US, Israel reach record $38bn military aid deal

After months of negotiations, the US and Israel have signed a 10-year agreement laying out how much military support the US will provide.

At $38bn, it is being billed as the single largest pledge of aid in US history, but the numbers do not tell the whole story.

Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.

Double standard here when politicians from either parties complained about sending military aid to Ukraine and yet there’re fine sending aid to Israel.

That money is our tax money that we work hard for and it should be use for us here in the USA not on Israel.
What if Americans stop the labor and no taxes from our work?

1. Israel does not need Military aid from United States. Israel is now self-sufficient and can protect itself. The only reason the USA gives aid to Israel is to have a foot hold in the Middle East and to have access to Israel’s military benefits the USA not Israel.
2. Israel must spend 74% of American aid money on American defence contractors. This spending supports well over 20, 000 jobs according to recent estimates.
3. Israel provides a cost-effective alternative to stationing American troops in the region. U.S tax dollars maintain regional peace and stability by helping Israel respond effectively to its unprecedented military threats from Hamas controlled Gaza, and other Islamist terror groups.
