How do we all feel about the money we give Israel?
I don’t see it mentioned often.
I don’t think Israel needs it, particularly because there are usually strings attached. They/we benefit more from technology sharing. I think it would be healthier if it were limited to things like that.
My understanding is that the stipends we send date back to President Carter, who coerced them into giving up the Sinai peninsula after 15 years, offering regular foreign aid as recompense.
America bribes Israel to stop Israel from taking the steps to halt the Muslim war on it. It started as part of the price for cheap Arab oil.
Now it’s just a sop to the American defense industry, where almost all of that money ‘to Israel’ actually ends up.
