Because it's not money. It's the value of the equipment that they are given or allowed to spend the money on. We give them 500 million or whatever in credit towards American companies that make defensive equipment.
If we only gave them the giant suit of armor, and nothing else, then that's all they could possibly use. Defense.
If we give them no suit of armor but tons and tons of guns then that's all they could possibly use. Offense.
That's the difference here, MTG wants to remove their defense so that they get more aggressive. AOC says that's ridiculous and we should remove their offense while keeping their defense solid. AOC cares about all life not just who's side is getting bombed now.
The idea that Israel being immune to facing any blowback to it's endless aggression is somehow making it less aggressive is so absurd that I can only assume you're trolling.
Is there a reason you talk like the biggest reddit loser imaginable? Do you think you're an anime villain?
Brother that didn't make any sense whatsoever. Did you not read my comment?
Any money you give to a genocidal state. Any money whatsoever. Any equipment. Any Aid. Anything. That's funding genocide. End of story.
I would support a drawdown of aid across the board.
I would not support a plan that would make Israel more aggressive. That is what this MTG amendment would do.
The idea that taking away their armor makes them more aggressive is just nonsense.
You are arguing that we should directly fund genocide here. You are sitting here saying that the American taxpayers should pay to murder children. Please be honest with yourself that's what you're arguing.
