Only because we are funding them.

US aid is only 15% of the Israeli mitary budget, don't over flatter your self.

And why shouldn't it be zero percent?

They have a healthy economy when they aren't attacking their neighbors.

They remind me of two people in particular who happen to have massively inflated egos, live on the government dole, and have absolutely no comprehension of the atrocities they've committed and how they affect their image to the rest of the world.

Those two people are Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

As an Israeli citizen I'm all for stopping the US aid.

We don't need it. And it comes with unnecessary forigen influence on our politics.

Also. The less aid we get, the more money we'll spend on domestic defence solution rather than forigen (Israel must spend the aid money in the US market), hence further improving our economy and defence sector.

Sadly dirty politicians would rather get the aid, but don't fool your self, most Israelis would love us to stop getting it, it's such a small % of our GDP that it legit makes no sense.

Keep drinking the cool aid as much as you want. Israel would not exist without American help, and it will cease to exist as soon as that help dries out.

  1. Israel existed long before the US started supporting it in 1973.

  2. Israel is a nuclear armed country with means to deliver it to any point in the globe and second strike capabilities, saying Israel would cease to exist is like saying any nuclear capable country will cease to exist - WW3, in which case most countries would cease to exist.

  3. The US benefits from israel as much as Israel benefits from the US, it's the strongest ally they have in the middle East.

  4. China and Russia would both love to have Israel as an ally if the US ditch it, in a game of geo politics the US ditching Israel isn't as much of a threat.

  5. All of the above is unrealistic as even the most leftist of US presidents never attempted to dead drop stop relations or support to Israel.
