Do you think we would be paying that if we werent subsidizing Israel?

UNWRA, yes. We've been paying the lion's share of their expenses since 1948. The US didn't begin to give foreign aid to Israel until 1967.

The money to the PA, Jordan, and Egypt is a by-product of our attempts to buy peace in the region, much good that it did us. I don't know of any linkage between aid to Egypt and Israel.
