Why do we spend so much money on Israel?
Over my decades of military service, as the Deputy Commander of United States European Command and now as a security advisor, I’ve often heard people make this complaint.
The truth is we don’t spend enough. We should spend more. And for purely selfish reasons.
Every dollar we spend on Israel is a dollar spent, in effect, in our own defense. As a value proposition, it’s all in America’s favor.
Let me explain, but before I do let me say this:
I can easily defend why America supports Israel on moral grounds alone.
I’ve been there on numerous occasions. It’s a good and decent country. Given the neighborhood it lives in, I find that both remarkable and admirable.
But I will make this argument solely on the basis of America’s security.
Our partnership with Israel is unique.
Unlike most of our current treaty alliances — say with South Korea — our ties with Jerusalem are not premised on American troops serving as tripwires on Israel’s frontlines.
This is because Israel takes care of itself.
America, for good reason, remains wary of any further military engagement in the Middle East. And this only strengthens the case for giving Israel the tools it needs to defend its borders.
Here are three things we can do – again, all in our own self-interest.
First, the United States should front load its financial commitment to Israel.
We have agreed to provide Israel $38 billion in defense assistance over ten years. That’s a big number, but it’s also a great deal – for America.
In addition to giving Israel the financial wherewithal to purchase the weapons it needs, it also benefits the American economy. Under the agreement, Israel must spend these funds on U.S. products. And it’s happy to do so. Without adding a cent to the total, the United States should “front-load” this assistance to reflect the changing strategic situation in the Middle East, specifically the rising danger presented by Iran and its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas.
An accelerated timetable would allow Israel to acquire critical capabilities like more F-35 air attack squadrons, more air refueling tankers and more precision munitions. It will need this hardware to defend itself and American interests against these persistent, and growing, threats.

Can we finally start recognizing the difference between Right wingers and conservatives???
This is what propaganda looks like
You forgot that Israel sells those weapons to China
1:05
LOL
Imagine what all that money can do for American healthcare, education, jobs, housing, and social services.
Can’t tell if he’s held hostage to make this
'Cause USA is Israel's b****. You do what they tell you to do unless oh no… antisemitic.
Somehow the worst Prager video
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what your country can do for Israel.
Hell needs a 10th circle for scumbags like this who try to convince taxpayers "Sending money to an expensive middleman is good for the economy because they buy stuff from us!"

Well, we will know who runs the US now 😂😂😂
Thanks to the Palestinians for exposing the truth and sorry it had to cost so many lives for the world to wake up
Broken window fallacy. If you GIVE away money, and then that same money is used to pay for YOUR goods/services, you are STILL TAKING A LOSS!
Your loss is the cost of production. PragerU knows better than this. If it was an American business getting $3.8 billion in tax dollars to buy American-made products, then PragerU would call it a scam.
Stunningly relevant to today.
Truth
"USS Liberty" and paying for there "Free Health Care"
❤
He argues that Israel has to buy US weapons with that money. Why? Why should Israel buy US landfill quality weapons? They are not worth it. It is simply subsiding US unqualified defense industry.
GIVE ISRAEL A LOAN AND LET IT PAY IT BACK WITH THE SAME INTEREST AS ALL OTHER COUNTRIES! LET THE JEWISH BANKERS IN THE US PAY THE INTEREST!
For perspective:
Wald, director and senior advisor to the Aerospace & Defense Industry for Deloitte LLP, is responsible for providing senior leadership in strategy and relationships with defense contractors and Department of Defense (DOD) program executives.
