ISRAEL IS NOT THE PROBLEM... IGNORANCE IS !!!

ISRAEL IS NOT THE PROBLEM... IGNORANCE IS !!! Why the "Defund Israel" Movement Is Built on Deception, Ignorance, and Dangerous Stupidity. By Professor Toto...Tomorrow's News Today PROFESSOR TOTO MAR 01, 2026 ∙ PAID Subscribed Here’s the lie: “We’re sending billions to Israel while Americans suffer.” Here’s the truth: For less than one-tenth of one percent of the federal budget, America buys American jobs, combat-tested technology, a shield against Iran and its proxies, and intelligence that stops terror attacks on American soil. Supporting Israel isn’t “America Last” — it’s the smartest national security investment this country has ever made. And I’m going to prove it with jobs data, military technology, strategic deterrence, intelligence cooperation, budget math, and yes — covenant theology. Because I’m done pretending these lies deserve polite disagreement. They don’t. They deserve complete demolition. THE CHICKEN COOP ANALOGY — Because Apparently We Need to Explain “America First” Here’s the scenario: You have a neighbor. Hardworking. Keeps his property clean. But wolves keep coming to his chicken yard — night after night, trying to destroy his coop and kill his chickens. And those same wolves? They’re eyeing YOUR chicken yard next. So here’s the question: Are you “putting yourself first” if you go help your neighbor kill the wolves in HIS yard — or are you putting yourself first by sitting on your porch doing nothing and waiting for the wolves to show up at YOUR door? Anyone who passed basic strategy knows the answer: Helping your neighbor kill the wolves BEFORE they get to your yard IS putting yourself first. That’s exactly what supporting Israel does for America. Israel fights the wolves — Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Syrian proxies, Houthi terrorists — so those wolves don’t show up in New York, Los Angeles, or Atlanta. That’s not charity. That’s not “America Last.” That’s the most strategically sound “America First” policy you could design. But the anti-Israel voices want to pull funding, let the wolves overrun Israel’s yard, and then act shocked when American troops have to deploy to the Middle East to clean up the mess. Genius strategy. “STOP GIVING ISRAEL OUR MONEY!” — The Lie That Won’t Die Let me address the lie head-on — the one repeated on every podcast, every social media thread, by people who have never read a federal budget: “We’re sending billions to Israel while Americans suffer!” Wrong. Let me break this down in seven exhibits. By the time I’m done, you’ll understand that cutting aid to Israel isn’t “saving America” — it’s sabotaging America. WHAT THE MONEY ACTUALLY DOES ��EXHIBIT A: THE MONEY NEVER LEAVES AMERICA Under the current 10-year U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding (according to Congressional Research Service data), the United States provides approximately $3.8 billion per year in military financing to Israel. That’s less than one-tenth of one percent of federal spending. And here’s what most people don’t know: By law, the overwhelming majority of that money must be spent on American defense companies — buying American planes, missiles, and systems built in American factories by American workers. Cut that funding, and you’re not “defunding Israel.” You’re defunding American workers. Where does this money actually go? Lockheed Martin builds F-35 fighter jets in Fort Worth, Texas Raytheon manufactures Patriot missiles in Tucson, Arizona Boeing produces precision munitions in St. Louis, Missouri General Dynamics builds tank systems in Ohio and Michigan Joint Iron Dome interceptor facilities operate in Arkansas, creating American jobs that exist only because of this partnership Those are American jobs. Those are American factories. Those are American paychecks. This isn’t “foreign aid.” It’s a “Buy American” jobs program with a strategic security benefit attached. “But couldn’t these jobs come from other defense contracts?” Theoretically? Perhaps. But here’s the reality: These jobs EXIST NOW because of this partnership. They’re producing systems NOW. They’re employing workers NOW. The factories are operating NOW. Cutting Israel aid doesn’t magically “redirect” these contracts to other projects. It ELIMINATES them while defense companies scramble to find replacement work — which could take months or years, if it happens at all. Workers get laid off. Production lines shut down. Facilities close. Then, when the next crisis hits and we need to rebuild that capacity, we pay MORE to restart what we destroyed. That’s not fiscal responsibility. That’s economic sabotage. So when voices scream “STOP GIVING ISRAEL OUR MONEY,” what they’re actually demanding is: Fire American machinists in Texas Shut down American defense plants in Arizona Eliminate American assembly jobs in Arkansas Tank the American industrial base If that’s “America First,” then words have lost all meaning. ��EXHIBIT B: ISRAEL GIVES AMERICA MILITARY TECHNOLOGY WE WOULD SPEND BILLIONS DEVELOPING ALONE Here’s what America gets from Israel — technology that has saved thousands of American lives: 1. IRON DOME — The most advanced short-range missile defense system on earth, with a 90% interception rate. Co-developed with American companies, now informing U.S. systems. 2. DAVID’S SLING — Medium-range missile defense jointly funded by the U.S. and Israel, with technology integrated into American defense networks. 3. ARROW SYSTEM — Ballistic missile interceptor that operates in space, co-funded by the U.S., protecting against Iranian and Syrian threats. 4. DRONE WARFARE TECHNOLOGY — Israel pioneered modern combat drone tactics; America adapted these for Predator and Reaper operations. 5. CYBER-DEFENSE SYSTEMS — Developed by Israel’s Unit 8200 (widely considered superior to NSA capabilities in certain domains), now shared with U.S. Cyber Command. 6. BATTLEFIELD TRAUMA CARE — Israeli military doctors revolutionized combat medicine; techniques now used by U.S. medics saved countless lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. 7. TROPHY ACTIVE PROTECTION SYSTEM — Israeli-developed tank defense now deployed on U.S. Abrams tanks, protecting American crews. America gets billions of dollars in military R&D — developed and tested in real combat conditions — for a fraction of what it would cost to develop these systems independently. Israel is the testing ground. Israel refines the technology. Israel shares the battlefield data. And American soldiers come home alive because of it. To claim we “can’t afford” this arrangement is to fundamentally misunderstand how defense innovation works. We would spend far more time and billions more dollars developing these systems alone, without access to Israel’s combat-tested platforms and real-world data. HOW ISRAEL KEEPS AMERICAN SOLDIERS ALIVE ��EXHIBIT C: ISRAEL TESTS WEAPONS IN REAL COMBAT SO AMERICAN SOLDIERS DON’T HAVE TO DIE LEARNING THE LESSONS The F-35 fighter jet — the most advanced aircraft in the world, built by Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas. Israel was among the first nations to use the F-35 in combat operations, conducting strikes against Iranian weapons shipments in Syria. During these missions, Israeli pilots identified vulnerabilities in radar signatures and provided combat performance data directly to the Pentagon. Result: The Pentagon upgraded every U.S. F-35 based on Israeli battlefield experience. American pilots are safer today because Israel tested that aircraft in actual war. The same pattern repeats across military capabilities: Urban warfare tactics developed by Israel in Gaza and Lebanese cities were studied and adapted by U.S. forces in Fallujah and Mosul Counter-IED technology pioneered by Israel saved thousands of American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan Drone strike protocols refined in Israeli operations became standard in U.S. counterterrorism Israel fights the battles so American soldiers don’t have to die learning the lessons. The alternative? America learns these lessons with our own blood, on our own battlefields, with our own casualties. “But don’t other allies test American weapons too?” Yes. Ukraine tests weapons against Russia. South Korea prepares for North Korea. European allies participate in NATO exercises. But none match Israel’s unique combination of: Combat frequency — Israel operates in actual warfare conditions regularly, not just exercises or occasional conflicts Technological sophistication — Israel faces advanced threats (Iranian drones, Russian air defense, sophisticated tunnel networks) that stress-test cutting-edge systems Multi-front operations — Israel simultaneously engages threats from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen proxies, providing diverse battlefield data Immediate intelligence sharing — Israeli combat data flows to the Pentagon in real time with full technical access Joint development partnerships — Unlike arms sales to other nations, Israel co-develops systems with U.S. companies from the ground up No other ally provides this combination. If you want to cut off this partnership, you’re signing draft papers for the next generation. ��EXHIBIT D: ISRAEL DESTABILIZES OUR ENEMIES SO WE DON’T HAVE TO SEND TROOPS Simple math: If Israel collapses → America deploys 50,000+ troops to the Middle East If Israel holds → America stays home Who is Israel fighting RIGHT NOW so America doesn’t have to? IRAN Iran seeks: Nuclear weapons capability Control of the Persian Gulf and global oil supplies Domination of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen Destruction of Israel Strategic weakening of the United States Israel has: Conducted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities Disrupted Iranian weapons shipments to Hezbollah and Hamas Intercepted Iranian cyber operations Assassinated key Iranian nuclear scientists Destroyed Iranian proxy forces throughout Syria Without Israel, American troops would be executing these operations. Do you want American boots on the ground in Iran? American pilots bombing Tehran? American special forces in Syria? Israel does it so we don’t have to. HEZBOLLAH Hezbollah possesses: 150,000+ rockets and missiles aimed at Israel and potentially Europe Complete control of Lebanon’s government Funding and direction from Iran Networks throughout Europe and Latin America Israel has fought three wars to contain Hezbollah, preventing regional destabilization that would demand American military intervention. Without Israel, American forces would be fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon. HAMAS Hamas is: A U.S.-designated terrorist organization Committed to Israel’s destruction Funded by Iran and Qatar A threat to Egypt, Jordan, and regional stability Without Israel, American troops would be deployed to Gaza, the West Bank, and the Sinai to prevent collapse. Subscribed THE COST COMPARISON: Every serious estimate of large-scale U.S. military deployments in the Middle East runs into the tens of billions annually and produces thousands of casualties. The Iraq War cost approximately $1.1 trillion. Afghanistan cost roughly $2.3 trillion. Supporting Israel: $3.8 billion per year Replacing Israel with U.S. forces: Conservatively $50-100 billion per year + thousands of American casualties You want to “save money”? Keep supporting Israel. �� ��EXHIBIT E: ISRAEL’S INTELLIGENCE SAVES AMERICAN LIVES Let me tell you about the terror attacks that didn’t happen. The flights that didn’t explode. The subways that didn’t blow up. The buildings that didn’t collapse. Why? Because Israeli intelligence stopped them. Israel’s intelligence agencies: Mossad — External intelligence operations Shin Bet — Internal security and counterterrorism Unit 8200 — Elite signals intelligence and cyber operations These agencies share critical intelligence with the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, NSA, and U.S. Cyber Command. DOCUMENTED EXAMPLES: 1. The 2006 Transatlantic Aircraft Plot Israeli intelligence, working with British and American agencies, contributed critical information that helped stop a plot to blow up multiple U.S.-bound airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean using liquid explosives. Potential casualties if successful: 3,000+ dead 2. Iranian Cyber Attacks on U.S. Infrastructure Israel’s Unit 8200 identified Iranian state-sponsored hackers targeting: U.S. electrical power grids U.S. financial systems and banks U.S. water treatment facilities Israel shared the intelligence. U.S. Cyber Command neutralized the threats. 3. ISIS and Terror Network Disruption Israeli intelligence has provided hundreds of tips to Western agencies about ISIS operatives, Iranian proxy networks, and other groups planning attacks against U.S. and European targets. Many plots were stopped before they became public knowledge. Israel operates intelligence networks in places where U.S. agencies have limited or no access: Iran Syria Lebanon Gaza Yemen Deep within Hezbollah and Hamas command structures Israel sees threats before anyone else because Israel is on the front line. If you cut off Israel, you blind America. But I’m sure the social media influencers know better than the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security, right? WHY ISRAEL IS DIFFERENT FROM THE DICTATORSHIPS AROUND IT ��EXHIBIT F: ISRAEL IS OUR ONLY STABLE DEMOCRATIC ALLY IN THE REGION Name one other nation in the Middle East where: Women can drive without requiring male permission Women don’t need a male guardian’s approval to travel, work, marry, or open a bank account LGBTQ individuals aren’t executed or imprisoned for their identity Christians can build churches, evangelize, and worship openly Atheists can publicly declare their beliefs without facing execution for apostasy The press can criticize the government without journalists being jailed, tortured, or killed Political opposition parties can exist, campaign, and challenge the government Independent courts can rule against the government and prevail Women serve as judges, Supreme Court justices, diplomats, and military commanders Citizens can sue their own government and win Go ahead. I’ll wait. There isn’t one. Not a single nation in the Middle East has all of these except Israel. Let’s compare: ISRAEL: Competitive democratic elections with multiple parties Free press that regularly criticizes the government Independent judiciary with Supreme Court oversight Constitutional protections for all religions Full legal rights for women Legal protections for LGBTQ individuals SAUDI ARABIA: Absolute monarchy with no national elections Women couldn’t drive until 2018; still require male guardianship for basic rights Public executions for dissent All religions except Islam banned Journalists imprisoned and killed IRAN: Theocratic dictatorship Executes homosexuals Imprisons women for not wearing hijabs World’s leading state sponsor of terrorism No political opposition permitted SYRIA: Brutal Assad dictatorship Used chemical weapons on its own citizens Half a million dead in civil war LEBANON: Failed state Government controlled by Hezbollah terrorists No functioning institutions You don’t support Israel because they’re perfect. You support them because compared to neighboring regimes where apostasy and homosexuality can carry the death penalty, Israel has open political opposition, independent courts, and legal protections for minorities that mirror Western democracies. Is Israel’s democracy flawless? No. International monitoring organizations note areas for improvement, and Israel scores lower than the United States on some democratic metrics. But compared to every single neighboring regime — where dissent means death, where women have virtually no rights, where religious minorities face systematic persecution, where journalists are murdered for reporting — Israel is the only nation in the region with competitive elections, independent courts that can overrule the government, free press that criticizes leadership daily, and constitutional protections for all citizens. The question isn’t “Is Israel perfect?” The question is “Which Middle Eastern nation shares American values?” And there is only one answer. Israel is the only nation in the region that shares American values. THE BUDGET REALITY ��EXHIBIT G: ISRAEL’S AID IS MICROSCOPIC COMPARED TO WHAT WE WASTE EVERYWHERE ELSE Let’s talk about the hypocrisy of suddenly discovering fiscal responsibility when Israel enters the conversation. THE NUMBERS (according to OMB and Congressional Budget Office data): U.S. Federal Budget (2024): Approximately $6.75 trillion U.S. Aid to Israel: $3.8 billion Israel’s share of the federal budget: 0.056% Less than one-tenth of one percent. To put this in perspective: $3.8 billion equals approximately $11 per American per year The federal government spends this amount in roughly 5 hours It’s less than the Pentagon’s annual spending on office furniture And unlike many foreign aid programs, military assistance to Israel operates under strict Congressional oversight and Foreign Military Financing rules. The money is tracked, audited, and spent according to law. Every dollar is accounted for. Every weapons system is documented. This isn’t a slush fund. It’s one of the most transparent and accountable foreign assistance programs in the federal budget. But let’s compare to other spending: Ukraine (2022-2024): $75+ billion Afghanistan (2001-2021): Approximately $2.3 trillion Iraq War (2003-2011): Approximately $1.1 trillion COVID-19 waste and fraud: Conservatively $200+ billion identified by oversight bodies Annual domestic waste, fraud, and abuse: Hundreds of billions documented by GAO We continue giving foreign aid to: Egypt: $1.4 billion annually (military dictatorship) Jordan: $1.7 billion Afghanistan: $1.3 billion (still, even after withdrawal) Pakistan, Iraq, Kenya, Nigeria — countries that routinely vote against us at the United Nations But Israel — $3.8 billion to our only democratic ally in the Middle East, the only nation that shares our values, the only partner that gives us more than we give them — that’s the problem? That’s where fiscal conservatives suddenly draw the line? Not Ukraine. Not Afghanistan. Not hundreds of billions in documented fraud and waste. But Israel? If you’re angry about “wasteful spending” but the one item you target is the half-of-one-tenth-of-one-percent that goes to the only real democracy in the Middle East... You’re not driven by fiscal responsibility. Something else is shaping your outrage. IF YOU REMEMBER NOTHING ELSEIf you remember nothing else from this article, remember this: For less than 0.1% of our federal budget, America buys: ✅ American jobs in Texas, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio, and Michigan ✅ Combat-tested military technology worth billions ✅ A strategic shield against Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas ✅ Intelligence that stops terror attacks on American soil ✅ A stable democratic ally in the world’s most volatile region ✅ The deterrence that keeps 50,000+ American troops from deploying to the Middle East That is not “America Last.” That is the best national security bargain in modern history. Cutting it doesn’t “save America.” It sabotages everything we’ve built and forces us to spend ten times more cleaning up the resulting chaos with American blood. THE COVENANT FAULT LINE — Why This Battle Is Spiritual, Not Just Political Now let me take you deeper — because this battle isn’t ultimately about budgets or geopolitics. This is about COVENANT vs. CARNALITY. There is one word — one ancient, prophetic, covenantal word — that divides humanity into two camps: ISRAEL. Not Trump. Not MAGA. Not conservatism. ISRAEL. Throughout all of human history, whenever YHWH draws a line in the sand concerning His covenant people, men divide themselves: THE COVENANTAL — those who see the spiritual battle beneath the surface THE CARNAL — those who see only dollars, politics, and material calculations Carnal minds see: “Money leaving America.” Covenantal minds see: “Blessing returning to America.” Carnal minds see: “Foreign entanglements.” Covenantal minds see: “Prophetic alignment with the purposes of the Almighty.” Carnal minds see: “Political calculation.” Covenantal minds see: “Divine favor that cannot be explained by human metrics alone.” And here’s the truth that makes the algorithm-addicted uncomfortable: America didn’t bless Israel because it was strong. America became strong BECAUSE it blessed Israel. Look at the historical pattern — nations that persecuted or sought Israel’s destruction often paid a catastrophic price: Egypt enslaved Israel → Ten plagues, army drowned Babylon destroyed Jerusalem → Fell to Persia within a generation Rome scattered the Jews → Empire collapsed, divided, and disappeared Spain expelled the Jews in 1492 → Lost its global empire within 200 years Nazi Germany attempted genocide → Destroyed, divided, occupied for half a century Soviet Union persecuted Jews, armed Israel’s enemies → Collapsed in 1991 The pattern repeats across millennia. And now — in 2025 — voices across conservative media are saying: “Stop supporting Israel.” As if they’ve discovered some profound new revelation. No. They’ve discovered how to get clicks in an antisemitic algorithm. The Remnant understands the spiritual reality beneath the political noise. The Remnant recognizes that America’s supernatural rise — from ragtag colony to global superpower in less than 200 years — wasn’t luck. It was blessing. And that blessing has always been connected to how America treated the covenant people. Not perfectly. Not always for the right reasons. But consistently. And heaven wrote it down. TO EVERYONE SPREADING THESE LIES — STOP IT Supporting Israel is not “America Last.” It’s the most “America First” policy this nation has ever maintained. Supporting Israel: ✅ Protects American jobs (the overwhelming majority of aid spent in the U.S.) ✅ Advances American technology (billions in R&D for pennies) ✅ Saves American soldiers (Israel tests weapons in combat) ✅ Prevents American wars (Israel fights our enemies) ✅ Defends American security (Israeli intelligence stops terror attacks) ✅ Upholds American values (Israel is the only democracy in the region) ✅ Costs less than 0.1% of the budget (microscopic compared to waste elsewhere) Cutting off Israel: ❌ Fires American workers ❌ Blinds American intelligence ❌ Endangers American soldiers ❌ Invites American wars ❌ Weakens American allies ❌ Abandons American values ❌ Saves nothing (we’ll spend 10x more deploying troops to replace Israel) So tell me, all you “America First” voices spreading these lies: Which one actually sounds like putting America first? THE CHOICE IS YOURS You can stand with: TRUTH — or trend COVENANT — or carnality HISTORY — or hashtags SCRIPTURE — or sensation FACTS — or feelings The Remnant will always stand with covenant. Not because it’s popular. Not because the algorithm rewards it. Not because it’s easy. Because it’s true. And if you stand against Israel based on lies, half-truths, and conspiracy theories... You’re not standing with America. You’re standing with every failed empire that thought it could curse what the Almighty blessed and survive. Spoiler alert: They didn’t. ONE FINAL FACT BEFORE WE CLOSE Since 1948, Israel has not required a single American combat brigade to defend its territory. Not one soldier. Not one platoon. Not one company. Not one battalion. Not one brigade. Zero American boots on the ground for Israeli defense. Meanwhile, we’ve deployed hundreds of thousands of troops to defend other interests in the Middle East — at costs of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American casualties. For $3.8 billion per year, we get a strategic partner that has never asked us to send our sons and daughters to die for them. That’s not a burden. That’s a bargain. FINAL WORD The lies need to stop. The deception needs to end. The record needs to be set straight. The wolves are at the chicken coop. And Israel is killing them so they don’t get to ours. If you can’t see that, you’re not putting America first. You’re putting your ego, your clicks, and your conspiracy theories first. And history — and the Almighty — will judge accordingly.
