you know, a support for Israel and no blank check.

Let's ask all the hard questions.

So last week we came out with a new position that's flared up a lot of interest, which is basically to say there's three pieces to the U.S.-Israel security relationship.

right the first piece is you know we you know we do operational cooperation on certain things when it's in our interest we should do that whether it's our militaries working together whether it's sharing intel which they do help us with with everything from isis to iran to all kinds of other challenges when it makes sense we can do that two basically they get four billion dollars a year from us right and have been for years and years and years and j street's position is

It's time for that to end.

It's basically a financial subsidy, right?

Yeah.

And there's no reason that they don't need this financial subsidy for anything anymore.

Israel at this point, it's a country with a per capita GDP similar to France or the UK or Germany or any of these very wealthy countries.

They don't need this money.

They have a $45 billion budget.

So let's just –

kind of phase that out relatively quickly.

And by the way, I'm not the only guy saying that.

Rahm Emanuel is saying that.

Bibi Netanyahu is saying that.

Lindsey Graham is saying that.

AOC is saying that.

It's one thing everybody agrees on.

It's time for that money to go.
