U.S. to give $30 Billion for Military Aid to Israel - The Mind of a Techie

U.S. to give $30 Billion for Military Aid to Israel July 30, 2007

Over at the NYTimes, there’s an article about Bush authorizing a $30 billion dollar aid package to Israel’s military, payable over the next ten years.

Now, its one thing to help Israel defend itself from terrorists and all, but why is it that this aid package is an increase of 25% more than what we were already giving them? Simple: The United States is preparing to sell arms packages (you know, guns, explosives, ammunition) to places like Saudi Arabia. Israel didn’t like that idea very much, seeing as how many of the Gulf states constantly exchange fire with Israelis, so we went ahead and upped Israel’s aid to thwart… our weapons? I guess so!
