    That’s still an order of magnitude more support for Israel than climate, which still supports my point about the administration’s priorities.

    I doubt we could meet our goals if we simply transferred Israel’s funding to climate, but I never claimed that.

        17.9 billion is an order of magnitude higher than 1 billion. Do you know how orders of magnitude work?

        Also… you didn’t quote anything? Here’s what I said:

        I’m under the impression that it would be a lot easier to improve things if the billions spent supporting Israel were instead spent on climate change mitigation.

        Easier. We do have to stop supporting Israel to meet our climate goals, but that alone will not be enough. We need to do way more than that. If I miscommunicated that I apologize.

          Edit: I’m not sticking around to discover how these arguments evolve again and again.
