US Aid to Israel
1) Ninety percent of the funds stay in the USA creating an incredible amount of jobs and bolstering the US defense industry which brings hundreds of billions of dollars into the USA every year in sales.
2) The funds mean US troops do not have to go in on the ground, saving their lives.
3) The US can send military hardware that is aged, and replace them with newly manufactured ones.

The funds Israel receives from the USA is an economic subsidy, all of it must be spent on US Defense companies, which means the funds dont even leave the US, and directly benefit US companies, especially Lockheed Martin.
What’s more Israel has adjusted those weapons in the past to make improvements and customizations on them, which further benefits the US companies in the form of R&D. See the link.
The defense industry brought $238 billion into the USA in 2023. They pay serious tax to the government, which makes all of the country better off !
