    How many 100s of millions went into Gaza as aid every year? How much of that was actually funneled into other things? Also, aid to Gaza:

    The United States has been a major donor, providing more than $5.2 billion through USAID since 1994.

    Whoops!

      $5.2 billion through USAID since 1994.

      and $200 billion in aid to Israel since 1946, including $12 billion in direct military aid since October 7, 2023, since which date there have been 40x more palestinian deaths than israeli!

      whoops indeed! everyone point and laugh at the silly goose 🫵🤣

      They sent 20 billion in weapons just in August and you are talking about a quarter of that in aid over 30 years?

      They said bombs, not aid. Also, Israel blocks the aid you’re talking about, kills aid workers, and massacres civilians seeking what little gets through.
