Israeli Benefits ToThe USA

[Phoenall]

USA & Israel: A mutually beneficial relationship.

WATCH: Why America Needs Israel (you’ll be amazed!)

Lol America absolutely does not need Israel. We're taking a big step with the new negotionations to give Israel billions of dollars a year it doesn't need, where Israel will hopefully have to spend the free money we give them on American contractors instead of lining their own pockets.

So you havent read the links provided on this very subject that shows every penny given to Israel has to be spent on US goods. But every penny given to islamonazi leaders is used to line their Swiss bank accounts.

Israel is a wealthy nation. We should not be sending them money. Anyways Israel spends a big chunk of that money lining its own contractors pockets. At least this new treaty is considering stopping that, even though we should be keeping that money at home in the first place.

Then stop and suffer the consequences, could you afford as a nation to see your defence industry start going bust without the aid of Israel in money laundering for you. Saudi is an even more wealthy nation and the US gives them 4 times what it give Israel with no strings attached, and they still kill Americans. I wonder what you would say if your mother was dying in hospital as a result of your demands to stop paying Israel aid. Or the US could not afford the latest weapons and Putin was poised to invade. No doubt you would blame the Jews for not giving you the defense protocols because you stopped the aid

Ah so you're a crazy person with delusions of grandeur about Israel. That explains a lot.

No I am a pragmatist and look at what will happen if you Jew haters get your way. You believe that Israel would crumble and the arab muslims would cleanse the world of Jews for you to gain the benefits. Well the benefits are a nuclear armed islamonazi terrorist nation poised to unleash thermo-nuclear destruction on the great shaitan. An end to America's arms industry, along with widespread unemployment. The demise of 30% of Americans when the hospitals can no longer afford to treat them for heart disease, cancer and diabetes due to the Israeli firms no longer giving the medical supplies away. How many of your Hospitals are Jewish owned and ran, along with your banks and stock brokers. How much does America rely on the Jews for its presence on the world stage. Stop letting your Jew hatred cloud your ability to think and start looking at who your real enemies are.

The reality is that as the Administration shifts in the White House, so will the approach to foreign policy and diplomacy. There is a movement in the US, that is strongly considering that the US should totally abandon anything to do with the Arab Palestinians (West Bank and Jerusalem); and only be reconsidered if the Arab Palestinians show any reasonable progress towards peace.

Since 1992, the U.S. has offered Israel an additional $2 billion annually in loan guarantees. Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974 and 1989, $16.4 billion in U.S. military loans were converted to grants and that this was the understanding from the beginning. Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israel's often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U.S. government loan. U.S. policy since 1984 has been that economic assistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israel's annual debt repayment to the United States. Unlike other countries, which receive aid in quarterly installments, aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving the U.S. government to borrow from future revenues. Israel even lends some of this money back through U.S. treasury bills and collects the additional interest.

In addition, there is the more than $1.5 billion in private U.S. funds that go to Israel annually in the form of $1 billion in private tax-deductible donations and $500 million in Israeli bonds. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government, made possible through a number of Jewish charities, does not exist with any other country. Nor do these figures include short- and long-term commercial loans from U.S. banks, which have been as high as $1 billion annually in recent years.
U.S. Financial Aid To Israel: Figures, Facts, and Impact

The United States has provided Israel with $233.7 billion in aid ‏(after adjusting for inflation‏) since the state was formed in 1948 through the end of last year, research by TheMarker has found.
In nominal terms, total American aid was $112 billion over the years, according to data that appears on the website of the U.S. Congress.
The impression created is that the partnership between the two countries results from pressure by the pro-Israeli lobby in Washington, which expressed itself particularly strongly in last year’s U.S. elections. But the U.S. government has a clear strategic interest in strong ties with Israel, which is the largest single recipient of American foreign aid, says Moshe Arens, a former foreign minister, defense minister and ambassador to Washington.
“In the world we live in, a partnership of ideals and values takes precedence over common interests,” he says. “As a democratic country, the U.S. has good relations with other democratic countries, which have economic and military importance. In the past, during the Cold War period, Israel sided with the United States and today Israel is the best partner American has in the war on terror.”
Israel received the most aid in the 1970s between the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the 1979 peace agreement with Egypt. For signing the accord with Egypt, Israel received its largest-ever amount of aid for a single ear − some $15.7 billion in grants and loans after adjusting for inflation ‏(it was $4.7 billion at the time‏), which was used to fund the transfer of army bases in the Sinai Peninsula back into Israel.
Other years that saw particularly high levels of American assistance to Israel were in 1974, when the United States helped Israel reestablish its military standing after the losses it suffered in the Yom Kippur War. That year, in inflation-adjusted terms, Israel received $12.4 billion ‏($2.6 billion in nominal terms‏). In 1976, Israel received $9.6 billion ‏($2.3 billion in nominal terms‏).
Value of aid declined
The figures do not include loan guarantees amounting to about $19 billion that Washington has granted Israel in recent years to make it easier for it to borrow overseas. It also doesn’t include the transfer of surplus military equipment to Israel.
The value of the aid has declined as well, both because it is less extensive than in the past and because the Israeli economy has grown. Since 2004, its value has been equal to less than 2% of Israel’s gross domestic product and last year was about 1.2%. This year it is likely to fall slightly due to fiscal pressures in the United States.
The first U.S. aid to Israel arrived in 1949 and was used for such basic purposes as buying food and absorbing Jewish refugees. It began to expand a decade later with the first military aid. It grew gradually from a base of $100 million ‏(in nominal terms‏) in 1949, before taking off after the Yom Kippur War and the signing of the Camp David agreements.
Since then, U.S. aid has been about $3 billion annually, of which $1.8 billion is military assistance with the rest for civilian purposes. In 1998 Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first term as prime minister, led a drive to convert the civilian portion to military aid, totaling $2.5 billion to $3 billion a year.
Some 70% of the aid is designated for Israeli purchases of military equipment from American companies.

It was only a few months ago when Arab-Moslem Death Cultists were stabbing Isrealis in random and perpetrated attacks.

You need to understand that merely spewing pointless propaganda is not going to be left unchallenged. Non violence had never been a tactic enjoyed by Islamics. The history of islamism is one of using violence and brute force as a tactic unless repelled with an uncompromising and relentless resistance to islamo-violence.

The most recent and random knife attacks on Israeli citizens stopped only because of the immediate arrest or deaths of the islmic terrorist attackers.

That is what foreign supported oligarchs all over the world do.

There is nothing unusual about the PA.

Your excuses are weak. What you are intending not to address is that the islamic terrorists in the PA and Hamas have entire infrastructures devoted to stealing UN welfare money to further Islamic terrorism while making themselves incredibly wealthy.

The PA is a foreign created and supported organization.

Another poll by the Palestinian Center in September 2013 showed that 79 percent believed the Abbas administration was corrupt.​

I don't believe your usual retreat to floating conspiracy theories is at all helpful.

How strange that Moslems are so quick to put Islamic terrorists into positions of authority and then complain when those islamic terrorists are their worst oppressors.

This would be a good time to scour YouTube for a "Hamas is an agent of the Mossad" infomercial.

So you havent read the links provided on this very subject that shows every penny given to Israel has to be spent on US goods. But every penny given to islamonazi leaders is used to line their Swiss bank accounts.

Israel is a wealthy nation. We should not be sending them money. Anyways Israel spends a big chunk of that money lining its own contractors pockets. At least this new treaty is considering stopping that, even though we should be keeping that money at home in the first place.

Then stop and suffer the consequences, could you afford as a nation to see your defence industry start going bust without the aid of Israel in money laundering for you. Saudi is an even more wealthy nation and the US gives them 4 times what it give Israel with no strings attached, and they still kill Americans. I wonder what you would say if your mother was dying in hospital as a result of your demands to stop paying Israel aid. Or the US could not afford the latest weapons and Putin was poised to invade. No doubt you would blame the Jews for not giving you the defense protocols because you stopped the aid

Ah so you're a crazy person with delusions of grandeur about Israel. That explains a lot.

No I am a pragmatist and look at what will happen if you Jew haters get your way. You believe that Israel would crumble and the arab muslims would cleanse the world of Jews for you to gain the benefits. Well the benefits are a nuclear armed islamonazi terrorist nation poised to unleash thermo-nuclear destruction on the great shaitan. An end to America's arms industry, along with widespread unemployment. The demise of 30% of Americans when the hospitals can no longer afford to treat them for heart disease, cancer and diabetes due to the Israeli firms no longer giving the medical supplies away. How many of your Hospitals are Jewish owned and ran, along with your banks and stock brokers. How much does America rely on the Jews for its presence on the world stage. Stop letting your Jew hatred cloud your ability to think and start looking at who your real enemies are.

Yep you're totally bonkers

The only answer that neo marxist islamonazi propagandist can ever come up with when shown the reality. No wonder you are called mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed shite

Since 1992, the U.S. has offered Israel an additional $2 billion annually in loan guarantees. Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974 and 1989, $16.4 billion in U.S. military loans were converted to grants and that this was the understanding from the beginning. Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israel's often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U.S. government loan. U.S. policy since 1984 has been that economic assistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israel's annual debt repayment to the United States. Unlike other countries, which receive aid in quarterly installments, aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving the U.S. government to borrow from future revenues. Israel even lends some of this money back through U.S. treasury bills and collects the additional interest.

In addition, there is the more than $1.5 billion in private U.S. funds that go to Israel annually in the form of $1 billion in private tax-deductible donations and $500 million in Israeli bonds. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government, made possible through a number of Jewish charities, does not exist with any other country. Nor do these figures include short- and long-term commercial loans from U.S. banks, which have been as high as $1 billion annually in recent years.
U.S. Financial Aid To Israel: Figures, Facts, and Impact

The United States has provided Israel with $233.7 billion in aid ‏(after adjusting for inflation‏) since the state was formed in 1948 through the end of last year, research by TheMarker has found.
In nominal terms, total American aid was $112 billion over the years, according to data that appears on the website of the U.S. Congress.
The impression created is that the partnership between the two countries results from pressure by the pro-Israeli lobby in Washington, which expressed itself particularly strongly in last year’s U.S. elections. But the U.S. government has a clear strategic interest in strong ties with Israel, which is the largest single recipient of American foreign aid, says Moshe Arens, a former foreign minister, defense minister and ambassador to Washington.
“In the world we live in, a partnership of ideals and values takes precedence over common interests,” he says. “As a democratic country, the U.S. has good relations with other democratic countries, which have economic and military importance. In the past, during the Cold War period, Israel sided with the United States and today Israel is the best partner American has in the war on terror.”
Israel received the most aid in the 1970s between the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the 1979 peace agreement with Egypt. For signing the accord with Egypt, Israel received its largest-ever amount of aid for a single ear − some $15.7 billion in grants and loans after adjusting for inflation ‏(it was $4.7 billion at the time‏), which was used to fund the transfer of army bases in the Sinai Peninsula back into Israel.
Other years that saw particularly high levels of American assistance to Israel were in 1974, when the United States helped Israel reestablish its military standing after the losses it suffered in the Yom Kippur War. That year, in inflation-adjusted terms, Israel received $12.4 billion ‏($2.6 billion in nominal terms‏). In 1976, Israel received $9.6 billion ‏($2.3 billion in nominal terms‏).
Value of aid declined
The figures do not include loan guarantees amounting to about $19 billion that Washington has granted Israel in recent years to make it easier for it to borrow overseas. It also doesn’t include the transfer of surplus military equipment to Israel.
The value of the aid has declined as well, both because it is less extensive than in the past and because the Israeli economy has grown. Since 2004, its value has been equal to less than 2% of Israel’s gross domestic product and last year was about 1.2%. This year it is likely to fall slightly due to fiscal pressures in the United States.
The first U.S. aid to Israel arrived in 1949 and was used for such basic purposes as buying food and absorbing Jewish refugees. It began to expand a decade later with the first military aid. It grew gradually from a base of $100 million ‏(in nominal terms‏) in 1949, before taking off after the Yom Kippur War and the signing of the Camp David agreements.
Since then, U.S. aid has been about $3 billion annually, of which $1.8 billion is military assistance with the rest for civilian purposes. In 1998 Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first term as prime minister, led a drive to convert the civilian portion to military aid, totaling $2.5 billion to $3 billion a year.
Some 70% of the aid is designated for Israeli purchases of military equipment from American companies.

Indeed, Israel is the mooch capital of the world.

There isn't a bigger bunch of freeloaders anywhere.

Apart from islam which mooches 10 times more than Israel. How much did it cost the US to provide Saudi with its full wing of F16's again, to say nothing of the manpower to service and repair the planes and the flight simulator used to train the pilots. A bit more than the last 10 years aid to Israel I was told, and their hand is still held out for more
