    Food stamps for the needy? Bad!

    Bomb stamps for a genocidal regime? Good?

    If welfare queens exist, then Israel is the ultimate welfare queen. Just sucking up money and never becoming a productive member of the world.

      I’d argue they’re welfare fraudsters rather than welfare queens. They’ve got tons of money, most of the tech industry is connected to Israeli engineering. They’re just also constantly getting even more money so they don’t need to spend as much of their own money. Always best to waste someone else’s money.

        “Welfare fraudster” is exactly what “welfare queen” means, and is why the term is so offensive.
