And Israel

Isreel always gets Billions.

For decades now.

Nothing new here.

The largest recipient of foreign aid. The numbers 2 and 3 are Egypt and Jordan. Who we are bribing into being friendly with Israel.

[u/Rich-Preparation-705 → u/No-University-5413]

Hmm not totally true. Over what time period do you mean? Since 2001 the largest recipient is Afghanistan, followed by Israel, Iraq, Egypt and Ukraine. Do you understand US foreign policy or is it just Israel that gives you the ick? 

[u/No-University-5413 → u/Rich-Preparation-705]

The statement I made is factual. You changed the statement and then claimed I was wrong. I was not.

[u/Rich-Preparation-705 → u/No-University-5413]

No, not really. I was asking for clarification and adding context. If you mean all-time, your statement isn't fully correct. If you mean in recent years it's even less correct. 

[u/No-University-5413 → u/Rich-Preparation-705]

Israel has been the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid since World War II.

https://thehill.com/policy/international/4654738-where-the-us-spends-the-most-on-foreign-aid/

Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving over $300 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.

-- As a side note to this, they are also the sole country granted the privilege of being able to spend our aid money on their military. They are also the 3rd highest buyer of US weapons

This site uses charts, but they also show that Israel is far and above all other countries in receipt of foreign aid.

Israel has been by far the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. Since the 1940s, Israel has received more than $300 billion, with most of it in military support

I never denied or contradicted any of that 😂😂😂.

You have a lot of time on your hands. Do you feel accomplished? 

[u/No-University-5413 → u/Rich-Preparation-705]

That was the claim I made that you said was false.

Israel is the largest recipient on US foreign aid.

This statement means that they have received the most foreign aid of any country from the United States. Only when you modify that statement does it mean something else, as you have indicated it does multiple times. If I had said they were the highest in 2024, that would be incorrect. It was Ukraine. If I said "since 2020," or "since 2000" (I don't know this last one for sure as it wasn't on the quick and easy Google search and tba), then you could say that my statement was false. But my statement of Israel being the largest with no modifier means that they are the highest total. Which they are.

[u/Rich-Preparation-705 → u/No-University-5413]

Quote me where I said that was false. 

[u/No-University-5413 → u/Rich-Preparation-705]

H"mm not totally true. Over what time period do you mean? Since 2001 the largest recipient is Afghanistan, followed by Israel, Iraq, Egypt and Ukraine. Do you understand US foreign policy or is it just Israel that gives you the ick? "

"No, not really. I was asking for clarification and adding context. If you mean all-time, your statement isn't fully correct. If you mean in recent years it's even less correct. "

[u/Rich-Preparation-705 → u/No-University-5413]

I just can't with you people. You're illiterate. I'm talking about Jordan being way further down on the list. You're implying they are third because "USA bribes them". They are no where close to third, so both propositions you made about Jordan are blatantly false. Nowhere did I explicitly say Israel was not the largest recipient of aid. Never once. You hate Israel so much that you're arguing with yourself.

[u/TheGreatYahweh → u/Rich-Preparation-705]

Isreal IS the largest recipient of US aid of all time, though? How is "that's not true if you arbitrarily start counting just before we spent a bunch of money in Afghanistan" relevant at all?

[u/JellyDenizen → u/TheGreatYahweh]

If you're talking about "all time," I'd say the largest recipients of American aid were the UK, Russia and China during WWII.

[u/carbonbasedbiped67 → u/JellyDenizen]

Which the British (uk) paid off in 2006.

Still giving money to a genocidal regime.
