      Still do. Aid bills regularly include billions for the zionist colony on stolen Palestinian land, mostly to be used to purchase American weapons systems. So we give them money that they mostly use to enrich US arms manufacturers who donate to domestic political campaigns and call that foreign aid. This has been going on for decades. It’s not a new thing but something so regular it doesn’t even get mentioned most years.

      That’s the coupons for American weaponry. The money mostly has to be spent to buy American weaponry, which has built up this dependence on us for certain weapons that we very much could use for leverage but mostly have refused to do (outside of the recent big bomb pause).
