WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States under the Biden and Trump administrations has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago, according to a new academic study published Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that provoked the conflict.

Another study, also published by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, says the U.S. has spent roughly $10 billion more on security aid and operations in the broader Middle East in the past two years.

    If we’d wanted, we could have given nearly six hundred dollars to every American living below the poverty line for the same amount of money we spent funding genocide abroad.

      Around here we give money to billionaires, buddy. And pedoking did just that and the. He gave more money to israel so Arabs clearly know that we are providing active support. When 9/12 happens, Americans will do a pikachu face and say:

      why would anyone do this to us?
