I'd rather we stop pumping money into other nations entirely. Cut foreign aid by 75% and pump that $37.5B in "new" funds back into the economy. Give the remaining 25% to countries that need it, not puppets.

For bonus points, slash military spending because we'd already dismember any other nation that attacked us, stop with the asinine wall that won't work and build an economic wall backed by the criminal justice system instead.

I do specifically oppose any form of aid to Israel, because that country's existence is a big part of our problem over there. I more broadly oppose overseas expenditures and involvement in foreign wars when we have enough problems of our own to figure out.

The Arabs dont have the capability either technologically or at a physical level to do anything to Israel.

Israelis really are tougher, stronger, better in every feasible way than their neighbors. It's not even close.

They lose everytime they try to fight Israel. They will continue to lose with our help or without.. but without our help Israel would just nuke them all.
