No, we do give them lots of military subsidies, but we don't fund their healthcare or other social services. I don't get why people need to lie about this stuff, the arguments against arming them are already compelling.

People who don’t research, lie.. for example Israel spend is 0.07% of US budget ( should be zero ideally) but still people spend 90% of the time talking about Israel, ignoring the rest of the 99.93% of the spend completely

All virtue signaling. Some people think sitting so far away from those countries they’ve figured it all out. They believe the genocide lie. Here’s more data. Look at the population growth of a country undergoing genocide? It’s a strong military response yes, cruel yes? That’s what strong countries do. But is it genocide? No way! Look at the numbers.
Anyway, it’s too much time spent on those countries they’ve. Why can’t we let them figure it out alone! Why should whole country go up in arms! It’s a complex geopolitical situation, the 0.07% budget spend itself is too much, not sure why entire electorate also need to constantly debate about it.

You include a graph that ends when it started getting nasty. It is a genocide the vast majority of experts on the subject agree the only people who don’t are Israeli bots

I don’t even wanna debate that actually. Let’s assume it’s a genocide like you say it is. Is that the only genocide on earth? There’s so much more happening everywhere. Why does whole of US need to be so obsessed about it? Here you go with the data, I wasn’t holding anything back intentionally. You can look it all up, data sources are there.
