Accurate except for the “instead” part. Road maintenance comes from local taxes, whereas military aid comes from federal taxes.

It’d be way more effective if the road pictured wasn’t absolutely perfect and pothole free
Please, not fixing potholes have been around longer than the current Palestinian/Israeli and also a completely stupid reduction of the complexity of this whole fucked up situation.
There's nothing complex about it. Israel imprisons an entire people and every time the UN tries to do something about it the US vetoes it.
The "it's complex" excuse is used to have people look the other way by turning it into a hopeless situation.
Love the false equivalence. Your city taxes can't fix the potholes because your federal taxes pay for a military.
Those federal taxes cannot be allocated to state funds which cannot then be allocated to city funds to maintain roads?
We send $5,000,000,000 in outright charity to Israel, not including what our legislators are about to fork over as soon as they get their stock portfolios situated in the best ways to profit from it.
That's $100,000,000 per state that could be used to fix potholes or help Americans in other ways, but we're silly geese who 100% support neglecting our own people in favor of war, so we're getting what we voted for.
Isn't this a photoshop? Boring Dystopia is a lot more poignant when the content it shows has some reality to it.
While the point the image is trying to make does have quite a bit of reality behind it, the shopping is to its detriment.
All children in Gaza are terriosts! Or potential terriosts! Isreal NEEDS to bomb ambulances, hospitals and water wells because that is where all the terriosts are! ya see?Any amount of infrastructure supports terriosism! Bombing is a nessecity!
It's outright ghoulish.
"Anyone who runs is Viet Cong. Anyone who stands still is well disciplined Viet Cong."
Well, it‘s actually true that Hamas uses civil infrastructure and civilians as shields, you can’t deny that. Of course that doesn‘t mean that Israel can just bomb everything.
Who said this?
its a straw man, but only just, people more or less say this through implications when you hear "What else do you expect Israel to do"
Just put the babies in the potholes.
The u.s destroyed half my country, killed tons of my people, bought up the wreckage and now owns us. But none of you gave a shit, cause the news didn't tell you to care
And what country is that?
That's true for a lot of the states, let alone other extant sovereign nations.
