It’s no secret the United States is Israel’s biggest supporter, even as the country faces credible accusations of war crimes from nearly every international governance body and human rights organization in the world. The U.S. sends billions of dollars in military aid to Israel every year, making it the largest recipient of American foreign aid in history.Many Arkansans may not know their state government is also sending money to Israel, albeit as loans rather than aid. As of July, Arkansas holds $55 million in Israeli bonds, including $20 million purchased since May 1. That means Arkansas taxpayers have effectively loaned Israel $55 million to use how it sees fit.Two boards overseeing the pension funds of Arkansas state employees also recently voted to buy up to $100 million more in Israeli bonds within the next few years. As of June, the Arkansas Public Employee Retirement System (APERS) authorized investing between $25 million and $50 million in Israeli bonds, while the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS) authorized investing up to $50 million, despite an objection by an ATRS board member. If the retirement systems act on those recommendations, Arkansas public entities could lend Israel up to $155 million that could be used to fund its ongoing wars.  These recent decisions were made despite a recommendation made last fall by a senior investment manager within the state treasurer’s office to hold off on buying more Israeli bonds. The internal report cited downgrades of Israel’s long-term creditworthiness across all three major rating agencies.A few weeks after this recommendation was made, a representative with the Development Corporation for Israel — the institution that underwrites Israeli bonds sold to U.S. investors — arranged a meeting with state officials. After that meeting, the state apparently decided to ignore its investment manager’s advice and buy more Israeli debt.

Israel Pressed to Feed Gazans While Finishing Hamas; France Pushes for Palestinian State
CBN by Paul Petitte 07-29-2025 

JERUSALEM, Israel – Starkly different scenes from the war in Gaza as humanitarian aid drops begin. It comes as France calls on the United Nations to push Israel into a two-state solution.Explosions rocked Gaza Monday night, while humanitarian aid drops resumed Tuesday morning...two opposing scenes as Israel tries to simultaneously defeat Hamas and help rescue Gaza's citizens from hunger.Israel is now working ten hours a day to improve the flow of aid, and President Trump announced he's seen images of hungry children and is strategizing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over ways to feed them.“We’re going to set up food centers and we're going to do it in conjunction with some very good people and we're going to supply funds, and we just took in trillions of dollars," Trump stated in the U.K. He added, "We got a lot of money and we're going to spend a little money on some food. And other nations are joining us.”Netanyahu calls accusations of deliberate starvation "a bold-faced lie." He insists images of hungry Palestinians are Hamas propaganda.“There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza," Netanyahu declared. "We enabled humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war; otherwise, there would be no Gazans."Seeming to back that claim, recent footage from al-Sahaba Market in Gaza City, packed with food. Also, reports that a photo of an emaciated child, held up by news outlets as the face of starvation in Gaza, was actually a child with a genetic disorder who was evacuated from Gaza in June.

Caught on camera: Hamas terrorists steal humanitarian aid, beat civilians
i24NEWS  December 11, 2023

Hamas terrorists were caught stealing humanitarian aid then beating the civilians from whom the supplies were stolen, in footage captured by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and released on Monday morning.

The video evidence is just the latest showing the terrorist organization Hamas exploiting the civilian population in Gaza, whether by firing from civilian locations as the IDF has repeatedly shown, or using the humanitarian aid in various nefarious uses, such as storing weapons within UNRWA-labeled bags.

"The IDF is continuing its efforts to enable humanitarian aid - including food, water, shelter supplies and medical equipment - to reach civilians in the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the war, tens of thousands of tons of aid designated for international humanitarian organizations have entered Gaza," the Israeli military said in a statement.

"In footage captured by the IDF Border Defense Corps in Shejaiya, Hamas members are seen forcibly taking humanitarian aid from civilians, loading it onto a Hamas vehicle, beating civilians, and then driving to a Hamas-run site," the statement described the events.

Is it really, or are you just a gullible stooge perpetrating the lies and propaganda of the Hate Israel crowd?:

So how could you possibly call it genocide when Israel and the US are working hard to get food to the Palestinians?  If it was really genocide, why wouldn't Israel just let them starve to death as every other genocide throughout history has done?

How come stories like this one below never make it onto one of your Jew-hating posts, huh?

• ---------------------------------------------------

•  
• Controversy and violence: Distribution at GHF sites has been marked by deadly violence. In multiple incidents between May and August 2025, Israeli forces and American security contractors have fired on starving crowds attempting to access aid. The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights recorded 1,373 Palestinians killed seeking food between May 27 and July 31, with 859 dying near GHF sites. Witnesses and medics describe frequent indiscriminate firing by tanks, drones, and soldiers. 

• IDF claims: The Israeli military has confirmed firing in the vicinity of aid sites, but claims these were "warning shots" intended to disperse crowds or address threats. They have denied that reported casualty numbers align with their reviews.
• Contradictory evidence: Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported in June 2025 that IDF troops were ordered to fire on unarmed Gazans near aid sites. This aligns with witness accounts and reports from organizations like Doctors Without Borders.
• Targets of violence: Palestinians seeking aid are not the only victims. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that over 500 aid workers were killed in Israeli attacks between October 2023 and August 2025. 

• Political obstruction: Aid groups and the U.N. report numerous obstacles hindering aid delivery, including arbitrary inspection rules, short working hours at border crossings, and restricted items. Critics, including the EU's foreign policy chief, have accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war.
• Destruction of infrastructure: Israeli military actions have devastated Gaza's food and agricultural infrastructure, including bakeries, farms, and storage facilities, making the population reliant on external aid.

The article focuses heavily on Israel while ignoring similar investments in other countries with controversial policies or conflicts. If the concern is about politicization, why single out Israel and not scrutinize other sovereign debt holdings? While credit ratings have been downgraded, Israeli bonds remain investment-grade.

Evidence on Display at Israel’s Forensic Pathology Center Confirms Hamas’ Atrocities
 International press invited to review forensic evidence of the terror group’s October 7 massacre

Stifling the urge to retch became a difficult task as I walked through the lower levels of Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine (Abu Kabir) in Tel Aviv. The smell of rotting human remains, much of which was completely unrecognizable as human due to the brutality of the attack, was at times too much to bear.

In light of the growing international interest in (and denials of) the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ Oct 7 massacre in southern Israel, representatives of the global press were invited to see the horrors for themselves.

Forensic pathologists, including Israeli staffers as well as volunteers from abroad, were visibly disturbed by the evidence before them. Despite every effort to remain objective and detached—as called for by the profession—many broke down into tears throughout the day.

During the initial press conference, the forensics team showed images from their investigations. Among the images were those of charred hands with marks that revealed where the victims’ hands were bound behind their backs with metal wire before being burned alive.

Hands belonging to one of the victims killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The victim was bound at the wrists—as seen by marks that the bindings left behind—and then burned alive. 

Perhaps the most disturbing image in the slideshow was a completely charred mass of flesh, which at first glance could not be seen as ever having belonged to a human. It was only after a CT scan was done that experts could see the inhumanity of the image.

Charred remains and a CT scan of the remains show a parent and child who were bound together and burned alive by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Two spinal columns—one of an adult and one of a child—can be seen in the scan. The pair were likely embracing as they burned. 

Two spinal cords—one belonging to an adult, one to someone young—a parent and child bound together by metal wires in a final embrace before being set alight.

The claim that AIPAC is “losing influence” is not supported by current data. In fact, 2025 shows:

• Record-breaking financial contributions
• Broad bipartisan congressional support
• Successful lobbying on key foreign policy issues

If anything, AIPAC’s influence appears to be growing, not waning.

So what are you saying?  That the US and Israel SHOULDN'T have sent tons of food to the war-torn areas of Gaza to feed the starving Palestinians?  Because I'm OK with that too! 

War is hell, no doubt about it!  Maybe the voters in Gaza should have thought twice about electing a terrorist organization to lead them, huh?  But since Hamas started the war, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU **** AROUND AND FIND OUT!

Me, I'll save my sympathies for the 1200 innocent Israeli men, women, children, and infants who were brutally tortured and beheaded or watched their children murdered by being burned alive in front of their parents on Oct. 7th, if that's OK with you Jew haters!
