New Another Question.
Q. How much has it cost the US in direct financial aid to make sure there is an Israel?

A. about 5 Billion/year.

Of course, the most recent study says that since 1973 it's cost the US a little over 1.3 Trillion (yes, that's a "T") in total. Not a bad draw for a country of 6.5 million.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.

It's more like $8bil/yr to make sure there's an Egypt. Israel could do without the money for a few years, it would just blow up everything that looks at it askance before the economic effect becomes destabilizing.

It'd be hard to "blow up everything" without our "discounted" military goods, wouldn't it?
