US citizens don't owe Israel money for bombing another country under the unsubstantiated -- and very questionable --supposition that "ISIS could have nukes". Yeah, that's quite a stretch... and I'm sticking with, no. Cut the dang purse strings.

If Israel or any other country needs humanitarian aid, wants agricultural assistance or cultural exchange programs, I'm all in. Look, if we have untapped billions laying around with nothing to do, how many American kids could get full university scholarships instead of enabling foreign political factions that perpetuate more deaths and destruction?
