Pretty its just a waste of resources, stop using our money for wars that arent ours

[maxgaston]

Nobody in America wants this yet both sides act like we do.

[cybernit]

Why should the US have to fund money to protect Israel? The money to move those ships could help with domestic affairs like homelessness, health, and border patrols. Also they could perhaps lower taxes too.

[briansass]

You realize American people need help, right? ...right?!

[sportsentertainmentco]

How about letting me go to the hospital and get an education stress-free? I literally cannot even go to the hospital in peace because of fear that I will be in debt we’re over here funding the Middle East with millions of dollars every day. I just don’t understand at what point will the US care about the natural born citizens?

[curlescrew]

More of our tax dollars flush down the drain!

[OG_Boodaah]

DAMNNN Biden. Let Israel take care of themselves!! I swear we are the United States of Israel

[barnaby]

Stop sending money to foreign wars/clashes. Send our troops home. Secure our borders. And take care of our own problems at home.

[robertramos]

How the fck is Isreal doing whatever they want to do and then the US come to defend them??? Nvm I think I answered my own question

[hawaiisurfer]

can americans vote on this sorta stuff?

[tailoredfor]

All the wrong moves for all the wrong reasons

[KNIGHTSFALLN]

Remember when making military moves required Congressional approval…?

[AustinD]

Why are we now protecting Israel after we warned them not to start a war with Hesbala

[nickhill]

The voters on both sides don't want this crap but both sides in Washington do it's pathetic

[NexaTrade]

Israel always talk about how strong they are and talk crap about America and yet they need our help

[ShAdi_-_-]

Yes! Let’s deescalate by sending our troops… great thought! 👍🏼

[jeanneromaine]

This is not our war. We are not Israel's keeper.

[RobertBalderas-gh]

The Palestinian people need to be defended from the Israel occupiers

[moali]

Please no.
Let Israel take care of its own problems, especially since they seem so eager to create them.

shame on American America to defending genociders
