The BESA Center had a fascinating article last week showing that if you include the costs of deploying US troops around the globe, the amount of aid given to Israel is not nearly as much as that given to other countries.
Commenter Ed ran through the numbers, based on the amount the US spends per soldier around the world.
There are other major expenses like the cost to patrol the coasts of foreign nations but those aren’t included here. Neither are the costs of joint military exercises that are done around the world.
Here is a chart that shows how much the US really spends per country when you include troop deployments.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
