    If you look hard enough you can always find a nit to pick.

    When there are billions of dollars of heavy weapons pounding the entire area to dust, it’s completely disingenuous to talk about who paid for a particular bullet or gun.

    The entire operation is heavily subsidized by US military donations.

      A rational person would surmise that if the weapon wasn’t US supplied she would have been shot in any case and weapons supplied by the US has nothing to do with the fact this is not about US politics.

      But, the outrage machine doesn’t look at facts.

      They simply deal with hyperbolic nonsense, like your last sentance.

        A rational person would take the information in context. The shooter was not acting in isolation. The shooter was part of an organized military that is heavily subsidized by the US government.

        What’s hyperbolic about the last sentence? It’s an easily demonstrated fact that the US sends billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. It’s an easily verified fact that this is a large portion of Israel’s military budget.

          The Israeli military is not subsidized by the US Government. Certain of their weapons are. This includes air frames, ordinance and assembly pieces. The rest of the military cost of other weapons, wages, training and maintenance is completely paid by the Israeli government. They can not spend the US Congress allocation on anything but US goods. Isreal builds it’s own small arms, tanks, rockets, etc. With their own money.

          This article has nothing to US Politics.

            This is just insane. No normal person would doubt that arms shipments are a military subsidy.
