WHAT WE GIVE ISRAEL
The standard US military aid package is $3.8 billion per year $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing plus $500 million for joint missile defense programs. Israel must spend most of this on US-made products and services, and by 2028 essentially all of it must be spent in America.
WHAT ISRAEL GIVES BACK
1. F-35 R&D Savings: 55 billion
Israel resolved multiple technical issues during the F-35’s early development, reducing US R&D costs by an estimated $55 billion and accelerating deployment timelines.  The total F-35 program cost was $55 billion in R&D Israel’s combat testing effectively saved the US from having to discover and fix those problems on their own dime.
2. Intelligence Value: equivalent to 5 CIAs (75 billion/year)
General George Keegan, former Chief of US Air Force Intelligence, stated that Israel’s intel value equals “5 CIAs” providing a 400% return on investment on the $3.8 billion aid package. One CIA budget runs approximately $15 billion.  Five times that equals roughly $75 billion worth of intelligence annually for $3.8 billion in aid.
3. Strategic Base Value: $15–20 billion/year
As stated by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and General Alexander Haig, Israel is the largest US aircraft carrier that does not require US military personnel on board, cannot be sunk, and is deployed in a critical region sparing the US the need to manufacture, deploy, and maintain real aircraft carriers with ground divisions, which would cost the US $15–20 billion annually. 
4. F-35 Export Multiplier: $40 billion in sales, $173 billion backlog
Israel’s battle-tested performance and upgrades to the F-35 contribute to $40 billion in US exports and a $173 billion backlog for US industry.  Israel essentially serves as the world’s most credible advertisement for American weapons.
5. Jobs and Economic Output: 255,000 jobs, $72 billion annually
The F-35 economic engine alone supports 290,000 US employees and $72 billion in annual economic output.  Israeli stakeholders hold contracts with over 1,000 American companies across 48 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.
Why do people need to lie about this?
Because they have nefarious reasons.
There’s no other reason to lie about this stuff.
@joeroganhq $55B in trade. 250000 jobs because of that $16.2B that goes right back into the US economy. Countless technological advances you use everyday. Megyn Kelly is either disingenuous or completely oblivious.
@ggreenwald@cenkuygur@hasanthehun Fomenting hate against Jews (anti-Zionism is just a new kind of anti-Semtism) is against the interests of the UK whether you like it or not.
@MOSSADil@MarioNawfal And there you have your explanation. Don’t let terrorists use hospital as staging grounds and ambulances as troop transports and they won’t get bombed.
"We stand with Gaza, and we say to you, America: We will drink your blood. We will finish you off. We will starve you. Allah Akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Victory to Islam!"
Bibi warned that for radical Islam, it’s Israel first and America next.
He was right.
There’s no doubt that Israel’s war in Gaza was not genocide. It is the least likely urban conflict in modern history to meet the standard legal definition of genocide.
And you don't have to take my word for it. Take the word of the High Level Military Group, the HLMG, which is a collection of all the of high level officers and generals from almost all the Western democracies in the world, not just the United States. These people aren't Jews. They have no connection with Israel. They're just generals in militaries around the world.
They wrote a report and a brief to the International Criminal Court, the ICC, saying that Israel’s civilian warning system is completely unlike anything any other country has ever been willing to do for the civilian population of an enemy in wartime. Under this system, Israel tells the civilian population of Gaza exactly where it will be striking the next day and then provides humanitarian corridors for them to leave those zones. They also say it is something our own democracies would never be able to do, because our civilian populations would never stomach endangering the lives of our own soldiers by warning the enemy where our sons and daughters will be.
Israel's unprecedented efforts to protect the lives of civilians in Gaza has taken a very heavy toll on the IDF. Over 800 Israelis have been killed in Gaza precisely because they warned the civilian population to get out of harm's way.
It’s strange watching old George Carlin clips now… because half the crowd laughed, and now people watch it in silence like he was reading the future out loud.
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Brandon Tatum on Israel:
"Israel was attacked by terrorists who beheaded people, killed 1,200 people, and kidnapped people into tunnels in Gaza, yet people blame Israel. Israel is defending itself against attempted genocide."
He's 100% correct.
@MatNuclear@marklevinshow@mehdirhasan He’s the gaslighting king. The second you start talking he will try to interrupt, obfuscate, deflect, project. I thought you and @nick_matau laid the smack-down on poor Glenn.
