    So Israel is buying your government with all the money your government gives them?

      Seems that way. They also buy a lot of bombs with that money, but yes, politicians too.

      Such a neat little system in how US politicians can pass bills to fund Israel and its genocide, funneling them billions in US taxpayer dollars every year, and then millions of that comes back to these same politicians as bribe money.

      It would be quite nice to outlaw foreign governments from doing this, and ban dark pac money as well to ensure it doesn’t happen by other means. Probably a pipe dream at this point, but would be nice.
