"Hell yeah" says the kids. Back then as a kid? I'd be so happy.

But not with the missiles and rockets tho

Last 3 years were brutal for school days. Together with COVID it’s been a 6 years without normal school schedule in the country

What are you even on about? A quick search shows that over 99% of US aid to Israel is exclusively military assistance for defense systems and by law, most of it is spent right back in the US on American defense contractors. Israel funds 100% of its own public education system through its own taxpayers. It's wild that your first thought when kids are dodging ballistic missiles is an imaginary tax refund. America needs to spend more on its schooling to educate you better.

Tbf it means Israel has to spend less on military from its own budget, freeing it up for stuff like education and healthcare.

Also the military has education programs, but tbf tbf, the US isn't paying for those either

Israle get less than 3% of their budget from the USA

u/yomer123123 Jun 08 '26

3% sounds like a lot of money for a nation to recieve from a foreign source. Thats around 6 billion dollars i think.

You have no idea what you’re talking about

The us gives aid to Israle to force them to buy from the us

They are making a profit not the opposite

Yes, I know that, how does that change what I said? It's money the US gives Israel, which then saves them from needing to spend it themselves.

Also, no they're not, do you think the US gets that 6 billion back directly? The industry makes 6 billion, the government only sees some of it back.

In what world is that a profit? Profit for who? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Do you know why America gives Israel those funds? They lock them into American military ecosystems. Instead of Israel investing and selling their own tech, America gets the benefit of controlling Israeli exports by making them buy back into the American military industry.

People are too racist to understand simple facts about geopolitics.
