When did the US start funding Israel?

Question

Like 3 billion dollars a year?

Do you think the US should keep funding or stop? why?

Answer 1

Get your facts straight. We LOAN money to Israel and they pay us back. They are the only country in history to keep their bills paid on time.

Answer 2

Israel was born at midnight (local time) May 14, 1948. US recognition followed 11 minutes later. A geopolitical honeymoon lasted until 1956 when Israel, France and Britain secretly joined forces, without informing president Eisenhower, to invade Egypt to wrest back control of the Suez Canal nationalized by president Nasser, then a budding Soviet protégé.

Since then Israeli and US interests have gradually merged, a perception carefully nurtured by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, arguably Washington's most powerful lobby, or at least co-equal in influence with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and AARP (American Association of Retired Persons).

With some 200 employees and 100,000 wealthy benefactors, AIPAC claims that it doesn't have to register as a foreign agent because all its funding comes from US sources. There are also over 500,000 Israelis with dual citizenship, a number of them AIPAC contributors.

Over the years, AIPAC has maneuvered to make Israel the third rail of American foreign policy. The handful of Congressmen who have been critical of Israel over the past 40 years have been publicly chastised with a figurative dunce cap, or, worse, lost their seats to AIPAC-backed opponents. Israel is an integral part of America's body politic.

Answer 3

Israel receive more than 20 billions $ each year from American taxpayers without their consent: 3.7B$ from the Congress Foreign Aid Program, 10B$ Free Loans Guarantee, and 6 to 10 B$ from USA Tax System Loophole as Charity money deducted from American JEWS Taxs to be sent to Israeli Settlements.

Answer 4

I think that started not so long after the establishment of the state of Israil in 1948, however that funding increased dramatically after the assassination of persident Kennedy, and the sworn in of L.B . Johnson
The us ties to Israil is mostly kept in the dark,so most Ameicans don't know about it, and there is alot of mis -disinformation in this regard., and apparently the I sraili lobbi network is so strong , that they are actually the behind the seen manufacturers of the us mid-east policy , including the war in I raque and the coming strike against Iran
