I don't care what anyone believes religiously. Not a single person knows, everyone is guessing!!!
What I want to know is why Israel should get BILLIONS in military aid while we watch the other side get murdered.
Giving nothing to either side would be better than this.
I guess thousands of workers in the US weaponry factories will not agree with you, as the people in Washington that want to keep a nuclear state from going to the direction of Russia.

Since when have we said Israel gets everything and the Palestinians must die?! This is all Kushner and Ivanka with Trump's complete support.
Two state solution was never a viable solution, since 1967. The reason is that the arabs never abolished the demand of settling in Israel of 5 million descendants of Arab "refugees".
Murdering? Is it a joke? Since when killing attackers with deadly weapon is murder?
Then let's do that. No money to either side. Giving a blank check in the form of billions in military aid and protection to Israel while starving and defunding the Palestinian hospitals is cruel and sickening. It will come back on us.
Ok.
Give Israel Sinai back. The military aid to Israel came to replace the strategic Sinai peninsula that Israel gave to Egypt, so Egypt will leave the soviets and move under US wings.
There is one and only obstacle for peace: The Arab demand of "right of return". Please read about it.

What we are "defunding" is terror tunnels. They use a small amount for legitimate purposes; the rest goes to killing or Swiss bank accounts.
Unfortunately Israel doesn't see Palestinians as Israeli citizens.
You've got that reversed. After 1967 the Palestinians were given the option to become Israeli citizens and a high majority of them refused. Their thinking was that there would be another war soon and everything would be undone, thus they would gain all the lands of Israel. During their wait the PLO came into existence and was rising in power. In 1973 that war came and as we all know the Arabs lost again. The Palestinians chose the PLO over Israel time and time again. What could have been was gone at the end of the 1973 war.

LMFAO, What President made that awesome foreign aid deal with Israel and Egypt.
Which president boldly cut aid to Israel to punish them for human rights violations, including the killing of US citizens and sailors?
Yeah none.
Palestine never deserved foreign aid in the first place, nor should it be our responsibility to provide it.
What does the US-Israel-Egypt Treaty of 1979 funding for both Israel & Egypt put together by POTUS Carter have to do with the sailor incident of 1967 that Israel paid every lawsuit related to it in less than two years?
Facts have no power here. You're trying to reason with bigots that hate Israel and want to see Israelis exterminated.
Reading through this thread, there is a lot of misinformation going on. I see it more of ignorance rather than bigotry. And fwiw by reading through this thread, it seems to be both sides of the coin.

You've got the wrong region. The US is defunding the PA/PLO/Fatah who has been paying around $350 million a year to incarcerated Palestinians/Arabs. The PA/PLO/Fatah puts payments to criminals as a primary outlay of funds and places their own citizens on the bottom of that list.
