I guess they really want Israel to stop!
Sorry bro. I guess keep calling it out. I guess it feels like not enough but that’s all you have, I guess
You’d have to renounce US citizenship, the US taxes citizens living abroad too. And after you’ve done all that, you won’t have changed the amount of money going to Israel by a penny and you will have made it slightly more likely pro-Israel-funding politicians get elected because one vote against has left.
So if anything you’re overturning your life to make the problem worse.
Donate to aid organizations if you want to improve the situation for Palestinians. That’s what you can do.
Every dollar saved because of “defensive aid” gets spent on offensive weapons…
If they had to pay for their own defense, they wouldn’t be able to start so many wars at once.
Normally, I could understand offering at least some minimal baseline level of defensive aid (edit: and perhaps even an inflated one considering that the the one year anniversary of the Hamas attack is coming up), but…
Israel has nukes. Why the heck does the US need to offer defensive aid to a nuclear armed country?
The US doesn’t do this for any other allied (UK, France) or loosely allied neutral (India) country with nukes.
Bombing other people isn’t fucking self defense…
I have no issues with funding actual defense mechanisms like the iron dome and whatever. Small munitions, bulletproof vests, whatever you need to DEFEND your citizens I’m cool with. When it turns outward and you start “military operations” against other countries that’s when I say good fucking luck on your own.
I have issue with supporting an apartheid state. I think aid should be conditioned on Israel granting full citizenship to Palestinians.
Sure, here’s a professor of International relations in Israel:

Asked whether Israel could get by without US economic and diplomatic support, Benjamin Miller, Professor of International Relations, and the Director of the National Security Center at the University of Haifa, gives a one word answer - “No.”
But but we are pushing for a cease fire. What a smoke screen.
Normal people: “Israel is starting to become the aggressor”
Christian muricans: “B-b-but the b-bible!!”
Stop doing this.
Doing what? Showing how the Biden administration and Democratic party are perfectly happy to help Israel kill children?
A Republican administration would be licking Bibi’s butthole just as much, if not more. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that Israel has overstepped the “defending itself” excuse, and is committing war crimes in their attempt to destroy Hamas by exterminating and land grabbing from the Palestinians (with Lebanon next). None of this should be funded by the US.
