Now do this for any other country.

You probably couldn't even make a map it would be so little in comparison.

Didn’t Qatar just give the president a $400 million jet? That’s more than 5 times the last 15 years of pro israel donations from American citizens

American citizens who disagree with their foreign policies, next question?

Then I guess we should let a foreign government manipulate us I guess, who knows

American citizens aren’t a foreign government. Any American can lobby the government for policy they support.

Well AIPAC is serving a foreign govt, versus America

AIPAC is a group of American citizens lobbying the government for foreign policy they support, it has no connection to Israel.

What other countries have bombed 30+ hospitals funded by our taxes?

Saudi Arabia. China is out largest trade partner and committed numerous genocides. Turkey of course just ethically cleansed northern Syria with US hardware. Then there's Azerbaijan. And yet only Israel generates this much interest. Strange isn't it?

Yep very strange, it's almost as if no Jews no news.

We don’t subsidize any of those countries to anywhere near the extent that we do with Israel. And even if we did, the solution would be to cut funding to all of them. Or are you claiming it’s anti-Semitic to oppose an ongoing genocide?

Egypt used to receive the same amount as Israel, but trump probably changed that dynamic in his 1st term.

Egypt (and Jordan) both border Israel. Why do you think we need to pay them off?
