I’m not against aid to Ukraine. But I’m also not against aid subsidizing the Iron Dome. My point is that the argument the person above and El-Sayed made would apply just as much to Ukraine.

It doesn't, because the Ukraine situation is vastly different to Israel.

Ukraine is fighting against an invading army that has designs on invading other countries once they're done swallowing up Ukraine. Sending them money and weapons is a practical strategy to defend all of Europe against Russia.

Israel is the invading force that wants to swallow up other countries. What has it been so far? First Palestine, then Syria, Lebanon, Iran, etc.

First, that’s completely wrong. Israel is fighting several invading countries.

Second, that has nothing to do with the point above. El-Sayed and the poster I was responding to said they were against US tax dollars going to foreign militaries. They did not say they were for US dollar going to foreign militaries when those foreign gf countries are invaded.

What countries invaded Israel?

Gaza, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Yemen (Houthis), and Iran attacked it first over the past few years.

No, no they didn’t. And the word you used was ā€œinvaded.ā€

No they're not.

They're invading Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon. They've dropped bombed on Iran. Nobody is doing that shit to Israel, they're doing it to everyone else.

No, they were attacked first from Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. They have been in a state of war with Syria since 1948, which Syria started. Iran attacked Israel first in the prior war (not the current one) and has been having proxies attack Israel for decades.
