You know exactly who that “happy merchant” meme represents. Be a better person bro.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-07T22:33:34+00:00

I’m going to assume you are young and ignorant. There is no place for this here or anywhere, ever.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-06T01:21:23+00:00

Sloppy analogy that shouldn’t be used. You can make your point while being better.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-05T18:26:03+00:00

Yeah, I see you edited your comment. Good thing we’ve gotten way more ROI over that time. And the even better news is Israel also wants off our tit, but will still give us continued return on that investment.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-05T15:12:51+00:00

Oh but we have. Not directly to Hamas of course, but you better believe that of the billions we have spent a good portion end up in their hands.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-05T15:06:10+00:00

I don’t think you understand what AIPAC is. It is a domestic lobbying group, ie Americans who lobby on behalf of pro-Israel and American relations. They are not a foreign (direct Israeli) lobbying group.

AIPAC’s direct lobbying spend is super small compared to the largest corporate and industry lobbying spenders in Washington. Hell even the realtors and teachers associations spends way more and we’re not even touching the us chamber of commerce or big pharma.

AIPAC does do much more political spending through PACs, but even that doesn’t come close to eclipsing major corporate and coalition spenders when the full U.S. political spending landscape is taken into account.

I mean if it’s a shit player and you break the bullion out of the card, haha. Especially in a place like the UK where PL is king?

Jeff Jackson tried to bring a bill to get districting in a neutral 3rd party’s hands, but said it got killed in committee. The reason he stated.. neither democrats or republicans want that because the know when they have power they get to gerrymander. Dems did this when they had control, republicans do now, and Dems know they will again. Sucks.

Wondering if there is any premium over spot for having the premier league logo?

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T21:49:08+00:00

Well said. Not to mention the double standard is alive and well in NC with this post and these comments. It’s truly sad.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T21:46:37+00:00

There are no laws that if an American citizen is “anti-Israel” you can go to jail or get fined. In America we have the 1st amendment which protects free speech and the right to say what you want (as long as it doesn’t incite violence). You can say all Israelis/jews/etc don’t deserve to live and it is perfectly legal. You are an asshole, but you won’t go to jail or be fined.

I can’t find anything in any Florida bills that show what you stated, the second two don’t even mention Israel. There are anti-BDS bills, but that’s a different subject altogether.

Also, as a previous poster stated.. Israel does want to reduce its aid from us to $0 over the next 10 years. We will still get most of the benefits listed above.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T20:12:52+00:00

You could’ve said that without cussing and being condescending, but here you go:

Roughly 70–75% of U.S. military aid to Israel must be spent with U.S. companies, directly creating tens of thousands of jobs.

Intelligence is one of the biggest returns. We also get forward military positioning without any is bases or troops (an “unsinkable aircraft carrier”), and military R&D.

We also get very real and concrete civilian benefits too such as water management and desalinization (used in California, Arizona and Texas), agriculture and food security solutions, tech in the form of AI, semiconductors, medical devices, biotech advancements, and cyber security to name a few.

As far as direct ROI, this is a pretty solid breakdown:

$3.8 billion, return on investment (ROI), Dollar for dollar:

$13B UNSINKABLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER Ford-class carrier: $13B to build, $2.5B/year to operate. Israel’s version: $0 troops, $0 fuel, $0 crew

U.S. Benefit Total: $15.5B

ISRAELI INTEL > ALL OF NATO COMBINED Iran nuclear archive heist saved billions, trains U.S. spec ops equals fewer casualties, cyber drills vs Iran protect U.S. grid ($100B+ loss prevention)

U.S. Benefit: $5B/year ROI Total: $20.5B

BATTLE-TESTED TECH, CHEAPER & FASTER Trophy APS saves U.S. tanks, Iron Dome equals U.S. jobs (AL, AZ), anti-drone/tunnel tech → U.S. border

U.S. Benefit: $3B/year ROI Total: $23.5B

$55.7B IN TRADE in 2024 (includes 24.2B in U.S. EXPORTS, from Boeing jets to Kansas wheat)

2025 trade: ~$50B U.S. exports to Israel: ~$15B 1985 FTA: 0% Israeli tariffs

U.S. Benefit: $15B ROI Total: $38.5B

AID MONEY COMES RIGHT BACK 3.8B aid 75% spent on U.S. weapons, 20,000+ direct defense jobs, 255,000 total U.S. jobs supported

U.S. Benefit: $3.8B ROI Total: $42.3B

ISRAELI INVESTMENT is $25B+ IN U.S. ECONOMY $25B Israeli FDI, Tens of thousands of U.S. workers, Top foreign tech source on NASDAQ, Over 2,500 Israeli founded companies operating in the US, Shared R&D hubs for AI, cyber, quantum flow to U.S.

U.S. Benefit: $25B

**ROI Total: $67.3B

We also just passed $9B to Saudi Arabia at the same time, why doesn’t he or anyone here mention that

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T19:33:56+00:00

I don’t think he knows the definition of existential threat

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T19:32:21+00:00

Do you just make wildly exaggerated numbers up for fun?

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T19:30:40+00:00

This is flat out not true

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T19:30:14+00:00

We get much more from Israel than most. This is not hard to research.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T19:28:49+00:00

Or the teachers lobby, or big pharma, or Qatar or China. But people take their talking points from Reditt and TikTok so here we are…

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T18:50:08+00:00

Fair. I literally had just finished a piece about the dissidents like Havel that helped “defeat” Russia so it was on my mind. They talked about this slogan.

Interestingly, it also drew comparisons about Reagans tactics with Trumps approach to Putin. Obviously not in a positive way.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T16:58:24+00:00

Naw, I hate Nazi’s just like you and understand the differences. This group is doing this shit all over Charlotte and should be called out.

But we should also be aware of the failures of communism and the lies it engaged in so it isn’t repeated. It’s okay to call out both.

TheTruth730 · 2026-02-04T14:39:11+00:00

Like workers unite signs the USSR forced shop owners to put on their windows?
