With both political parties Israel comes first. 26 billion dollars of our money to Israel today. Americans struggling to afford housing, food and healthcare, while drowning in debt don't matter at all.

[@damham5689]

One thing is for sure. The world is closer to making a Palestinian state. In fact if the US had not Vetoed it, it would have happened this week. Which is strange because the US govt says they want a 2 state solution, but then squash any attempts to make it happen.

[@bench-clearingbrawl7737]

U.S. Military industrial Complex tells the U.S. law makers, war is profitable. The majority of U.S. congressman are shareholders to the U.S. Military industrial Complex. They are making billions from Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. There will be no solution or peace as long as $$$$$$ is being made

[@wheelerthree]

There was already a 4 state solution. Hence the creation of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel. The arabs were given 90 percent of the land, then still went to war to "Push all the Jews into the sea", when they failed, they lost some territory. That's the issue. They already got 90% of "Palestine" if you look at a pre- WW2 map. That's just not enough for them.

It’s because people like you think it’s divine instead of realizing it’s your tax dollars covering it. They’ve bought off our senate, house and both parties’ leadership. Our gov paid off Jordan and Egypt, all the gulf states. Really only leaves Syria, Lebanon and Iran. Read the Israel Lobby by John Mearsheimer or They Dare to Speak Out by Paul Findley.
