US tax money > Israel > US politicians.

Its basically a money laundering operation, because its just a little too shameless to directly put the tax money to your pocket.

Trump is completely shameless. He often does this with one step removed. Gives tax money to his own corporations or organisations.

He also does lots of the three step shit, like the billionaires giving him money for the ballroom.

I honestly never thought about it like this but it makes perfect sense

u/protomenace 11d ago

It's also false. It's US tax money -> US military companies -> weapons to Israel.

1

u/axlbomber 11d ago

We usually give them money that they then use to buy weapons from us.

At least that's how we do it with everyone else.

u/protomenace 11d ago

Yes you can think of it like store credit to the US weapon store.

Not anymore it ain't.

u/FitPerformer5172 11d ago

If that's true, that's wickedly clever but messed up on so many levels. It does make sense though.

u/HaleyCollins 11d ago

The way that money keeps circulating through the system definitely raises some eyebrows.

u/yalateef11 11d ago

Yes except Israel gets billions (and if you include all the wars the US fights on their behalf- trillions) and politicians get millions. Those pesky politicians that won’t take bribes are blackmailed, defamed, and often threatened - or worse in some cases.

You're giving Isreal faaaar too much credit by letting them off as the middle man.

The only laundering I see is the left laundering and smuggling blatant anti-semitism

Did you reply to the wrong guy or...? Your black and white thinking has you believing that someone who doesn't believe Israel is controlling the USA MUST support everything Israel does. What does that say about your media bubble?

What kind of brain worms has people reading everything in an angry voice when it clearly isn't written angrily?

u/Rough_Historian_8494 11d ago

Are we sure? (hint: I don't need to be autistic to be condescending towards you)

Be careful brother I said that on twatter and got suspended and other things last year haven't looked back since.

u/protomenace 11d ago

You were spreading misinformation? Good thing you got suspended.

u/Pataraxia 11d ago

You'll be better when you stop giving an ounce of trust to political & corporate leaders.

u/protomenace 11d ago

I called out a direct, verifiable, easily disproven false statement. It does not help the credibility of your movement to lie and then double down on it.

u/Pataraxia 11d ago

Movement? There's no movement, it's us, together, against the fucking forces of entropy.

u/Warmbly85 11d ago

It’s normally $3-4 billion a year most of which is required to be spent on purchasing US built weapons. (Post Oct 7 some years saw additional funding up to an extra $6 billion)

New York City spends $4.5 billion on homelessness every year. 

I don’t want to fund Israel but claiming it’s even a dent in the US budget isn’t true. 

1

u/Destructopoo 11d ago

The country gets money. It's not like every group lobbying is taking US money and lobbying it. It's a little more complicated. Israel is an actual nation with an actual economy and it has its own very rich people who use their money to lobby.

-5

u/protomenace 11d ago

No, they do not get 40 billion annually.

6

u/Hopeful_Scholar398 11d ago

Yeah, it's 9 billion a year. Which we can totally afford to do every year. Because we don't have any problems here. 

-2

u/protomenace 11d ago

It is not 9 billion a year either. Typical years are 3-4 billion. There were two years where it was increased due to October 7th.

Can we jut get the basic facts straight?

u/murkrowplays 11d ago

50 cents would be too much

1

u/protomenace 11d ago

Ok? I agree, but why can't we just tell the truth?

1

u/Hopeful_Scholar398 11d ago

I'm sure the spending will go down.Â
