Without our billions, chances are, Israel would be more successful as a country because Israel would not be depending on a Daddy. Israel is allowed the luxury to be a more or less socialist state because US bankrolls them. Without that support, Israel, having one of the world's greatest concentrations of brains and business, would not have dived into socialism and would be in better shape politically and economically than it is. Daddy should wean Israel of cash while, at least for a time guaranteeing her borderswith whatever military resources are necessary.
