We get back more than we spend most of it is sent back to America to buy military weapons. They immprove our weapons and share those improvements with us for free.

It deserves a real answer.

Here’s the truth: It’s the best investment the US government makes.

Most of that $3.8 billion must be spent on American-made military equipment.

That’s not charity — it’s a subsidy for our own defense industrial base.

Israel’s largest purchases flow to Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and General Dynamics.

The F-35 program alone — which Israel was the first to use in combat — supports 290,000 American jobs, generates $72 billion in annual economic output and has produced a $173 billion order backlog.

Israel’s real-world combat testing fixed critical glitches engineers couldn’t replicate in a lab, contributing to over $40 billion in export sales.

Then there’s the value of Israel’s intelligence assistance.

The intel Israel provides would cost America “five CIAs” to produce independently, US Air Force Gen. George Keegan estimated decades ago — and that has only compounded since.

The National Intelligence Program budget was $82 billion for fiscal year 2026; even attributing a fifth of that to CIA-equivalent operations, you’re looking at a return that dwarfs a $3.8 billion investment many times over.

Israel also shares daily operational lessons from every American weapons system it fields, saving an estimated 10 to 20 years and potentially billions in research and development.
A single Gerald R. Ford-class carrier costs $13 billion to build and up to $8 million per day to operate — and experts have assessed that Israel’s military effectively replaces multiple US aircraft carriers and ground divisions across the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf.

That’s without a single permanent US soldier stationed there, while in Europe we spend $25 billion to $30 billion a year to station 80,000 troops.

Israel’s June 2025 air offensive against Iran — featuring 200 US-made F-35s, F-16s and F-15s — was the most consequential live demonstration of American air superiority in a generation.

It exposed the vulnerabilities of Russian and Chinese air defenses, tilted the global balance of power in Washington’s favor and became the best sales pitch Lockheed Martin could ever ask for.

Beyond defense, Israeli firms are the second-largest source of foreign listings on NASDAQ, and Israeli investment in the United States has tripled to nearly $24 billion.

In New York alone, 600 Israeli-founded companies generated $19.5 billion in output last year and supported 57,000 jobs; bilateral trade tops $49 billion.

Investment choices are usually made by the person doing the investing. If Israel needs money then you should setup a charity and ask for donations just as is done for many other causes.

Taking US taxpayers money and not spending it on Americans is (we were told) something Trump was opposed to when he put an end to all that US overeas aid.

Furthermore investments are expected to yield +ve returns, I know of few people in your coutry who's retirement will be more comforable because of this "investment" in Israel, in slaughter, in genocide.

You need to register as a foreign agent because that's precisely what you are, a fake American patriot leeching off the backs of the American people.

You disgust me, the Zionist regime wants to slaughter and destroy and invade and you actually want the American people to contribute to that by handing over their hard earned money? I thought you were opposed to socialism, looks like I misjudged you.

Wny not lobby congress to introduce an Israel Tax and be done with all the cloak and dagger BS?

Facts are facts Israel costs us nothing in fact we benefit. How much would a nuke exploding in Wash DC cost. Now thats not going to happen.

As I said even if true (it isn't) the investor usually has the choice so to what to invest in, otherwise its called tax not investment.

You've convinced yourself (because like all magats you embrace conspiracy fantasies) that Iran wants build nuclear weapons so it can bomb some targets and then get bombed back even more because it wants to get bombed!

Only a truly deluded man would actually embrace such a stupid belief, you once claimed that Jews have the greatest intellects and the highest IQ and claim to be Jewish yourself, so what the **** happened in your case?

Israel also shares daily operational lessons from every American weapons system it fields, saving an estimated 10 to 20 years and potentially billions in research and development.

In 2021, the Pentagon formally moved Israel into US Central Command — institutional recognition that the Jewish state was America’s strategic anchor in the Middle East.

That’s a crucial benefit in a region that sits atop 48% of global oil reserves and straddles the shipping lanes between Asia and the West.

Now here’s the part the podcasters can’t engage with, because it requires actually understanding the region.

Political strategists on both the conservative right and the progressive left agree that the US must urgently shift its military resources from the Middle East to the Pacific.

But there’s only one way to do that without ceding the region to Moscow or Beijing: building a coalition capable of defending itself, under American leadership.

And Israel has repeatedly demonstrated its worth as the key to that coalition.

Israel has a permanent structural alignment with American interests.

It fights its own wars.

We may have to, since we've destroyed the rest of our relationships around the world.

47 years as Leader of the Free World, and all of our soft power, are down the toilet. If Israel will at least talk to us, that'll be really neat.

It’s as if Americans supported the Holocaust during WWII.
