"President Donald Trump on Friday requested a 10% cut in non-defense discretionary spending for fiscal 2027 and a massive $500 billion increase in defense spending, as the United States continues its war against Iran."

Based on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal released in early April 2026, the overall US federal education budget is proposed to decrease."The Budget requests $76.5 billion in discretionary budget authority for ED for 2027, a $2.3 billion or 2.9-percent decrease from the 2026 enacted level."

On the other hand,"The Knesset approved the largest state budget in Israel’s history early Monday morning, growing the defense budget to unprecedented levels amid the war with Iran and sending billions of shekels to Haredi educational institutions and other priorities of the governing coalition ..."

According to the TIMES OF ISRAEL, published on 30 March,2026, "Smotrich called the defense package the “core” of the wartime budget, adding that it would allow Israel to “dramatically improve our geopolitical and diplomatic standing” and “dismantle and rebuild the Middle East.”
“ This budget enables the state to win,” said Smotrich. " That means, Israel would be the only beneficiary of the unstable Middle-East and if Iran gets defeated in the war.Then where is the place for America? Bitter to say but the truth is- " runner-up'' position. This is absolutely not a good sign to the dignity of the US as it is counted as topper till now on the paper-sheet.
Here one key difference between the budgets of the US and Israel is not hard to notice - the education sector. Whereas the US Govt. wants to less contribute to its education with giving priority on math and improving reading for American students,Israel sending billions to Haredi Institutions contrary . Now my dear readers, how many of you know about Haredi Institutions?...Well,these private institutions, primarily in Israel and Europe, promote religious law (Halakha) and separation from modern, secular culture in order to preserve their traditions. More specifically,Haredi educational institute is a Jewish faith-based school for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Communities,focused on Torah and Tahmud study rather than secular subjects like English and math.
It is so funny discriminative fact that the US is always against the Islamic rules and culture in Iran and wants to see the secular Govt. there on the one side; on the other side, it is going hand in hand with Israel, which is a religiously biased country. The US Govt. wants to be liberal and stop antisemitism in its education sector, but Israel looks for booming Jewish education (semitism) for its country. Israel's kind of bias will affect not only Muslims, but also Christians.
On Easter Sunday,April 5,2026, an Israeli strike on the Christian town of Ain Saadeh,east of Beirut killed a Christian political official and his wife ..The victims were identified as Pierre Moawad, a local official from the Lebanese Forces party, and his wife, Flavia, including an unidentified woman. ( Source :https://www.globalbankingandfinance.com/israeli-strike-kills-christian-party-official-lebanon/ ) The incident occurred as Lebanese Christians celebrated Easter Sunday with prayers and solidarity, amid heavy fighting between Israel and Hezbollah
Interestingly,while In a separate incident from October 2024, the Israeli military apologized for killing three Lebanese soldiers,yet it has not apologized for this strike. Instead, Israeli authorities, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, promised to keep attacking Hezbollah following intensified bombardments during the holiday, with no acknowledgement of wrongdoing for the widespread damage reported .(Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-says-least-16-dead-israeli-strikes-eastern-town-2026-03-07/ )
Now let's go back to the Passover massacre of 27 March,2002. It was a suicide bombing carried out by Hamas at the Park Hotel in Netanya,Israel during a Jewish festival known as 'Passover Seder'. The then US President George W. Bush condemned the attack as a "callous, cold-blooded killing" and stated it "must stop". He also pressurized on Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat regarding this.
These are just a little bit examples where it is clearly visible that the US and the Christian Community have one sided love for Israel and for the Jewish people whereas Israel has almost zero feelings for them.The ongoing triangle war between Iran and Israel-US making weak both Iran and the US except Israel. You may ask -but Israel is also under the attack. Yes dears, I agree...but at the same time, do some measures on who is losing more.No matter if Iran wins or looses, it is already exposed to the world that the 'Superman' image of America is ruined through this war. This Therefore, a vacuum of super power has been created.Now who can fill up this gap?Any member from the Muslim countries ? Any member from the Christian countries? China? - Naaaah!...Why?...Let me explain...Muslim countries are living in the 20th century with their weak defense / weaponry system . The Christian countries are not poor in arms and forces ,but are not also as strong as Israel or the US. China is technologically advanced , has manpower but not has leadership quality. Then who is left ?
