“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.

1. The Camp David Accords said we'd give "dollar for dollar" economic aid to Egypt and Israel (despite Egypt's population being about ten times larger). But not "dollar for dollar" military aid.

2. The U.S. has often guaranteed Israel's "qualitative military advantage" over its neighbors. This means we sell the latest high-tech planes and weaponry to Israel. But merely guns and low tech stuff to the Arabs.

3. Even that is largely for Israel's benefit. The Arab kings and dictators use those weapons to prevent coups by Islamist extremists.

We shouldn't be funding the Arabs or Israelis. But don't tell me the funding is equivalent. If it were, Israel would have no objection to our ceasing all aid to both sides.
