There is an inexplicable level of difficulty in getting people to even consider the Israel problem, even among those who agree that the United States needs to stop spending the money it does in foreign aid and military intervention. They freeze up, shut down, or get defensive when Israel is mentioned. There is no greater example of American idolatry of Jews than the recent incident with Ilhan Omar. She has been disrespectful of America since taking an office whose primary responsibilities involve ensuring the well-being of Americans. She was disrespectful of America since her appointment to a committee who primary responsibilities involve ensuring positive outcomes for America in its dealings with the rest of the world. None of this was a problem, apparently. It wasn't until her supposed disrespect of Jews that action was taken against her.
It's one thing to help pay for an experimental anti missile system that you will also use, it's one thing to even lease land for your own military base and help cover the cost of joint exercises or pay for facilities you use.
It's another thing to just outright fund a foreign country's military regardless of how close an ally we are. It's retarded when we do it with Ukraine and it's retarded when we do it with Israel.
The only thing I could say would be a good idea is if we gave the Israelis loans. Not aid. Israel is one of the few governments that is actually quiet fiscally and monetarily sound. If we gave Israel loans for things, at least we could make some money off of it.
Yes. The aid is a giant waste of American money that profits politicians and weapons manufacturers. Removing American aid just makes Israel have less free defense spending.
In fact, regular international aid impoverishes countries.
In all reality, Israel would probably benefit more by cutting foreign aid.

We do give them loans, they are just forgiven immediately. Can't remember where the article I read about this was
I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm actually talking about loans that they actually have to pay and shit.
Would they still be without all the aid?
Yes. The aid is a giant waste of American money that profits politicians and weapons manufacturers. Removing American aid just makes Israel have less free defense spending.

It's actually had significantly less inflation that we have in the US, and the US's inflation isn't nearly as bad as Europe.
Basically, it's doing about as well as you could hope for, with a Keynsian economic policy, while also being not directly tied to the Petro-Dollar.

America is an israeli goy farm
