Not the country where over half a million of its subjects were killed in the thirteen years of war, not the terror organizations who hold over 100 civilians hostage and murdered more of them, who steal resources from their own people, who indiscriminately fired tens of thousands of missiles into civilian centers, who use their homes to hide weapons in, not the tens of thousands of victims of suicide bombings in Iraq.

And only because the largest recipient of US aid is Israel...Oh wait, it is not. Ukraine is.

At the risk of repeating myself, I rest my case.
