The Trump administration said states and cities will not receive funding to prepare for natural disasters if they choose to boycott Israeli companies.

Let’s compare Israel to a state, let’s say Michigan. Michigan has slightly more people, a slightly higher GDP, and thus slightly higher GDP/capita.
By all accounts Michigan feeds it’s money back into the U.S. economy, because well it’s in the U.S.
Why does it seem like Israel has more support than Michigan? That country China, that everyone bitches about here saying they are our biggest threat… Does twice as much trade with Israel than the U.S.
If Israel can import Chinese products without paying the U.S. government tariffs,
maybe Michigan should be able to as well. After all, the federal government is paying far more money to support Israel than it is Michigan.
Then that’s the answer.
US annexes Israel and makes it a US state.
Gaza - Returns to Egypt, Israel doesn’t get it. Hamas doesn’t get to rule it.
West Bank - Becomes internationally recognised as the nation of Palestine.
That is actually an excellent idea.
Fuck Canada, Israel should be the 51st State
