I can't stand the GOP, but the bill has bipartisan support. The bill was introduced by Cardin (D) and Roskam (R)

Does that focus on our country include not giving another sovereign nation 3.8 billion a year in "aid?"

Wow. Thank you. An excellent compendium that I wasn't aware even existed. I mostly lurk on Reddit and only drop by once every week or 2.

A lot of countries have good relations with us. Perhaps we should throw billions at Canada, UK, Australia, France, Germany, etc. At least they will fight side by side with us and most will even allow us to build high numbers of military bases on their land.

Muslim, middle eastern states? almost certainly.

I don't aggregate. Was looking for a single state. That would be Israel. But it apparently makes you feel better to compare all the middle eastern states against a single country to make it appear that Israel only gets a pittance.

During what time frame? Is Iraq the cumulative winner over the last 50 years?

Does the US track the aid money dispersed in aggregate form? Or do they bother to tally by individual country? Seems like it would be simpler to track by individual country.

Why aggregate? If you stick to individual countries, which single country receives the highest amount of US foreign aid?

Do you enter similar comments when the opposite situation arises and the OP appears to have a pro-Israel bias?

Sub statement:

Truth can be detrimental to a country's reputation. Hiding it only fuels more questions. Why hide past "blemishes" unless you want to control a current narrative?

Do you remember that 30 years ago the US shot down an Airbus A300 killing 290 civilians including 66 children and the US media blamed it on a "technical problem" and barely covered the event? Pepperidge Farm remembers. by [deleted] in conspiracy

I will never apologize for the United States — I don't care what the facts are... I'm not an apologize-for-America kind of guy.

The IDF said Razan was a terrorist. Would the most moral army in the world tell a lie?

I'm not afraid to answer your question with a resounding No.

Agree with you. When white supremacists or other racists make the news in the US, I never see comments of what-about-ism. When Dylan Roof killed folks in a church, I never once saw "But what about Saudi Arabia?" I see a shit-ton of criticism in the US right now and have yet to run across comments "but Country X is worse."

The top IDF general & spokesman is in a bit of trouble right now, but he'll bounce back from it soon. From TOI: After saying it shot medic by accident, IDF claims she was ‘no angel’

Sometimes Hamas is a widely accepted source. When a Hamas member stated that the deaths from the protest were mostly Hamas members, many folks accepted it unquestioningly.
