Is it ethical for US to provide military aid to Israel when other countries are less wealthy and have a greater need for aid?

[Desperado]

The US should not be providing aid to any country until we take care of our own here at home. Remember America First!

Total U.S. aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the American foreign-aid budget, even though Israel comprises just .001 percent of the world's population and already has one of the world's higher per capita incomes. Indeed, Israel's GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. With a per capita income of about $14,000, Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world; Israelis enjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are only slightly less well-off than most Western European countries.

Is it ethical for US to provide military aid to Israel when other countries are less wealthy and have a greater need for aid?

Is it ethical to post phony all-or-nothing questions?

How so?

Is it ethical for US to provide aid to any country other than the one that is the least wealthy and has the greatest need for that aid? Yes or no?

It depends on what they are providing. In general, aid should be provided on an as needed basis. The need depends on the specific situation. Such as is there a dire and immediate need.

Providing military aid to a wealthy nation doesn’t fit the bill.

Israel pilots train in the USA so also we get the tourism dollars

Are any of those "less wealthy" countries surrounded by other countries that have sworn to wipe them off the face of the earth? Israel has a great need for aid because her neighbors have been attacking her non stop for decades. As our best ally in the Middle East Israel earns it's aid.

Israel has been our friend for seventy years. An isolated incident doesn't change that fact.

Yes it does....
Besides Im tires of the US fighting war for "Our Friend"
If it were not for Israel we would not be in the Mid East at all
How many Americans died fighting in those wars?
