Even Pakistan gets more financial & Military Aid from America than Egypt & Israel. But Israel does not survive on that Money, neither it cares about the money. It is taking the money just to do dirty work in Middle East, which it has to do till it finds a better & stronger friend. Nothing changes if you take the Aid or Not.

--------------------

Take your money back

03.31.10

Of the $3 billion handed over by the US annually, only $690 million are transferred to Israel in practice. The rest – 75% of the aid – remains in the US and constitutes an indirect government subsidy to US arms manufacturers – Boeing, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas etc. – thereby enhancing US employment. Only thing positive would be you dont have to read & listen to the crap from people like Friedman.
...

So take back the $690 million you gave us. We’ll do just fine without it. It comes out to about NIS 400 (roughly $120) per every Israeli citizen – most certainly not something that would bring us down. We don’t have to read claims about Jews and money in Friedman’s writing. We could hear them for free, for 20 years, at Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s sermons. ...
In the final analysis, I suggest that Israel renounce the small portion (25%) of US aid that flows directly to Israel, ensuring that all of the aid will be used for acquisitions at American plants and remain in the US to support american job growth.
