I recently learned that we give Israel 5 billion dollars every year that they are supposed to spend on military equipment from us, but they generally only spend about 500 million of that and then use the rest to buy bonds which they earn interest on the money we give them. The money is given as a grant so there are no stipulations to force them to use the money as intended. Most stereotypes are true. I imagine a lot of that money is funneled back into groups like AIPAC to control our politicians. I'm so glad we spend probably 100 billion a year on Israel when you count in all the money we give to Muslim countries in the region to play nice with them when people in Israel have a much higher standard of living than the average person in the US and they get free healthcare and all sorts of socialist programs.
