The problem with "right of conquest" is that at some point in the future you are going to get conquered right back.

We should NOT be doling out any of our money to ANY country but our own.

Actually Israel attacked first... you can't really 'conquer' a people, steal their land and kick them off it... And then scream 'among they are the terrorist for blowing themselves up at us' as the Jets of Zionist Israel fly overhead bombing them in the stone age.


Everytime throughout history when a people are occupied, abused, and subjugated, they fight back with 'terrorist' attacks. I hardly see how the Palestinians are any more terrorist then Israel kicking them off their land and bombing them. Maybe they would stop blowing themselves up if Israel stopped stealing their land and abusing them? The uneducated will resort to any methods they can to inflict harm on those who they feel are responsible for their situation. And in this case, you have a U.S taxpayer military machine fighting people with rocks.

I mean the world agrees the settlements are illegal but we do nothing to stop it but pay them. And the moment those couple weeks were done they were waiting to start building within hours.

Now Israel Is always gonna have people who hate them like Iran but that is new excuse for them stealing land.

The US should stop payments to any country, period Start taking care of our own back yard first and foremost. Too many people in this country without jobs, too many homeless, too many problems here, to be worried about other countries. I am all for private donations to other countries. I support Israel, but enough is enough all ready......

Why does the US need Israel as an ally in the Middle East? What is going to change if the US would stop sending aid to Israel?
So you would rather send money to Israel than to invest it in the USA?

How many US troops are we allowed to base in Israel if need be? I mean our other regional Allies like Qatar, Bahrain, Turkey, Djibouti, and Kuwait let us base troops there if there is the need.

But we don't keep taking land from Mexico and destroy homes.
