For the vast majority of the things mentioned, we bought or obtained from Israel. For instance, in Afghanistan, medicine and medical supplies are manufactured in Israel. Nearly all of the gear and supplies were obtained over a 10 year period and from private companies, not the Israeli government. Its not as if they were all airdropped in over baghdad during a bombing run.This does not equate with them being an ally or coalition partner. Israel is all about Israel. And we should be all about them, defending theirselves.

Spin it any way you want, combat is not the only beneficial means of aid. Israel is our ally and they can be counted on. Our own state department has framed the level of assistance they were willing to accept from the nation of Israel as I have mentioned. You not much of a fan of the nation Israel?

There is one country over there that shares our ideas of freedom and you just want to cut them loose. There is coming a time in the relatively near future when the bombs will fly and troops will be called on. We will need all the help we can get. With our treasury empty, (large parts of which are in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood and other world haters) and our capacity to wage war erroded and with the crosshairs of sequestration drawing a bead on the integrity of our armed services we can't have too many friends of the caliber of Israel.
