This administration is so completely morally bankrupt, we're actively helping a corrupt plutocratic thieving racist de facto dictator to ethnically cleanse and conquer Palestine.

I feel sick.

That's a lot of accusations. I hope you have the evidence to back it up. Wouldn't want to be called an antisemite would you?

I'm not anti-Semitic, and I hate Israel. They've become everything they claim to hate and oppose. Meanwhile, Germany has improved as a nation to become better people - though they should drop the whole self-guilt complex, but each nation has its baggage, and better self-guilt complex than racism and ethnic genocide.

I'm not a big fan of sending any money to any foreign country unless it's a loan and there's some expectation of getting that money back. We have plenty of people here at home who would benefit from even a fraction of what we send to other countries, and it smarts that much more when you find out it's going to countries that actively hate us.

What a surprise. My other Libertarian friend feels the same way.

It's the government's money and they can do what they want with it.

He's Libertarian. He no doubt thinks government should be abolished.
