> And it's not actually tax payer money but freshly minted dollars that are created through debt

Minting dollars is a form of taxation (albeit one partially paid by foreign entities that hold dollars)

You mean they are funneling their citizens’ money into some private corporations, and killing a decent number of children while doing it?

Edit: they are helping to kill the children, they are not doing it themselves

This is the US devoting resources to do one thing, build things go bang abroad, instead of doing other things like building/renewing infrastructure or providing services to citizens. So, that is a cost. The question is what are the benefits. In Ukraine I can see that, in Israel it’s got a lot more messy.

That's some top tier clown economics.

Do you think the labor and resources that went into creating that materiel would vanish if it wasn't created? Like a missile is magic and conjures engineers and metal into existence just to fulfil its creation?

Oh and in fact leaves a little left over, the "profit", because thankyou for giving it some schools to obliterate?

What would we do if we weren't blowing people to bits huh, building theme parks or something instead - oh the waste! Think of the ~slaughter~... ahem, I mean the "economy"!

Nonsense. If the US instead just ordered $24B of military equipment and gave it to Israel would you still be calling it 'not a donation'? The two are equivalent.

Doesn't change the end result, but it paints a moral dimension on those who actively profit from the deaths of imprisoned civilians. The money goes into the pockets of the owners of mostly American defense contractors' owners, arms leave for conflict zones, and mostly civilians where Gaza is concerned get made homeless, injured, or flee for tent cities, only to be pushed around again.

Conflating Ukraine with Gaza is genocide-denial gaslighting.
