You really think they would give us more than 20 billion back? How are they going to continue having free healthcare then?
It’s more than $20B. Way more.
Over the last decade (2015–2025), the United States has provided Israel with approximately $70–80 billion 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.
Israel owes the US over 300 billion. Time for Israel to pay up.
Also the costs of the meaningless wars we've done for their sake. And maybe a down-payment for the next one with Iran.

Found it quite amusing Trump praising the Houthis
Trump said, "You know, we hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment. They took tremendous punishment. You can say there’s a lot of bravery there. It was amazing what they took."

20 billion? It’s way more than that. It’s over 300 billion for the past few decades. Just Google it.
310 billion dollars since the founding of Israel.

When you factor all the military conflicts that they've gotten us into and warfare we conduct at their beckoning, we're really talking about TRILLIONS of dollars of our taxpayer money
Bro what? You think oil man Bush's invasions of the Middle East were at Israel's beckoning?
In 1996 with Netanyahu, who wrote a book called Fighting Terrorism. Professor Jeffrey Sachs concisely summarizes the premise of the book:
"The thesis of the book is quite straightforward and very dangerous. He says, you know, there’s Hamas, there’s Hezbollah, they oppose Israel. It’s not good for us to fight them directly — that won’t work. What we need to do is topple the governments that back them. So what we need is regime change throughout the Middle East. And he actually gave a long list of seven countries that included Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, and Lebanon. And systematically, the United States has done Netanyahu’s bidding for almost 30 years now, going to war with every one of them — except for the big one that Netanyahu so much longs for, which is the war directly between the United States and Iran."
Coincidentally, General Wesley Clark had the exact same list of countries on his memo "We are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing it off with Iran"

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.
