And the amount of ‘aid’ we send Israel is a drop in the bucket of what we send the terrorist networks Hamas , Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq and yes…..even the oil-rich nations of the UAE! Obama started ISIS…….

The vast majority of foreign aid to Israel comes right back to the United States. RE: military aid, Israel is oft called the largest American aircraft carrier in the Middle east.

Yes, military aid goes in the pockets of the rich corporations who make bombs, planes, tanks, guns, drones, missiles, etc. The US government takes it from taxpayers and splits it up with rich corporations and foreign nations. And it's really not money, because we have none. It's just hot-off-the-press currency not backed by anything.

If the modern Israel state is blessed by God and raking in the cash growing food (and they are very successful in the tech industry), then why do they need the broke United States to buy their weapons? Would they be more geared toward peace if we weren't loading their guns for them? I don't believe we do it for Israel; we do it for the arms dealers who know how to lobby (pay off) Congress.

Why does ANY nation need our help?

But if ANY nation deserves it, Israel does. The people gives the world far more in return than any nation has ever given them.

The neediest nation I know of and the most deserving is the United States. Do you know the U.S. has people living on the streets, cities overrun with crime and drugs, senior citizens who can't afford food and medicine, and children who are being trafficked? On top of that, the president is senile, the government is crooked, and doctors are giving lethal injections without telling their patients what's in them.

Flipping the question: if you were Israel already making lots of money, would you still say no to the US offering to provide you with weapons for free?

If Israel were I, then yes, I wouldn't take them. But if I am Israel rather than being myself, I'd be wanting to use OPM (other peoples' money) so I could keep mine. You know, the love of money really is the root of all evil.
