1. Here's the thing about U.S. aid to Israel

At this time, Israel is heavily involved in military force against Palestinians in Gaza as well as Hamas. It's like trying to find white or black in the color gray. It's well blended.

When the U.S. gives aid to Israel, the funds aren't directly going to the military prosecution of Gaza. But it frees up other funds in Israel, say domestic policy, to be directed to Gaza. Money is fungible. You can't prevent it from being used for other "projects" when the intention is for the "welfare" of Israel.

Technically, our country isn't complicit with the prosecution of the Gaza military action, but our aid does make it easier for Israel to continue its operations.
