The summary
➤ Since October 7, 2023, U.S. military aid to #Israel has surged to over $17.9 billion—the highest ever. Total U.S. spending on Israel’s war in #Gaza now exceeds $22 billion, as America drains its resources to fuel endless destruction.

➤ While innocent lives are lost in Gaza, billions flow to weapons, artillery, and missile defenses, propping up Israel’s military machine. Meanwhile, the U.S. pays an additional $5 billion to manage the regional chaos it helped create.

➤ The cost? Not just in dollars, but in shattered lives, lost sovereignty, and a growing humanitarian crisis that continues to be ignored.
