        It’s all part of the money laundering scam. The US gives Israel your tax dollars they return it via lobbying, campaign contributions and buying weapons. So instead of your taxes going towards fixing infrastructure and building a better society for all Americans, it merely inflates the coffers of sleazy politicians and enriches the the military industrial complex and its investors.
