Israel is a very wealthy nation. Do they need us to fund them? Can’t they simply purchase arms from us? Isn’t the “aid” we give them more coercive anyways?

You only end up funding both sides anyway.. It’s dumb.

Agreed.

And I do not favor sending any taxpayer money to any other countries. Even “loans” to other countries are often never paid back.

How can Congress justify giving our money away when we’re trillions in debt?

Yeah, it’s be preferable for them to purchase the arms from us.
