Why do you only post the amount of money given to Israel and not the amounts given to Egypt, Pakistan, African Countries or any other countries?

We shouldn't be cutting any benefits to our fellow Americans while giving a single dime to another wealthy nation that doesn't need the money. Israel doesn't need American aid whatsoever. I understand that they've been promised this money as part of an old agreement that also gives money to Egypt, but that's another issue.

If we can't afford to help Americans, then we can't afford to help anyone else. Charity starts at home.

No we shouldn't and I agree with you. That 40 billion would have paid for a lot of education, road repairs, or applied to our debt.
Better to give the money to our own than foreign leeches who only demand more from us.

Very very good question. Strange that someone doesn't question the billions being given to nations that despise us.
