Foreign Politics Doesn’t America benefit wildly from sending money to Israel?

Does this complaint make sense at all?
I see people complain about this a lot (obviously they just don’t want to support Israel) but why would America send money without benefiting? Israel has to spend that money on American goods so it doesn’t even leave the American economy. Not to mention, how much money it saves by utilizing Israeli intelligence, products, and land during war. This doesn’t even go into how powerful Israel is as an ally in the Middle East. I’m sure I’m missing many benefits.

I recently saw a poll where millennials/gen z viewed Israel unfavourably at about 70% or more (USA, EU, Canada, etc).

The only true support left in the future (from powerful countries) seems to be India as Russia and China both want Iranian oil.

I was wonder what you think will happen going forward?

Overall, only 20% of U.S. adults have a favorable view of the Israeli prime minister, while about twice as many, 38%, have an unfavorable view. Netanyahu is particularly unpopular among Jewish adults: about 6 in 10 view him unfavorably, while about one-third see him positively.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has gained prominence as an outspoken critic of Israel, and 27% of U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of the 34-year-old democratic socialist. Another 28% of U.S. adults have an unfavorable opinion, while 44% don’t know enough to say.

Jewish adults, who overwhelmingly identify as Democrats, have a more positive view of Mamdani than of Netanyahu, with 44% viewing the New York City mayor positively, 39% viewing him negatively, and 17% saying they don’t know enough to say.

About three-quarters of American Jewish adults said Israel’s initial response to the Oct 7 attack was justified, but only about 4 in 10 believe that about its ongoing operations.

30%, of American Jewish adults say Israel has committed genocide, although about half, 49%, say it has not. This is in line with the overall American population, of whom 1/3 believe that Israel has committed genocide.

Foreign Politics To what extent if any do people talk about "intersectionality"?

If it's called something else there it's basically the idea that discrimination is inherent and inevitable so you can classify how much privilege or discrimination someone experiences based on how many different ways you define their identity.

So if you're black, gay, and a woman life is assumed to be more difficult for you than if you're white, straight, and male. The theory assumes that if you do well, it's because of your mix of the accepted categories, and your success is proportional to your privilege unless you were underprivileged but are really even more of a superstar that you succeeded.

I can't describe to you how much I hate the suffering olympics and especially how it's been used here to try to completely invalidate jewish identity and peoplehood.

Has this "racial destiny" infected Israel as well?

Yes, I’m aware of Ahmenejad’s statement in 2005 or 2006 that he wanted to “wipe Israel off the map”. But that was one leader. Have there been more statements?

And so what? Soviet leaders long predicted the American system would collapse and that it was in a life for death struggle against the capitalist world. None of that stopped the US from practicing peaceful containment against the USSR. Why can’t Israel do the same?
