Is U.S. military aid to Israel really exceptional?

The $3.3B in annual financing is highly visible. The costs of U.S. troops and bases abroad are less so.

My new paper compares these security commitments and the benefits they provide.

A new report from the Misgav Institute by @NoamYakoby challenges claims that U.S. military aid to Israel is uniquely costly, documenting far higher troop and basing costs for other allies.

Somehow US basing in Turkey, Qatar, KSA, Jordan, Iraq etc are never debated even though their primary purpose is to protect the local regimes and this is before one considers outright military funding and incentives to Egypt, Jordan and others.

Important paper which reveals that those obsessed with U.S. aid to Israel may have many motivations, but saving American tax money is not one of them.

[Daniel Pipes دانيال بايبس 🇺🇦 @DanielPipes]

#HillelFrisch came to a similar conclusion in 2017, in "Myth: Israel Is the Largest Beneficiary of US Military Aid." An excerpt:

"Israel is not even a major beneficiary of American military aid. The numerical figure reflects official direct US military aid, but is almost meaningless compared to the real costs and benefits of US military aid – which include, above all, American boots on the ground in the host states."

アメリカは、イスラエルへの軍事援助より、日本への軍事援助のほうが大きいという指摘。念のためAIに確認したら本当のデータらしい。日本への軍事援助というより日本での駐留費だと思うが、アメリカ人はアメリカの税金を日本のために使っていると思うのだろう。

[Ofek Nuriel | אופק נוריאל @OfekNuriel]

🚨 Important key-notes:

- “NATO-wide defense expenditure amounted to 2.65% of combined GDP in 2024, Israel spent 8.8% of GDP on defense in the same year and 4.4% in 2022 (before the October 7th attack)”.

- “The U.S.-Israel partnership also generates strategic benefits for the United States through regional deterrence, intelligence cooperation, defense industrial support, technological innovation, and operational knowledge”.

- “While security partnerships in Europe, Japan, and South Korea rely in part on the permanent presence of American forces, the United States supports Israel as a highly capable partner that can defend itself while advancing shared strategic objectives. This approach allows Washington to sustain regional deterrence without assuming the recurring costs and risks associated with maintaining large permanent military deployments”.

- “Military assistance to Israel also generates economic returns for the United States, particularly by supporting the American defense industrial base, rather than functioning as a simple transfer of resources overseas”.

- “Partnership with Israel provides the United States with access to combat-tested operational knowledge without requiring comparable operational exposure by U.S. forces”.

🚨 Is U.S. Military Aid to Israel Really Exceptional? 🇺🇸🇮🇱

A new report debunks all the Woke Right & Left lies - Most of the American military aid to Israel flows back to the U.S. defense industry.
