US Aid to Israel

Monetary aid

Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid

As of 2023, the United States has provided Israel $158 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. From 1971 to 2007, Israel also received significant economic

assistance.

Since October 7th - The House passed a bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel as it fights a war against Hamas

Israel special privileges with the US

US-Israel tax treaty - Private donations to most foreign countries are not usually tax deductible, but American Jews have sent an additional $2 billion tax deductible dollars per year to Israel because of our US-Israel tax treaty with Israel.

Privileges in the FMF program - Under the FMF program it is required for countries receiving US military aid to spend all of the money here in the US, but Israel is the only country that gets a special rate demotion clause that allows Israel to send just $1 of every $4 in the US. Israel is also able to draw down the grants then in order to reduce the amount of interest it owes the US.

Unaccountability with US aid - Israel is the only country that receives economic aid that does not have to report how its spent.

Loan guarantees for US banks - They also get loan guarantees which allow them to borrow money from commercial banks at lower rates.

Receiving aid upfront - Israel gets their money usually upfront, whereas other countries receive it in quarterly installments. Israel is able to make interest off the unspent money until it’s used up. Since the US runs budget deficits, giving all that money upfront requires the US to borrow the money which costs US taxpayers an additional $70 million per year. Then, American taxpayers end up paying Israel more interest when Israel reinvests the unspent portion in US treasury bills. Israel earns about $300 million per year in interest off loans we give them.

Sharing of US weapons technology

Israel doesn't need to pay for advanced military warfare systems from the US and they are exempt from paying the license to reproduce some of these systems within their own military industry.

Israel is the first international operator of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Department of Defense’s fifth-
generation stealth aircraft, considered to be the most technologically advanced fighter jet ever made.

Of course, we can’t forget about the Wikileaks emails from Hillary Clinton’s inbox that show a plan to overthrow Assad in Syria in an effort to pursue the security of Israel.

Aid to Israel's allies

Annual Billions to Egypt - In 1978 Omar Sadat the president of Egypt and the prime minister of Israel begins to sign the camp David accords. In February 1979 the shah is forced to take a vacation to Egypt and never return to Iran. A month after the revolution in Iran, where upon Iran nationalized their oil, Israel, with the U.S. signs a peace treaty with. The U.S. will pay Egypt Billions annually and modernize their military. Egypt will close the Suez Canal to Iran and leave it open to the Israelis. Israel receives twice as much aid, meanwhile Palestine is colonized and ruled under Israel's racial apartheid. 

The money we send to Egypt and Jordan, which are number 2 and 3 in recipients of US foreign aid, is to protect Israel and is mainly an incentive for a peace agreement and good behavior between the countries.

Resolution 46/86: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_3379 was raised under pressure from the United States, and American president George H. W. Bush personally introduced the motion to revoke Resolution 3379 with the following statement:

UNGA Resolution 3379, the so-called "Zionism is racism" resolution, mocks this pledge and the principles upon which the United Nations was founded. And I call now for its repeal. Zionism is not a policy; it is the idea that led to the creation of a home for the Jewish people, to the State of Israel. And to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and, indeed, throughout history. To equate Zionism with racism is to reject Israel itself, a member of good standing of the United Nations. This body cannot claim to seek peace and at the same time challenge Israel's right to exist. By repealing this resolution unconditionally, the United Nations will enhance its credibility and serve the cause of peace.

The question of whether Zionism is Racism answered by Bushie with "they suffered in WW2!"
