A massive beachhead, forward supply base, and (effectively) unsinkable aircraft carrier in a critical area.
It's not our aircraft carrier. Israel puts Israel First.
The arguably fourth most powerful world military that does its dirty work.
What Israel does against the Arabs, it does for itself.
If we were neutral, the Arabs wouldn't be our enemies. We wouldn't "need" Israel to do any "dirty work" for us.
A human spy network in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and former Soviet Union,...
I don't trust the U.S. Deep State -- why should I trust Israel's Deep State?
Israel's intel might be good, but it's biased. Israel assured us Saddam was close to creating a nuclear bomb, thus enticing us into war with Iraq. Israel was either wrong, or they lied.
Israeli intel has been saying that Iran is "six months away from creating a nuclear bomb" for nearly 20 years now. Thank God we're ignoring Israel on that.
And most importantly to your military industrial complex, the military aid comes with the string that Israel not develop certain weapon systems...
Israel ignores "strings" whenever it's not in their interest. I recall a news story long ago about how Israel was re-selling U.S. tech to Red China, despite "strings" that they couldn't do it.
It’s far less than expended on Japanese and Korean security...
It's not either/or. We should end all foreign aid, no exceptions.
It’s also the exact same amount of money as given to Arab nations.
I doubt that. If Israel's enemies benefit as much from our aid as does Israel, then Israel would have no objection if we ended aid to all countries. But it would object, because Israel knows it benefits far more.
But it's not either/or. We should end all foreign aid, no exceptions.
And now less than your taxpayers have burned up in Ukraine...
It's not either/or. We should end all foreign aid, no exceptions.
“It’s also the exact same amount of money as given to Arab nations.
I doubt that”
And you are wrong. Dollar for dollar the same.
