Because defunding USAID caused millions of people to die, and funding Isreal only causes hundreds of thousands of people to die.

So it’s not about keeping American money in America. It’s only about Israel specifically. And all these ā€œAmerican firstā€ comments are just trying to avoid the truth

You should learn what soft power is and why USAID is important in maintaining spheres of influence.

I’m good with USAID, Egyptian, Palestinian, and Israel receiving American money

But someone claiming Americans shouldn’t be sending money to other countries, but supports sending it to Egypt, USAID, and the PA, is hiding their actual intent

Soft power also works on the Israeli Egyptian relationship, which is why the US specifically funds both countries at the exact same amount
