Where do you get this bullshit from?Other than ripping off the US for oil, what else has KSA given the US in return?Israel is our ally in the Middle East. Palestine is not. Duh?I believe Trump was referring to the 370 million we give to the UN fund that provides assistance to Palestinian "refugees". THAT is totally optional.Trump's actions in the Middle East brought peace to the region. Biden's actions have resulted in a resumption of violence because the Palestinians know he won't cut off their aid if they misbehave like Trump would have. What did you think was going to happen when you give Iran billions of dollars? Oh wait...you're as naive as Joe...you thought they'd spend it on something OTHER than terrorism? Aren't you special! (eye roll)Trump's actions in the Middle East helped to set up the attack by Hamas. He was as one-sided as he could be to get the Jewish vote, beginning with the embassy transfer, elimination of financial aid,Ilhan Omar Justified Attacks on Israel and Condemned Defenses Against Them
You might think that America's politicians would be supportive to Israelis, given the situation. Some have been. But when it comes to the progressive left, the messaging has been astonishing.www.google.com

Terrorists didn’t attack Israel under Trump, who is banned on Twitter but Omar and the leader of Hamas are not banned. If terrorists are emboldened to attack Israel then what stops them from attacking us next. They see Biden as a weak ass President by just seeing the crisis at the border, him stating America is systematically racist and of course now attack on our allies.
Trump killed terrorist leaders, Biden emboldens them.
Elections have consequences.
Truth over Facts
and totally ignoring the Palestinians as a part of the process. This attack is a perfect example of unintended consequences. and predictable since Trump never looks at the big picture.
First of all, the Palestinians did NOT "misbehave" like you claim, since the rockets had to be fired in retaliation for the Zionist attacks and murders on the Temple Mount and home confiscations.
Second is that we only give the Palestinians $200 million a year, not even enough to cover the cost of garbage collection, compared to the $5 billion we give Israel annually. And that $200 million is required by treaties going back to Reagan, Carter, Bush and Clinton.
You have to give it by US law.
It is not optional.
And how does that compare with 5 billion a year for 8 million Jews?
Israel isn't an ally.. They are on the dole. KSA has been an ally since the late 1930s and they don't get US foreign aid.. Israel has blatantly betrayed several US presidents including Eisenhower and Reagan.
We have 25K troops there and we still pay premium prices.
They built the bases.. and paid the US a million dollars a day for air defense of the Kurds after Iraq.. Of course the US said they would leave as soon as Kuwait was rescued.. but they stayed 13 years.
KSA pays for all weapons and training. KSA has never ripped off US oil .. NOT a penny. You are dumb as a stump.
The US taxpayer pays and we pay the same as any other nation.
