No they don't get nearly 6 billion from the US tejek. The amount offered last year was 2.3billion and there is the prospect that Obama would it back, and congress is not willing to allocate it in the future. Your strategy wont work. Try again. On average, they get nearly 3 billion in subsidies and another 3 billion in direct military aid: Israel asked for a gradual increase in the aid over a 10-year period at the tune of $50 million per year. At the end of the 10 years, Israel will receive $2.9 billion annually in military assistance from the U.S. That's the direct aid......but there is considerable indirect aid. For an example, we give annual aid to Egypt and the Palestinians because of Israel. Why do you think Egypt behaves so nicely towards Israel these days? Here's some analysis done on the subject: csmonitor.com ifamericansknew.org The point being Israel is beholden to us and stop nitpicking.
