Okay, if the US has to do the military work then why are they giving Israel so much aid in military packages?
Because that is what they do. They do the same stuff in China with the Triads there. The CIA loves to "divide and conquer" so that they gain control of nations and install governments that do their bidding. Much of that is related to increased military spending also and the so called "Military-Industrial-Complex". The business of war is lucrative by selling weapons to various countries as well.
Again it makes no sense in this case because Israel offers nothing in terms of financial or resource gain to the US and in reality it's the exact opposite. The US does all the spending and work but yet only Israel seems to benefit. Also, why only give Israel billions and billions when you could have given it to the other puppet governments they already had in place in the region? And this is not taking into account all the horrible things Israel has done to the US such as the USS Liberty incident.
It basically being done in diametric opposition to what Americas best interests are. Its being done to benefit the Zionists and their plans and the few sellout politicians who enable this current course of foreign policy.
That's exactly what I'm saying. When you just glance it or if your average person looks at the situation they really have no clue as to why the US does the things they do when it comes to Israel because they see the US get nothing in return for the things they do for Israel. But the more seasoned individual knows why and when you know the history of Zionism and the recognize the people who run institutions of influence within the US things start making sense.
OK I was curious about US foreign Aid so I have looked at the stats. Turns out that Afghanistan receives the most with 5 Billions. Israël is second with around 3 Billions.
The only reason Afghanistan has been getting any kind of foreign aid is because they not only bombed the country into smithereens but they also need the government there to stay in power so that the Taliban don't take over. Another thing to note is that if you were to add up all the money Israel has gotten compared to Afghanistan you would see that Israel blows it out of the water. Also, the 3 billion Israel gets isn't exactly 3 billion but more in the ball park of 14-16 billion (we can't have tax payers know that can we). "The United States has provided Israel with $233.7 billion in adjusted for inflation aid between 1948 through the end of 2012".
? It's very suspicious but you'll only see it if you let go of your ego.I see what you mean and I'm going to have to agree with you. With Afghanistan they need their opium, with Egypt they need their oil, and etc. However, with Israel it seems that the US scratches Israel's back but yet Israel never returns the favour.The only reason Afghanistan has been getting any kind of foreign aid is because they not only bombed the country into smithereens but they also need the government there to stay in power so that the Taliban don't take over.

Also, no one said the US doesn't give a shit ton of money to a bunch of other countries the question is why do certain countries that don't benefit the US in any shape and or form receive so much foreign aid
Because the US is trying to be the world's "saviour" as well as its "police". There is nothing suspicious about it its been like that since WW2. It's not a question of ego I have nothing to gain by taking Israel's side. You on the other hand is a Muslim who has a very biased POV due to your tie to the ME.Also, no one said the US doesn't give a shit ton of money to a bunch of other countries the question is why do certain countries that don't benefit the US in any shape and or form receive so much foreign aid
Trump and his daughter ivanka both use cheap overseas labor to produce their clothing lines. His threats are laughable at best when he hasn’t even bothered to rectify that situation first.
Indeed. Any investor expects returns on his investment, given that the one in question is pretty heavy. So while it may seem unclear now, the big "why" will soon reveal it self.
So returning to KF's original question..... what exactly IS the US getting of benefit from this one-way street foreign policy?
Just like the majority of US aid, which goes to Africa -- not much except satisfying its "White Savior Complex" like I said.
I respect your answer but I would contend the African nations (which receive much less than Israel) actually need it...... the US is being played.
I don’t really think it’s a white savior complex... I think it’s strategic “investment” - like a mobster greasing palms.
That aid is always attached with conditions. Not too long ago, Tanzania was threatened with loss of aid if they didn't pass a GMO bill, containing steep penalties.
Excellent point!
More like the US is playing itself when trying to come to aid people who survived the Holocaust, which in most people's minds was pretty horrific. No one is twisting their arm really there are just some Israelian lobbies that have some, limited influence.
The holocaust was creeping up on 100 years ago. Do you think the survivors still need support?
