America’s insane handling of Palestine

Regardless of what happens today, it’s fair to say that the multiple plans concocted by the Anglo-french alliance about a century ago was inspired by Zionists without any regard nor input for the spread out Arab communities that constituted the majority of people living in Palestine, but were judged too primitive or backward to be able to form their own Nation. 

Since that time, Israel has maintained a de-facto apartheid and domination over the Palestinian, helped by the largess of the US government that through this day has provided Israel with about $250 billion in today’s dollars, in military, economic, and missile defense funding, making Israel the largest cumulative recipient of US. assistance since World War II.

While Israel receives more foreign military financing than all other countries in the world combined, it is more than capable of purchasing its own weapons. According to the World Bank, it has the twenty-ninth-largest per capita GDP in the world, ahead of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, and Japan. 

What are the Palestinian receiving from the US? Biden just reinstated $200m in annual aid to Palestinians that were previously slashed by Trump. 

So, we have this absurd situation in which the Israelis are given by American taxpayers more than 3 billion dollars a year to destroy Palestine, while the later must make do with 200 million to buy enough body bags, bury its dead and clean the rubble in Gaza. If this isn’t insanity, I don't know what is!
