University Protests against the Israeli Incursion into Palestine

Really? I'm surprised to hear this. Do you have a source? 

Of course, "get by" could mean "simply survive," which -- I guess, maybe. But it would be a radically different country.

Israel's defense budget is about 15 billion USD. We give about $3.8b to them, though I don't know how they split that out. Even if every penny of American aid goes to the Israeli military, that's only 20+% of its defense budget. Also, much of that aid money is spent on American arms, which means that much of that is gifted weapons.

If we don't give that money, then perhaps they have less money for settlement expansions and so on which only make things worse in the region. I don't see that my tax dollars should be supporting a military that defends apartheid.

The trouble is that when America objects to Israeli policy, they still send money and weapons. 

That's kinda why -- in case you missed it -- I wrote "That's why I think we should not support them any more.'

Even during the recent attacks on Gaza, Biden is telling them to tone it down, while still sending them the weapons to keep it up.

Which support, in case you haven't noticed, I object to. It's almost like you're not reading what I write.
