Why the hell are we funding this war? Or the one in Ukraine?

And not only is the U.S. funding Israel’s war, we’re then sending aid to the people they’re bombing into oblivion. You know what’s cheaper? DON’T PAY FOR OR PROVIDE THE BOMBS!

The best analogy I can think of for this is seeing a section of your house on fire and you decide to pour gasoline on the garage.
