Why does Israel need 10.41 million dollars per day from the United States?

[Confounding]

It seems to me that we kinda need that money. Not just Israel either. Why do we give away something like 100 billion a year to other nations?

Memorandum on the New 10-Year $38 billion U.S. Aid Package to Israel

Starting in 2019, the U.S. will give Israel $38 billion over the next 10 years – $3.8 billion per year, which is $10.41 million per day.

To confirm to themselves we’re still in their pocket

Israel is a wealthy nation and the extremists don't pose anything close to an existential threat. They don't need our money.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I agree. We shouldn't be giving aid to ANY country except in times of extreme disasters

99% of US Aid to Israel is in the form of military aid. Those checks go straight from the treasury into the accounts of Grumman, Lockheed, and Raytheon.

Having Israel use American arms is a celebrity endorsement that boosts US arms sales to the rest of the world.

Helps them buy WMD from USA.

You're really not convincing me that charity to Israel should continue.

Its for this reason.
In order for Christ to return, Jews must control Israel.

Should America still be in NATO?

The money used to go to Israeli contractors. I believe Obama changed that, but still a chunk of it goes to them. Either way its free money.

That's right.
It's a subsidy/USA jobs program/endorsement for OUR defense contractors.

Looks like 2/3 goes for the F35 alone.

***
Not to mention the on-ground local intelligence, and combat usage/improvements Israel makes to all weapons they get from the USA.
It's a testing ground and has been so against, ie, Russian Migs for 50 years.

IOW, a very small and useful addition to our $700 Billion defense budget.

It's funny to me that it's mostly conservatives that want us to support Israel. What happened to personal responsibility? If Israel wants more stuff it can earn it itself. No handouts.

This conservative is in favour of defence spending.

Its just crazy how we have OUR HARD EARNED MONEY sent overseas. A lot fo times it is to enemies and even terrorists.
And it adds to debt.
Washington is a cesspool of bitchery
