Shouldn’t Israel be paying us for protection?

Rather than us handing them billions and still having to protect them?

You would think. But the Jews here in America make sure the money only flows one way.

No because we shouldn’t be protecting them in the first place.

Nice attempt at distracting from the NATO discussion though.

The other ME countries should be paying us to "protect" Israel.

If we weren't doing it, the Chosen People would have wrecked their shite decades ago.

They buy a lot of their equipment from the US. Not sure if that offsets things or not.

They actually buy billions worth of military equipment from us each year and protect themselves. Of course, the US having their back certainly helps.

How are many U.S. military bases currently operating in Israel?

Yes. Are you saying that since Israel fricks us, it's ok for NATO countries to frick us?

I never thought of it this way, but this is the truth.

Poor troll attempt that a year ago I would have believed you were above. Trump broke you.

Yes, we give Israel foreign aid, but we don't also "protect" them, we have zero US troops in Israel or on their borders.

In addition, Israel is a tiny country surrounded by nations that would just as soon destroy them, or at least try to and our aid is about the only thing preventing that, which would undoubtedly lead to another world war.

Contrast that to say Germany, does anyone really believe that the Russians would attack if we didn't have troops in Germany? Of course not.

That's also a very good point. If we ever let Israel off their leash, it would lead to probably the most destructive war in human history,and, SPOILER ALERT, Islam gonna have a bad time.

You bring up what we spend in Israel when we've been discussing NATO all morning, is there another reason you brought them up?

They do in the form of intelligence and it's worth every penny

Israel would get absolutely destroyed by a unified Middle East. They would get hit from every side and wouldn't be able to hold them off. The only reason Israel exists is because we protect them. That is it. If the United States were to cut ties from Israel they would fold in 6 months and they would be invaded from all sides. Israel is a Welfare State that can't exist without money and military support from America.
