    The way I understand it is the money is given as grants to israel that have a stipulation that they need to be used to buy US military equipment. Basically it’s taxpayer money being used to buy from american companies via a 3rd party. War is a racket. Your taxes go to the MIC, not israel.

      Technically your tax dollars aren’t being used

      I understand that buying american weapons makes the aid end up back in america but it’s still tax payer money being spent on weapons is it not?
