you in particular are very dumb since you have trouble understanding my post
much of the aid going to israel is in the form of $$ which has to be spent on military hardware
now make sure you are still following me and understanding, if not go back to the previous line and re-read before continuing..
this $$ is then paid to the various US based weapons maunfacturers who produce the goods..
still with me? if not re read the first part again
in such a way YOUR govt caters to not just the israeli lobby, but also your own weapons manufacturers who themselves have a very strong lobbby with many senators simply voting for the bills becuase a loss of such weapons deals would signal the closure of manufacturing plants and thus manufacturing jobs in thier own states... and we can't have you dim wits unemployed can we?
this is one way of proping up domestic business without actually giving them direct subsidies, it also ensures that this particular market remains a staunch consumer of US goods as israel will spend its own $$ on US weapons also
this is YOUR govt and this is how it works
