The U.S. currently gives $38 billion to Israel every year in foreign aid assistance. Most of the aid is used by Israel to buy American military hardware, such as jets and components for missile defense. $38 billion is 50% of the United States’ foreign aid budget for 2017. Opponents argue that the aid given to Israel is unnecessary since the country provides free healthcare and college tuition to its citizens. Proponents argue that the aid is necessary to promote democracy in the Middle East and maintain a balance of power with other countries in the region.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but condition the amount of aid and support given upon human rights treatment of the Palestinians
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but work with both states to create a two state solution in order to end the Israel-Palenstine crisis.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but recognize Palenstine and also work with both states to create a two state solution in order to end the Israel-Palenstine crisis.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but also work to create a two state solution in order to end the Israel-Palenstine crisis.
@932GCCP2yrs2Y
Yes, but maybe cut back the spending a little bit.
@93G2RP72yrs2Y
No tax dollars should be spent on foriegn aid.
@93DSRN92yrs2Y
No, we should support peace not a specific side.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, but in return the US should demand that Israel ceases discriminating against Christians and promoting homosexuality and transgenderism.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Not the current administration and we should give equal support to Israel and Palestine.
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
No, Israel is a terrorist nation that profits off of killing innocent children and America has no business getting involved. I'd prefer if America supported Palestine instead though since Palestine needs our help.
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
No, Israel is a terrorist nation that profits off of killing innocent children and America has no business getting involved.
@92NVQ272yrs2Y
Yes, but they need to not spend their troops only on military weapons.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, and continue to supporting S.Korea, and Taiwan.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, we should maintain our alliance and support them as one of the strongest democracies in the Middle East, and seek either a peaceful, two-state solution along the lines of the 1949 Armistice Agreements, or a mutually ratified consociational solution.
@7FNDWLM2yrs2Y
We should give no support to Israel and Palestine and coordinate peace talks
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, and continue to support S.Korea and Taiwan.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, and also continue to supporting S.Korea and Taiwan
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but also continue to support S.Korea and Taiwan
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
We should support Israel as our ally, but not send financial aid to any foreign nation until our budget is under control.
@92BG2S62yrs2Y
Yes, but recognize that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not our fight
@8VNFSGC2yrs2Y
We should give more equally and not to much to one institution.
@8PWXW4S2yrs2Y
No, and and no longer recognize Israel and begin to recognize Palestine
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, but condition the amount of aid upon human rights treatment of the Palestinians
@8YPV9GG2yrs2Y
We should support them as we would a developed ally, with the understanding that continued mistreatment of Palestinians is unacceptable and will lead to consequences and possible sanctions.
@8YN5FVP2yrs2Y
No, not until they stop bombing Palestinians.
@8YLBC8N2yrs2Y
NO end ALL foreign financial aid to all countries forever without apology
@8YF4BR72yrs2Y
No, neither Israel or Palestine are worthy of US aid
@8XMFL272yrs2Y
Yes, morally, but eliminate all foreign aid.
@8XDYP8P2yrs2Y
Yes, but lower the amount given so we can help other countries and ourselves more.
@8X4CFWF3yrs3Y
Yes, except the US should end the human rights violations that happen towards Palestine.
@8VL9DP43yrs3Y
No, Isreal doesn't need that much help and there are many other countries that are in worse shape than Isreal.
@Tjolly993yrs3Y
Not the current administration.
@Frugajn3yrs3Y
No, the situation in the Israel and Palestine is too marred in controversy.
@8VW68P63yrs3Y
No, because our reasons for doing so are purely religious which is a violation of the 1st amendment
@8VHBC3L3yrs3Y
Israel is not a legitimate state. It fools the religious Americans into supporting it when in reality it promotes vile degeneracy and is an enemy of all faiths, including Judaism. Zionism is a haven for the wicked.
@887SFZP3yrs3Y
No, not until Palestinian human rights and self-governance are respected.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Yes, for bibilical reasons, but lower the amount of foreign aid we give to Israel and respect Israeli sovereignty. However, we should stay out of their wars as much as possible unless Israel itself is directly attacked.
@77HLCHH3yrs3Y
The United States should continue to support Israel's right to exist, however the United States should exercise its leverage over Israel to force a two-state solution.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Not the right wing government. I support a nation for the Jewish people but they had no right to kick out the Palestinian people.
@7QJHBQ43yrs3Y
Yes, but reverse recognition of areas taken by force as part of Israel and oppose further annexations of Palestinian land by Israel. We need to work with Israel and Palestine for a two state solution in the region that will give Palestinians a contiguous state and end Israeli influence in areas that are supposed to be under Palestinian control.
@8TWB9FX3yrs3Y
Yes, but reduce the amount of financial aid we are giving them.
@8TVYZQL3yrs3Y
No, we should do what helps our own best interests the most.
@GreatPondG3yrs3Y
Yes, but cut support in half and respect Israel's sovereignty
@ElBLogan3yrs3Y
Only if aid is conditional.
@63ZXW6N3yrs3Y
No. We should give less aid to countries, unless they are truly in danger and then help humans in countries that are abusing them and/or their rights.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but condition the amount of support and aid given upon human rights treatment of the Palestinians
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with non-monetary material aid, as our nation should not give monetary aid to foreign countries, also we should stop supporting Palestine in any form, and move our embassy to Jerusalem
@8TB798W3yrs3Y
Yes, we should support Israel morally and militarily as we share the same enemies but we should not be supporting Israel monetarily.
@8TCG4TJ3yrs3Y
this doesn't really effect me
@86VPHJ23yrs3Y
Yes, but only for the sake of US influence in the region
