Two counterarguments:
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In an impassioned speech, Mr. Biden said that America must again act as a “beacon to the world,” and insisted that the needs of the people of Israel and Ukraine are vital to the United States’ national security interests.
That’s why tomorrow I’m going to send to Congress an urgent budget request to fund America’s national security needs, to support our critical partners, including Israel and Ukraine.
At a time when Congress is divided, the president said the United States "can’t let petty, partisan, angry politics get in the way of our responsibility as a great nation.
While Mr. Biden reaffirmed the United States’ intense commitment to Israel and the Israeli people, he also stressed the humanity of Palestinians who simply want peace.
Mr. Biden told reporters on the way back from Tel Aviv that “we’re going to get people out, and quickly” but said he couldn’t discuss details.
Mr. Biden said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi agreed to allow up to 20 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Rafa gate.
The original article contains 1,009 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
He should name one security argument of supporting “Isreal”.
A political system where the president can say whatever without an opposition is useless…
Tbf they’re mostly all crazy. Just some are better at hiding it than others.
Another counter argument:

5 Star General, former President, Dwight D. Eisenhower had this to say about the Military Industrial complex. It rings true today as much as it did in 1961
If we’re linking to the classics: Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler: War Is A Racket
Eisenhower was the main force behind building the Military Industrial complex.
It’s kind of like a drunken, pantsless party guest saying that there’s a bunch of shit and vomit in the bathroom, and that it will certainly be a problem, but they’re going home now, so you should clean it up.
Only instead of shit and vomit, it’s a bunch of rich assholes making money by killing poor people.
So is it somehow less true because he’s the one who shit and vomit everywhere?

He was kind of saying “there’s this thing I built that could make all of you really rich, but it’s kind of horrible, you should totally dismantle it instead of using it to get rich”.
When Eisenhower gave that speech in 1961, there were already people screaming about how the military industrial complex was horrific, how it would lead to endless wars, and how it would cause global suffering.
Is “American Security” going to pay off my student loan debts? How about my rent? How about for my medication this month?
No?
Then fuck off.
