[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't Trump demanding some kind of repayment deal from Israel the way he did to Ukraine?[/quote]

You really think they would give us more than 20 billion back? How are they going to continue having free healthcare then?[/quote]

It’s more than $20B. Way more.

Over the last decade (2015–2025), the United States has provided Israel with approximately [b]$70–80 billion[/b] in financial aid, primarily focused on military assistance. This figure includes:

- Foreign Military Financing (FMF): Around $45.4 billion, with an annual allocation of approximately $3.8 billion under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering fiscal years 2019–2028. This MOU commits $33 billion in FMF grants and an additional $5 billion for missile defense programs over the decade.
- Missile Defense Funding: Approximately $6–7 billion, supporting systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow programs. This includes $500 million annually for joint U.S.-Israel missile defense projects as part of the 2016 MOU, plus additional appropriations.
- Supplemental Aid: A significant $26.38 billion in supplemental funding, notably a $14.3 billion emergency aid package passed in April 2024 following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and additional allocations like the $4 billion expedited by the Trump administration in 2025.
- Other Costs: A Brown University report estimates at least $17.9 billion in military aid since October 7, 2023, alone, including arms sales, stockpile drawdowns, and munitions like 2,000-pound bombs. This figure is considered incomplete due to limited transparency.

FYI this money is spent on US defense contractors. US is the world's largest war profiteer. [/quote]

Everybody (Republican and Democrat alike) loves this corrupt scheme except one important group, the U.S. taxpayers paying attention and footing the bill.

The whores in Congress love it because they can convert the kickbacks from AIPAC and other pro-Israel goons into personal wealth, somehow magically avoiding prison in the process!

Israel loves it because FREE STUFF!

Defense contractors love it because they have guaranteed life-sustaining revenue in this perverse war industrial complex!

The stakeholders in those defense contractors love it because DIVIDENDS and favorable DEBT RESTRUCTURING!

And the losers who cheer the loudest love it because craven, racist, misanthropic weirdos who only care about themselves are in abundant supply, apparently.

That leaves U.S. taxpayers who aren’t clueless, who oppose our corrupt foreign policy, and who have had enough of watching the bully cry out as a victim.[/quote]
