we've given israel more than 100 billion in the last 15 years
" We've been giving the same amount of aid to Israel for decades. That aid isn't earmarked for war."

Okay. I'm going to take your 100b figure on faith, because I don't care, and say that's still significantly less than we've given Ukraine in the last 3 years.
And again, I agree with you that we should cut off foreign aid to Israel. Today. Hell, yesterday. Fact is Trump won't do it. Jewish son-in-law says it's not going to happen. He's also been staunchly pro-jew and pro-Israel his entire life.
Weird, you found one great area for real criticism of Trump. Well done!
Still nothing to do with Ukraine, however. Not a similar subject, aid is not given for the same reasons, and again, nothing to be done about it.
Note: The reason I won't dispute the number you provided is because we helped them build the Iron Dome. That aid was on top of our regular foreign aid payments to Israel, and it was expensive as fuck. So 100b in the last 15 years is probably a good number. Note that the Iron Dome is a purely defensive setup. I still remember when every single day in the news was another rocket attack into Israel, and more dead children. The assistance we provided with the Iron Dome is something I agreed with then, and still do. The rest of the foreign aid can fuck off though.
