The United States gets more from Israel than it gives. America sends money that Israel must spend on American weapons, but Israel gives back something far more valuable. Israeli soldiers and intelligence services fight America’s enemies thousands of miles away. Every Israeli casualty represents American troops who did not have to be deployed into those dangerous environments. If America had to do what Israel does in the Middle East, the financial and human cost would be massive. The United States gives money. Israel pays in blood. Israeli soldiers take on America’s enemies so Americans never have to.
