having america give them billions of dollars every year for free for absolutely no reason
There actually is a reason, not a good reason mind you, but there is a reason. Israel gets $3.3 billion dollars and Egypt gets $1.3 billion dollars as part of the agreement that Jimmy Carter brokered with the two countries. Now the world is very different today than in 1979, so in my opinion, the U.S. can stop paying both countries. But its incorrect to say "absolutely no reason".
...Is that it? Hate to say it, but for all the furore on here about American money going to Israel, I was expecting a bit more. A Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier costs about three times as much as that.
