The irony is that Omar is one of the few elected officials *accurately characterizing* the relationship between the US and Israel. She correctly notes that donors and activists with allegiance to that foreign state use financial power to influence policyhttps://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1102297465502474240 …

But that's not a mischaracterization. How do I know? Because pro-Israel activists and politicians *themselves declare" that they have allegiance to Israel: constantly and proudly. So she's correct in her characterization.

This is all correct, but she would do well to remove the “praise Allah” talk and tweets. We’re long overdue for a public discussion about the relationship; but it needs to be a secular discussion.

God Bless America if it every became secular!!! Not sure what you mean, politicians always talk about 'God', why all of a sudden is it a big deal that one more of them to mentioned 'God'?

They carried out much more aggressive policies during their history when there wasn't a US support.

That is absolutely the case for other US aid recipients who have hostile powers next door. South Korea, the Baltic States. Do you think they'd be prosperous countries without the US bankrolling their security? Of course not. Same for Israel.

Those countries, whatever their flaws, are not occupying the land of neighboring countries and building settlements in them.

Could NATO function without US support? Could Europe or Japan. All of our closest allies are our client states. Why the relentless, maniacal focus on Israel.

Hmm. Saudis? You sound an awful like those who becry inter National Jewish Banking conspiracy. Sorry Michael. I like your writing but not about Israel and I think the state is often a bad actor. Just better than the neighbors in region.

China doesn't receive more US aid than all of sub-Saharan Africa put together. Israel does. If the US stopped supporting Israel , Israel would make a just peace and there would be no need to boycott

So the question isn't HOW MUCH money is given, but what is being DONE with the money. Any objections to what I've just wrote?

It is literally a client/server agreement. The US Mil manages warehouses in Israel. The IAF brings an ordnance chit and the order is filled. Effective. Fast. Deterrence. Prevents US escalation in a conflict.

I'm quite certain that many of the gulf states require US backing to carry out their policies as well.

How much foreign aid should Israel receive?

Considering they've both recently and chronically mained and murdered children, medics, and the disable, NONE.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/un-report-on-gaza-says-israeli-forces-may-have-committed-war-crimes/2019/02/28/f7236282-3b4d-11e9-a06c-3ec8ed509d15_story.html …
