That's not how it works.

Let's say I love doing drugs, but I also have a low take-home pay of $2k/month, which has to go to food, rent, and basic necessities.

A rich benefactor comes to me and says, "Todd, I want to help you out to live a better lifestyle, but I'm afraid you will use any money I give you to buy drugs. Therefore, I will only release money to you which I can see is directly going to necessary life expenses."

I say okay, and indeed I present the benefactor with various bills to pay, groceries to reimburse me for, and rent obligations. He is satisfied and releases the money, which I honestly spend in all of these areas.

Then I say to myself, "Sweet! That $2k from my job which I was going to spend on necessities... I can spend it on drugs now!", and I do exactly that.

Has this rich benefactor bought me drugs? Not directly. Has his financial generosity enabled me to pay for drugs? Definitely.


That's basically what is going on here. You cannot give "financial aid" to a hostile country looking to attack your allies, even if you monitor where it's going. All you're doing is enabling them to spend more money against your interests.
Blinken insisted on Sunday that none of the $6bn had yet been liquidated. “Not a single dollar has been spent from that account. The account is closely regulated by the US treasury department, so it can only be used for things like food, medicine, medical equipment – that’s what this is about,” he told CNN.


Im sure you know more about this than the SOS

Irans GDP is 340b which is about half of the Suadis GDP.
Pretty sure Iran can fund this attack without the 6b

I agree with you that this is a dastardly attack but Israel stole the Palestinians land and not only did they steal it but they have walled them off to the sea and control everything coming in and out of Gaza.
IDF has killed many Palestinians and have caused immense suffering as well.

If the world wasn't watching Israel would have exterminated the Palestinians long ago.
The Palestinians have attacked Israeli civilians, so clearly Israel should have exterminated the Palestinians---assuming they actually had the opportunity to do so with relative safety.

The only reason anyone is terribly concerned about the land and can't just be one country is because all assorted retards have some belief about it being the Holy Land, or some shit.

Maybe we should give everyone in Palestine two weeks to vacate, then kill everyone who is still there. The humanitarian thing to do is at least give civilians a chance to leave.
