On 9/11, Islamic terrorists killed more than 3,000 American citizens. The country responded by passing draconian laws, capturing and imprisoning thousands of people, and mobilizing our military for a war that to date has lasted for nearly 20 years.
As of March 15, 2020, a total of 61 people in the US had died of COVID. The entire country was locked in their homes for weeks as a result, and some are still in a state of house arrest.
Now picture that Canada and Mexico both declare that the US has no right to exist, and they begin lobbing rockets over the border on a weekly basis. Then Venezuela announces that they are developing nuclear weapons, with the stated intent of using a nuclear weapon on New York City as soon as they can build one.
How do you think the USA would respond to that?
Now why do you attack Israel for their actions?

All good points. For me: they are the only democracy in the area, and I value democracies more than any other form of government.

In your scenario, do we get the equivalent funding (high billions, low trillions) from another country, say Russia, where we have 80% American-Russians in their cabinet?

Does that matter? Or are you claiming that Israel would tolerate their citizens being killed if there was no funding?

Wondering if that would help fund the border security of our own country in high-traffic areas, positive identification and threat-assessment (including of diseases) of those that come into our land, and the resources to remove those that don’t belong to their home AO.
Seems we can’t do that right now for this country, but can for others.
I guess I’m reverting back to the main question most of us had on Eagle Base in Tuzla: “What the hell are we doing here?”
You know, the whole “beware foreign entanglements” thing that has helped bankrupt this country financially and morally.

Our own border problems have nothing to do with funding or with aid to Israel. It is all political. The reason why Dems don’t want border security is that illegals tend to vote for the left once given the ability to vote. If illegals voted Republican, you would be able to see the border wall from space.
