The reason I think we should stop all support to Israel is that they are illegal immigrants and never paid for almost any land.
Like Netanyahu, they are mostly from Poland and Russia, and of Turkic descent.

Alright.
To whom should payment have been made?
To the prior owners?
OK
Do they have a deed?
Yes, the Palestinians have registered ownership of all the land.
That is because the Ottoman Empire needed records so they could know who to tax.
The problem is after Menachem Begin blew up the British peacekeepers in the King David Hotel, then Irgun, Stern, and Lehi started massacring native villages like Deir Yassin.
So then millions of Palestinian fled the violence, to Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, and Israel has never allowed them to return to their homes.

The Palestinian right of return is the political position or principle that Palestinian refugees, both first-generation refugees (c. 30,000 to 50,000 people still alive as of 2012) and their descendants (c. 5 million people as of 2012), have a right to return and a right to the property they themselves or their forebears left behind or were forced to leave in what is now Israel and the Palestinian territories (both formerly part of the British Mandate of Palestine) during the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight (part of the 1948 Palestine war) and the 1967 Six-Day War.
The right of return was initially formulated on 27 June 1948 by United Nations mediator Folke Bernadotte. Proponents of the right of return hold that it is a human right, whose applicability both generally and specifically to the Palestinians is protected under international law. This view holds that those who opt not to return, or for whom return is not feasible, should receive compensation. Proponents argue that Israel's opposition stands in contrast with its Law of Return that grants all Jews the right to settle permanently, while withholding any comparable right from Palestinians. The government of Israel, and its supporters, state that Palestinian refugees do not have the right of return under international law.
There is also significant concern about the demographic impact of the return of 5 million Palestinians to Israel, whose population is nearly 10 million. Some Palestinians, including Yasser Arafat, have supported limits on the right of return to accommodate Israel's demographic concerns.

Having a legitimate owner is essential, but insufficient on its own.
For Israel to legitimately buy, the legitimate owner would have to be willing to sell.
I'm not sure that's going to happen. BUT !
In centuries past scorned minorities could be elbowed aside, outcast to no man's lands. Is there anywhere on Earth like that in the 3rd millennium?

It's not just weapons. It's things like bulldozers that are being used to destroy Palestinian homes.
And what happened?
And what happened?
Indeed.
That's a major portion of my reasoning for:
$Money is fungible.
And btw, the notion that "NEVER AGAIN" means only for benefit of Israelis, or Jews is a shocking, tragic misinterpretation.
That Israel / Jews are now the perpetrators compounds the horror.
