$3bn in military aid given to Israel in one year,
Considering how much we spend in European military aid, the cost is a bargain. Additionally, they tend to take the hardware they buy from us and make it better. That's a bargain for us also in research costs. We also get a lot of intel from them that they pay for and share with us.
We also spend many billions in Asia to protect countries and shipping against, primarily, Chinese aggression.
I'm not going to bleep about a few billion to Israel while we are spending multiples of that on the rest of you all.

Israel is number three in receiving the most in aid.
Numbers One and Two are Iraq and Afganistan two countries you have been at war
in when was the last time the US was at war with Israel? It looks as if your explanation is your glad to be using them as guinea pigs to improve your weapons (says a lot for your own R&D) don't think they would like the pigs though
If you object to as you say "spending multiples of that on the rest of you all" why do it? ITS BECAUSE YOUR BUYING GOOD WILL
We do the same albeit to a smaller extent, $16bn, still way too much for a small nation. but still eqivialent to
$80bn by a country of your size.
Its the way of the world, get over it.
