC, if we sanction their leaders and oligarchs instead of random ass "settlers" who don't even have a bank account, we could apply real pressure for their government to pay.
Yep, let's start playing Hard Ball. Stop giving breaks to economic predators and parasites.
Israel does not owe the US for weapons, because they are gifts. The nominally loans are immediately forgiven by state dept.
They should owe though. It's disgusting that we continue to gift weapons for a genocide while we refuse to fund things like universal healthcare here at home.
Yeah but it is what the US says it is. We could just state otherwise, you owe us, fuck you pay us. Not going to happen as they have our politicians compromised, with the CIA's help it appears. How about some fucking court martials for helping foreign governments compromise our politicians? Death penalty.
forgiving a loan is a permanent contract. You can validly say that everyone who previously cancelled loans were traitorous scum, as a basis for conditions for future sales to Israel, and seizing assets of all "supposed Americans" of those who bribed the traitorous scum as restitution. But cancelled loans themselves are without legal restitution.
I prefer seizing the $10T of Zionazi agents and funding of Zionazi first rule over America to death penalties.
Idk what you are talking about. I said the US officials that helped compromise our citizens for a foreign country are traitors. You have a problem with that?
As far as forgiving loans, Israel wasn't loaned anything, we gave it to them, that's the whole point here. But yes, we have cancelled loans before, including in the Magna Carta
The contractual shenanigans of gifting weapons to Israel is that they are sold with a loan. The state department immediately forgives the loan.
I agree. I prefer seizing their and their donors wealth instead of death penalty.
