Can someone explain why the US taxpayers give Isreal $3.5+ billion each year?

[GinNJuice]

I've also heard that the US guarantees loans to Isreal for several more billion a year.

Can someone explain why the taxpayers give Isreal that kind of money?

I'm not hating here, I just don't know the answer.

we have to. it's part of the camp david accords. we also give them all kinds of favorable loans with open ended payoff dates. of course they'll never pay off those loans, but we look the other way. i wish I got that deal.

Ok, then can you explain what these 'camp david accords' accomplish for this investment......... or explain why we just don't STOP giving them money today?

But why? Does the United States still believe that strongly in spreading "democracy?"

Maybe because Israel buys most of its military supplies from the US, BUT THAT IS WITH THE MONEY THEY BORROWED FROM THE US IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The Egyptians get an identical amount and I never hear anyone bitching about that.

It's military aid. We help out our client states, they do what they're told, and it's a nice bit of corporate welfare for the arms industry who are major campaign contributors. Picture a group of chimps all scratching an 800 lb gorillas back, and every now and then he throws them a few bananas.

Article below should be read by every American because it shows that Jews in government unite as Jews, not as Americans

No one bitches about the Egyptions because they are about 50 times the size of Isreal and do not stir up resentmenmt against America all over the world.

I love the way everyone brings up Egypt. It has nothing to do with why the US gives money to Israel. It is just distracts the issue.

I love that argument that America should timorously avoid the further disapproval of those who hate us already.

When 2 parties get 90% of US direct military aid and both get the same amount and both are neighbours who hate each other and both are key levers of American foreign policy in the area I think it's valid to mention them together when only one of them raises all these objections. Particularly when only one of them (Israel) gets any international critiscism for it's treatment of political dissidents. The Egyptians probably disappear and torture more people in a month than Israel has in it's entire existence.

But I'm just distracting from the issue, which is whatever 2Thick says it is.
