Fair enough I guess but when i see stats like this.
In fiscal year 2017 (October 1st, 2016 to September 30th, 2017), the U.S. government allocated the following amounts for aid: Total economic and military assistance: $49.87 billion. Total military assistance: $14.77 billion. Total economic assistance: $35.10 billion, of which USAID Implemented: $20.55 billion.
I'm like.. Can't we give some US citizens something with that cheddar?
I dunno seems a bit much.
while i agree entirely, its fair to point out it's not a 1 way street. Israel has agreements to purchase weapons and tech from the US govt, and also does ground work in surveillance and espionage that they give us for "free" in return for that aid.
Now what the price tag would be for the US to do the legwork on the surveillance? idk. but its worth pointing out because even recently the US has gotten tips that have saved lives domestically and abroad from Israel, terror cells and such they've identified and located for us.

shame on you for not doing research and finding out the truth wake up sheep
"everyone who disagrees with me simply hasnt done enough research", the mantra of the ever devolving conspiracy theorist's mind.
its funny that the idea that people simply dont buy what you did hasnt even crossed your mind. how could it? that sliver of doubt might shred the whole ball of yarn.
