I think we should really distinguish between Israel aid which is fully paid for by Israel, and one which is funded by the American tax-payer.

Don’t think it’s necessary tbh

The intended question is should American tax dollars help a or b or a+ b or nothing, and I’m sure that’s what most people took it as

What is "Israel aid which is fully paid for by Israel"? Israel gives money to the US and the US gives it back to them?

Israel will survive without aid, it did in all of its wars before.

We survived even under weapon embargo

When Israel going to send $250bn back and repay it's debts to USA?

I imagine it's important to clarify what is meant by "aid" when it's described in dollar amounts, which is usually the case in the headlines/media. Isn't a great deal of the aid being sent some of our more outdated stockpiles of weaponry rather than "printing money" or "sending money"?
