    Imagine the good that could be done caring for USA citizens with all the money we send to Israel to make war.

      Seriously, it’s one of those few bridge-crossing arguments which most people will agree on, from the communists to the liberals to the nationalists. Look at all that money going to the other side of the world. Look at the local living conditions. If the governments aren’t keeping people poor, desperate and dying on purpose, then the choice of where to spend the money is obvious!
