That money goes to both Ukraine AND Israel. Not just Israel. Here’s a breakdown:

Enjoy!

So? Money is going to Israel.

The sum of money I referenced is actually how much money has gone into Israel historically, not Biden's request. It's estimated between 150 and 250 billion.

What Biden requested recently were 14.3 billion, besides the military aid.

You haven’t bothered to look up why that money is being sent, have you? Of course you haven’t. It would cool down your outrage and you’d have to find something else to yell at people about online.

Go learn things. Come back when you’re done.

Military development, iron dome and defense systems.

What's your point?

First you said the US was paying back to Israel, which was false. The you tell me to learn things and come back. You really have issues.

My point is, you have no clue how things work on that level to be making accusations. You’re a random kid on the internet putting actions to people so far above your station that nearly everting you say shouldn’t be dismissed as ignorant nonsense.

Which is exactly what I will do. You’re getting blocked along with all the other tankie kids that spew bullshit.

You have issues, good luck.
