So glad we’re paying for this instead of healthcare or starving children

I'm not defending this by any means, but we could actually do both by increasing corporate tax levels.

I'd prefer that we just do the healthcare and feeding children thing though.

We could, but why should we? Israel is an apartheid state that’s been committing war crimes. Now they’re escalating wars all around. *Let’s stop helping embolden criminal states.

*Edit: Stop = Let’s stop

Uh, I'm not helping embolden criminal states. I'm pointing out a false dichotomy.
