(13,283 posts)No consideration other than blaming Israel enters your mind, no matter how demonstrably flawed and partial your excuses turn out to be.
You just completely overlooked the fact that I didn't compare Ukraine to Israel. I compared US aid to Ukraine to that of Israel, on the terms you brought up: its total amount. It is you who are now suggesting a preposterous comparison to cover up your previous claims.
You are not concerned with the deaths of innocents. You are only concerned with the deaths of innocents when it comes to fallacious attempts to blame them on Israel. You are completely disregarding the deaths of innocents under any other circumstances, anywhere else in the world. This is so capricious on its face, it speaks for itself, no further comments necessary.
US aid to Israel started when the combined armies of five Arab states invaded Israel when Israel had no formal armed forces. Since then, Israel had been invaded several times with the forces of combined Arab armies. It is still being invaded by the armies of Iran's terrorist forces on multiple fronts. Since you have apparently done your research now, you should be able to figure out why Israel stands apart from other countries in the Middle East that receive US foreign aid. Just ask yourself how many of these countries had been ever invaded by the combined armies of multiple neighboring states, and how many times. When you think of it, the answer is obvious, isn't it? If you ever choose to think of it.
Somehow, the sudden concern about your tax dollars disregards all of this. You have as much agency of your tax dollars going to Syria as you have anywhere else in the world, and pretending that your agency for your tax dollars going to Israel is any different only accentuates your bias.
But... Israel. I've seen this movie again and again. And it only gets worse as time goes by.
