  3.  @santoshjanakiraman8907  In 1931 85% of the Arab population of the middle east ages 5-19 were illiterate, 90% of Jews of the same age were literate. (Reasonable to assume statistics of adult Arabs was worse). In 1944 only 45% of Arabs age 5-19 went to school (I assume it was majority males, and adult males go to work while the illiterate mothers stay at home and teach the children to their best ability).

  6. Some samples of last 20 years: Nigeria vs Boko Haram 350,000 dead Sudan vs JEM/Darfur 300,000 dead Yemen vs Houthis 233,000 dead Pakistan vs Islamists 50,000 dead Syria's civil war 400,000 dead South Sudan's civil war 400,000 dead Ethiopia and Eritrea vs Tigray 600,000 dead Do you remember protests for all these dead? Me, neither. It is not about people or land in Gaza it is about Islamic domination.

  10. October 7th attack is supported by an overwhelming majority (Only 7.3% are "Extremely against" and 5.4% are "Somewhat do not support"). Survey done on November 14th, that is 37 days after the attack, after Israel has heavily retaliated (Hence support for the attack went down in Gaza strip).

  14.  @isgarryify  3.8 B US$ of US made weapons managed by the DOD Why: Oil Oil Oil (Insuring energy crises like those of the 1970's that followed by Arab Israeli wars are avoided). Open Suez canal for commerce and US navy. Weapon sales promotion Blocking competitor Israeli weapon manufacturers Geopolitical leverage Protecting Investments (~400 Israeli companies listed in NYSE &NASDAQ) Blocking Russia Blocking China Note that 100% of the aid is spent in the USA so the cost to US economy is in the inefficiencies of subsidies, that is 30% of the aid at worse calculation, most of the benefits are listed above.
