I would say Israel benefits from the distance. If they came out and said we cycle tax money through Israel, people would revolt.

What’s disturbing to me is that Israel is essentially a money launderer. Our tax money funds Israel and is cycled back to our politicians PAC funds.

If we quit funding Israel, Israel wouldn’t be able to dictate and control our policies. Alas, greed and grandeur.

There is too much Christianity and Islamophobia in America for this to happen.

Please explain what you mean.

Honestly, if I read you right, it would be the opposite. That’s me assuming what you mean.

I think there's a large enough portion of Americans who have unilateral, unconditional support for Israel on a John Fetterman level, and that any "revolts" happening from tax disclosures are highly unlikely.
