        What % of Israel’s budget do you think the US gives them?

        Of that % how much do you think is tied to purchases of American weapons?

          Apparently the US gives military grants that amount to about 16% of Israel’s total military budget. That’s kind of a lot, if I’m reading it correctly.

            IIRC it’s a bit less than that, something like 3b of 36b.

            To allow the US easy access to intelligence, operational bases and feeding the military industrial complex, that’s really not a ton of cash for the US…
