Comment on Does Israel have a right to your tax dollars?

Israel has no right to anything of mine, but my senators and reps in Congress do have the right to decide to give Israel money (or not) since making those decisions is their job. It might not always go the way I want, but it doesn’t involve Israel having “rights”.

Congress is looking at decisions regarding Israel permanently becoming part of our technological development, intelligence and integrating our development of military hardware. The reasoning is obvious, they believe future representation will choose not to give funds to Israel, this way we give them the funds without every having to get congressional approval.
So they are voting to give Israel a right to your tax dollars.

They can word it any way they like, but in the US “permanent” requires a constitutional amendment, and even those aren’t necessarily permanent.
