What the first search did return, on the other questions
The card's claim is about what the United States sends, and that question came back empty. These questions did return material. It is reproduced word for word so nothing found is lost, and it is context rather than a position on U.S. weapons or money. Em dashes are rendered as hyphens to satisfy house style; no wording is changed.
### Characterization of the conflict * **March 11, 2024:** As a Monroe County Legislator, McIntyre co-submitted a resolution officially characterizing Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel as an "unprovoked war" and "barbaric assault". The resolution affirmed Israel's right to self-defense, called for the unconditional release of hostages held in Gaza, and described the conflict in terms of protecting innocent civilians against terrorism. * **September 27, 2019:** In public social media comments regarding the state of Israel, McIntyre expressed a faith-based support for Israel, writing, "I know that Israel is the Apple of God's eye. The Bible says so.!!".
