You support them in things like the UN, which we already do. I don't need to give them my tax dollar to support them.
I have tremendous outrage when it comes to the US giving money to any country unless it is humanitarian. I have much more dislike of Mexico and China than I do Israel. Mexico and China actually cost americans jobs and Israel just sucks up my tax dollar.
As for public schools, they are underfunded because I am sending billions that should be going to public schools to countries like Israel, who should raise their own taxes, not take my money. As for your other comments, I don't like money being wasted at all, but I rather have it wasted on my country than another country like Israel or Egypt.
