    Completely right.

    When the U.S. gives military aid to Israel, the Israeli government is not putting that money in its pocket. The vast majority of the money that the U.S. allocates to Israel each year must be spent on American weapons.

    The logic of this only works when companies that produce these weapons pockets the money and gives some it back to bribe politicians for deals like this and to cut their taxes.

    They are taking billions of our tax money and giving it to companies in a loophole so the process isn’t directly stealing from us.

      Israel is also bribing our politicians. Our two-party political system is so corrupt it makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it.
