No!!!

We have issues in this country that should be addressed!!! We have children who go hungry every day!!! Why do we have charities that raise money to feed hungry children while we are sending billions to foreign countries??? We need to butt out of Middle East issues!!!

I disagree. If you care about that money then you should understand that most money the US gives to Israel comes right back to the US. Israel buys things from the US using the money. That money can then be used to fix hunger.

Israel receives $10.6 million a day from the US. They are allowed to receive a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year and put it into an interest-bearing account to pay their debt. No other foreign country is allowed to do this. Why does Israel have this privilege? The US taxpayer has to pay the interest on our debt. That means our great-great-great grandchildren will bear this financial burden. This doesn't include the weapons and military aid we provide them separately. We provide Israel with weapons, they don't buy them from us... They are a welfare nation.
