We give Israel about 3 billion bucks a year in various forms of aid. According to the Jerusalem Post, “Seventy-four percent of these funds must be spent on the acquisition of U.S. defense equipment, services, and training.”

Secretary Kerry just announced we’ll give the Palestinians several hundred million bucks to help rebuild the buildings Israel blew up in August with some of the military aid we gave it.

Other than American defense companies, who gets anything out of this deal?

The Israelis get the opportunity to buy airplanes and tanks and other military goods, the Palestinians get cash to buy construction materials, I guess, and what the hell does the United States get out of it? Goodwill? Don’t make me laugh.
