That's OK, the U.S. can cover that for them. No worries, Bibi.

Someone remind me what the U.S. gets out of the BILLIONS we spend on them every year? What do we get? Genocide of vulnerable people? Preservation of some conservative fairy tale about "end-times"? Access to oil being sold by completely different countries who already sell it to us directly? What exactly?

Stop supporting them, for fucks sake. We can use that money on important things instead.

The US gets an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East they can use as a hub for launching terrorists attacks

Can we just get healthcare instead? Israel has healthcare. Yet we are giving them billions a year. Where the fuck is our healthcare?

Conservatives are pure garbage.

Well, Israel gets to kill US citizens, sell US technology to China, betray US intelligence agents, and cause incredible damage to the US's reputation internationally.

I don't see a downside! /s
