Israel, literally stolen land. Israel, literally the bankers that fund debt. Israel literally starting a war to expand their borders having already sold of the land they will be stealing.
That the Israel that needs money?
You should have them talk to a couple of Jews, they'll figure out a way to give them funny money.
For the sake of your sanity, don't use the stolen land argument. It's not technically wrong, it is legally wrong.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 181 (II), voting to partition Mandatory Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international administration. This plan proposed a Jewish state on approximately 55-56% of the land, which was accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders, leading to conflict.
The better argument is wtf are they giving away land that in 1947 we already knew what the result would be. We're they hoping for another Trail of Tears? In 1947 we already had enough historical record all over the globe to know this action was not going to end well. The action was morally wrong because we should have been wise enough to attempt to prevent the issues we see today.
Not sure how the UN vote is an argument against the 'stolen land' thesis. Does the UN have the legal right to give someone else's country away to a bunch of interlopers? Perhaps, certainly not the moral right - and let's be real, they don't even believe in the UN's legitimacy as they are now being criticized by it.
Furthermore, they didn't just take 55%. They took half the land set aside for the native population as well. Then they took the rest in 1967. Living space and all.
If russia is "annexing" ukraine, if china wants to "invade" taiwan, if america is a "colonized" land then i'm pretty sure israel is all of that and more.

That's my point. Lawfare in the history books.
