The U.S. currently gives $38 billion to Israel every year in foreign aid assistance. Most of the aid is used by Israel to buy American military hardware, such as jets and components for missile defense. $38 billion is 50% of the United States’ foreign aid budget for 2017. Opponents argue that the aid given to Israel is unnecessary since the country provides free healthcare and college tuition to its citizens. Proponents argue that the aid is necessary to promote democracy in the Middle East and maintain a balance of power with other countries in the region.

Yes, but work with both states to create a two state solution in order to end the Israel-Palenstine crisis.
@92S34SB3yrs3Y
No, Israel is a terrorist nation that profits off of killing innocent children and America has no business getting involved. I'd prefer if America supported Palestine instead though since Palestine needs our help.

No, the situation in the Israel and Palestine is too marred in controversy.

No, although we shouldn't cut all relationships with them, we should not spend one third of our foreign aid budget on them (maybe 1/5 or 1/6), be less involved and dont dictate how it interacts with Palestine
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but respect Israel’s sovereignty and do not dictate how it should interact with its neighbors, and decrease funding
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
We should give equal support to Israel and Palestine to try and find a middle ground and compromise
