Actually the amount of aid has been pretty much the same for a long time including during the trump administration. There was a recent spike in military aid after the October 7th attack by Hamas. The Republicans controlled the House so they were part of that increase. So it isn't just the "dems" giving money to Israel. It's a bipartisan charity. But it's strictly military aid so they can defend themselves. But they need to start paying for it themselves.
I'm glad that the economic aid stopped after Obama took office and hasn't resumed. Israel doesn't need economic aid. The Democrats ended that.
Good points. If I may...
The US has spent thus far "about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance" supporting Israel since its founding in 1948.
In contrast: over the course of the so-called War on Terror, the US spent over $400 billion (not adjusted for inflation) for air conditioning alone. All of the bombs and salaries and hospitals and food and other provisions cost extra.
Which is the better value?
The same is true of the illiberal left. Both groups are obedient, many are shockingly eager to do as they're told.
