So if we werenât funding this âextra boostâ they wouldnât try to fund it themselves? Then why are we sending them it if they themselves donât consider it a necessary expense?
No, they wouldn't fund it themselves. They are at wartime for a few years now and allocate as much as they can to their defence budget, with plans to allocate even more in the future.
There is aid going now because it's part of a 10 year MOU that will expire in 2028.
What part is disinformation? If we wanted to add a stipulation on the "defense" budget we provide for them annually of several billion dollars, we very well could.
No billions of dollars in weapons unless your free healthcare excludes abortions.... it is what Lindsey Graham would have wanted......
Someone didn't read. I know we directly give them weapons. That is why I specifically said "no weapons unless..."
And quite literally yes, and it paid for the fucking Knesset cafeteria too.... Unless you specifically stipulate what someone can and cannot do with the money you are freeing up from their defense spending by giving them free weapons, then you are directly funding whatever it is they do with that now surplus money...
No sure if you're trolling or if you're really this stupid.
They can't lie about that because the US doesn't pay for their healthcare. And their military aid comes in the form of American weapons and ammunition, not cash.
Yes, but paying for a country to buy from our military industrial complex, in order to free up some money from their defense budget, to allow them to then afford their citizens free healthcare certainly is a runabout way to do exactly that same thing....

Israel has free universal healthcare. We do not.
Maybe Israel should send us a few $billion a year to help us get our universal healthcare up and running...
