Israel doesn't really have a choice. If they didn't fund their military like they do those idiot islamofascists would take over Israel. Israel gets billions of dollars from the USA. We are a nation that was reared upon Christian values under God. If we don't protect Israel then that would be like letting God down. No one has ever been able to whipe out Israel for a very good reason, they are the true children of God.

All men & women of military age are required to serve. The only out is illness.
Yes, we help them with some of the arms to fight. What is wrong with that? They also do buy from us, it is not all free to them.
They are doing a job that we would have to be doing by keeping our foes busy trying to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Their soldiers are not paid as much as we would like to think. They defend their country with only the basic amount needed to keep themselves & their families living a very scant life.
I keep wondering why there are so many questions about Israel, is it because some hate the Jew & try to cover it up with continued questioning about what we are doing for them, as though we shouldn't be doing anything to help them?

Whay choice do they have. Anyone can find the money when their survival depends on it. Israel is a titty bit surrounded by Islamic countries, a couple of which arent very peaceful. And of course, the US supports them considerably.

Easy. Look at the planes they fly, the tanks they drive, and the rifles they fire. Most of them, not all, are supplied by the U.S. We give over 2 billion dollars a year in aid to Israel. They are able to fight rock-throwing Palestinians with Abrahms tanks and M-1's. Its your tax dollars supllying them.

By extremely heavy taxation and spending at much higher levels for their military. They have no choice.

American aid, Israeli optimism, and hope for a more peaceful future.
And needing to suppress intifadas.

There is an old Jewish saying: "Ein Brayrah" which means "there is no choice" They can because they must.
