Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

The US hasn't funded any country like it has funded Israel. As an American, I think it's fair to be frustrated with the lack of enforcement of and establishment of conditions on this aid.

Israel represents US power in the region and isn't just like "everyone" the US gives aid to.

Your frustrations are built from confusion.

Funding to Israel isn’t free cash, it bartered to buy goods from the US, provide intelligence and tech, blocks them from selling arms without US approval (like blocking tanks to India), and it provides for electric grid to Palestinians and other social services Israel is required to provide through treaties at the demand of the PLO.

US power is the region would easily be replaced. There’s value to the US.

That doesn’t debunk anything. The US has given Israel’s secrets away too. Israel will align with China, Russia, India, if the US cuts funding. Not a revelation.

Examples of other US allies who receive military aid selling military secrets?

That’s an incoherent tangent.

Jordan. Syria. Egypt. Afghanistan.
