Reply To: How Should Israel Thank the United States for American Military and Economic Aid

I strongly disagree that Israel would be worse off without U.S. aid. Take Gaza for example. If not for U.S. pressure (which comes with the aid), Israel would have finished off Hamas many years ago, and 10/7 never would’ve happened.
There are plenty of other examples where Israel has been hamstrung by U.S. pressure.
Additionally, especially compared to the aid it gives other countries, the U.S. gets a lot back in return for its Israel aid, in the form of intelligence, technological research, and influence.
I’m not saying we don’t owe the U.S. for the aid. Just keep in mind what we lose and give back in return.
