Israel & its allies have repeatedly tried to paint Israel as the underdog, defending itself.
Let's look at this:
Palestine. Population approx 5m, $20bn GDP approx.
versus some of the most militarised countries in the world.
In 2024, the government of Israel allocated approx $30.5bn to its military budget.
In 2024 the Defense Appropriations Act provided $825bn in total funding for the US military.
In August alone the US sent more in arms to Israel than Palestine's entire GDP.
