(COMMENT)This report provides an overview of U.S. foreign assistance to Israel. It includes a review of past aid programs, data on annual assistance, and analysis of current issues. For general information on Israel, see CRS Report RL33476, Israel: Background and U.S. Relations, by Jim Zanotti. Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $127.4 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.

(COMMENT)(creation of Israel)
The 51st State of the USA will be~~
For all practical purposes, Israel is America’s 51st State. The US gives Israel 10’s of $billions of dollars each year and yet American Citizen’s did not vote for this.
What’s up?
This is a propaganda line used to provoke an emotion (stir trouble) from people that don't understand what the representatives in Washington do, and how the annual budget process works. In a very high percentage (≈ 90%) of the US annual budget is not voted-on by the general citizenry, but by the Senatorial and House Representatives. In some cases, it is done by diplomatic arrangements, but the Senate still must approve the Foreign Agreements:
P.L. 115-141, the FY2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act, provides the following for Israel:Don't confuse the meaning of "Foreign Military Financing." While some of is no the form of grants, some is in the form of loans. and loans to help countries purchase weapons and defense equipment produced in the United States
• Congressional Research Service www.crs.gov RL33222 •
• $3.1 billion in Foreign Military Financing, of which $815.3 million is for off-shore procurement;
• $705.8 million for joint U.S. - Israeli missile defense projects, including $92million for Iron Dome, $221.5 million for David's Sling, $310 million for Arrow 3, and $82.3 million for Arrow 2;
• $47.5 million for the U.S.-Israeli anti-tunnel cooperation program;
• $7.5 million in Migration and Refugee Assistance;
• $4 million for the establishment of a U.S.-Israel Center of Excellence in energy and water technologies;
• $2 million for the Israel-U.S. Binational Research & Development Foundation (BIRD) Energy program; and
• The reauthorization of War Reserves Stock Allies-Israel (WRSA-I) program through fiscal year 2019
(COMMENT)I think it is time for a national vote on this.
Either we bring in Israel as our 51st State and they pay their fair share or we stop the $billions in handouts.
How do you vote-?
Well, this is done to maintain the “qualitative military edge” (QME) in the defensive combat ca[[abiities over potential enemies throughout the region.
(COMMENT)This report provides an overview of U.S. foreign assistance to Israel. It includes a review of past aid programs, data on annual assistance, and analysis of current issues. For general information on Israel, see CRS Report RL33476, Israel: Background and U.S. Relations, by Jim Zanotti. Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $127.4 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.
Don't confuse "annual" FMS and the "cumulative" Defesne and Military Aid. While you did quote the 2016 CRS on Relations and how the Israeli relations with Regional Arab issues --- impact the relationship with the US. That political data is about four-to-five years old; --- the CRS on U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel (supra) puts a much more realistic view on the graeter issue of aid and some of the reasoning.

Indeed, that's an ignorant comment relative to Israel developing a world class economy.
Indeed, perhaps you could compare for us the GDP of Israel vs. that of Gaza'istan. I'll even allow you to include the welfare fraud that sustains the Islamic terrorist enclave of Gaza'istan.

After all, with what the PA and Hamas have been given or stolen from around the world, they could have had two very successful countries in Gaza and the PA territories.
If only they were about constructing a country and not destroying Israel and historical non Muslim places in the area, they would have had one heck of a tourism industry.
Instead, all one has are very "fat" cats in the Hamas, Fatah, PLO leadership living the life they could not lead had they done things honestly and legally.
Cheating and killing others is what is known as hard work and success with some Muslim Arabs.
A practice going on all the way back to Mohammad himself.
