I know, they like it the other way around! and many of us see it that way and don't like it one bit.
How many times do I need to explain simple economics to you?
1.Most of the money Israel is given is in the form of loans that Israel never failed to pay.
2.The lower prices on equipment that Israel acts as another way to enlarge the military budget without it going through the regular channels, do you really think that the American weapon industry can rely only on the purchases of the American military? Selling to allies is a huge income and keeps the industry alive, even if at times it's at a lower price than the "regular" price.
3.I'm not sure but from time to time the US forfeit one of the loans it gives Israel but those sums of money are negligible, you're talking about a few Billions here and there, Israel is only 7million people , their needs are similar to that of a large city, but the trade/technological/weapons/strategic benefits far out weighs those few Billions. Did you miss all the Trillions that flew around during the bailouts? A Billions Dollar was for pussies....those sums are nothing in the scale of the US government.
Got it? Oh forget about it, we know that you support the rocket fire over civilian population....fucking pitiful.
