I wonder what Ukraine could have done with an extra $12 billion.

So much for pushing Biden left

Biden and Harris are not it if you want to push Democrats and the country left. They aren’t as far right as Trump and his buddies, but the are left of center but pretty classic Democrats. Bernie was the guy to push things left, but the Democrats rejected him. Without a good progressive candidate in place to challenge in the primary, we won’t see that push left. This election it’s Harris as the best bet for keeping Republicans from doing serious long term damage to this country.

Cumulative cost?
Per year of course, a cumulative chart could never go down.

Palestine gets about $500 percapita in foreign aid, annually. Israel was around $200 last I checked.

Buddy, taking this chart alone (17.9b) and the wikipedia population of israel (9.842m), we get close to 2000 per capita.
Something here ain’t mathing to me.

You mean in military aid or are you trying to muddy the waters? Humanitarian aid is the opposite of military aid. Without the military aid to Israel, it may be they don’t need as much in Palestine.

Without it, Israel would have been swallowed up and slaughtered by the Persian and Arab Islamic hordes a very long time ago, so for half the Jewish population still left alive on planet earth, it’s a blessing
