Or what?
Edit: FYI I'm not supporting Israel doing this
-
Or they'll give them even more money and say some angry things about it.
-
The USA could end homelessness or hunger (and maybe both) nationally for the amount of money we sent to Israel each year.
-
No, no they could not lol. Not even remotely close.
The US spends $2 Billion a year on aid to Israel.
They spend $105 Billion a year in direct payments to SNAP (food stamps) recipients.
And $32 Billion a year on section 8 housing vouchers.
-
2 billion dollars won’t solve a single thing, nationally.
-
Since ‘48, we’ve sent over 158 billion in aid- without adjusting for inflation.
It’s more than all other countries combined- including Ukraine.
Even that 2 billion could go a very long way to helping.
-
You're right, it could.
In fact, the US could fund a few wars and conflicts, end homelessness, implement socialized healthcare and fund the world's best public transit system with affordable high-speed trains between cities simultaneously.
But they don't because they don't want to, not because they can't.
-
Good thing it's more than Ukraine too. Wouldn't want any com block arms dealers mouths to go unfed.

-
That homelessness and hunger are not ended in the USA is not because the money needed is spent on other things, it is because the government doesn't want to end them.
-
Glhf passing that bill

"Or else we will be very, very angry with you. And we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are."
-
Or the region could destabilize and the US has diplomatic cover to limit their hypothetical response to a more defensive set of operations.
