And why did the original request for $14 billion balloon to $26 billion in 6 months?
Talk about inflation!
Somebody can fact check me on this but I'm pretty sure the original $14 billion was made after the 10/7 attack. Normally we just give them $4/year. So now we're up to $30 billion ($4 + $26)?
Even if a lot of that is just looping around into the coffers of our MIC, and being skimmed off by lobbyists and for CEO bonus packages, that's a whole lot of money.
That's over $3000 per Israeli, in case anyone is wondering. Or almost $1 million per person killed in the Gaza war.
I bet it would have been a whole lot cheaper to buy off Hamas.
No, I'm not saying we shouldn't aid Israel. But $30 BILLION? Apparently with NO STRINGS ATTACHED? Seriously?
