“Our entire ethical system, our understanding of justice, of individual dignity, of human rights – it all begins with a people who heard God’s voice at Sinai,” Huckabee said. “Israel isn’t just the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. It’s the spiritual root system for the entire Western world.”
"But also there is more nuance to all the money we send to Israel. Everyone someone brings it up they act like we only send money to Israel.
The 3 billion a year we send to Israel is part of the peace deal made with Egypt in which Egypt gets 1 billion.
And the majority of that money is then sent back to America when they purchase our weapons.
And you may ask why does Israel get 3 times what Egypt does. Fair question. Favoritism and Jewish influence over American politicians definitely plays a roll.
But also, Israel is a world leader in weapons technology development and R&D. There have been dozens of joint projects between Israel and America to develop weapons systems.
And during the and after the Vietnam war. All the Arab Israeli wars gave America the chance to test them out and make sure they work, make improvements etc…
Egypt does not have nearly the level of technological advancement and knowledge that Israel does. Israeli education system is far superior to Egypt’s I’m sure." - ZaphnathPanea
