A winning issue that all Americans would embrace: No more welfare $$$ to Israel

Call it the "We're Sick and Tired of Your Bull$hit" defunding act, subtitled "We Can't Afford to Fork Over Precious Dollars So You Can Bomb and Dispossess Palestinian Civilians" act.

And then send them a bill for money owed.

Amazing how so many on this board just refuse to believe they're in a small minority on this issue.
