We need funding to address the health care, child care and education crises that working people face every day.

We should be investing our resources to improve life for the American people.

We should NOT be wasting money on illegal and unnecessary wars.

2. We have better uses for the billions of dollars we send to Israel.

[Celerity]

11. hundreds of billions

3. 100% agree

I've been saying this for decades.

It's such common sense, and this man has been preaching it for the past 50 years.

Maybe now, we'll listen and vote for US!!!!!

4. And Bernie has said that there is always enougt money for war but when we need money for education there isn't any.

[Emile]

5. If Israel can afford national healthcare, they can

afford to fight their own wars.

6. Agreed. Bernie's right on this one.

7. Duh!

They share the same interests - promoting the interests of certain races, ethnicities and religions, stealing land and resources.

[snot]

8. Honestly,

at this point, I feel the US & the rest of the world needs to start fighting to restrain Israel; and I almost think that's what some in Israel want, at least subconsciously – they seem to be acting out a drive to spread death until it devours even themselves.

Please note, I've been more pro- Israel than not for most of my life; but the more I learned about the history of its creation and expansion, the more dubious I became.

9. Violence is the last refuge of the incopetnant. Isaac Asimov

I would also think that violence the first choice of the malicious and greedy.

12. I don't always agree with Sanders

But he nails it here.

I’m not sure why my tax money should go to not only subsidize another country (hmmm isn’t it nice they have universals health care in Israel), but actually help them clean up wars they start.

And please don’t explain to me about strategic partnerships, blah blah blah. I’m not really sure how this justifies all the killing.
