American Aid to Israel: When, How, and Why?


Somehow it is already generally accepted that the United States has always been the main partner of all of Israel - its advocate, protector, and constantly stood on the side of Israel. This view is not entirely correct. This was not always the case, and reality is much more complicated. Relations between the United States and Israel are not so clear. If this is friendship, then the other’s arms are so strong that they can suffocate. If this is love, then love is lordly. And with an unwavering hand, a friend often pushes Israel toward a goal that suits America and does not suit Israel ...



To begin with, let's do without the myth that without the grace of the US government, Israel could never stand against its much more numerous and better armed enemies. In the first decades after the creation of Israel in 1948, the United States was more of an enemy than a friend, usually taking the side of Israel’s Arab neighbors, whose oil wealth was important to the United States, and also to keep them outside the Soviet sphere of influence.

The case was as follows: while in 1947, at the UN, backstage talks on dividing the Palestinian territory were still being held, almost all of the staff US State Department were against the creation of a Jewish state. Influential politicians and government officials called on the US president, Harry Truman, not to take any practical steps to create two states in Palestine: they say, the idea will die by itself.


Harry Truman - 33 US President


First of all, the popular politician, the hero of the recent war, who became the US Secretary of State, General George Marshall, opposed the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.


This is the one George Marshallauthor of famous "Marshal's Plan" - assistance programs that raised Europe in a short time from the ruins after World War II.


Marshall feared that the obvious support of the Jewish state would lead the USSR to act as an ally to the Arab countries and gain wide access to the region. In addition, many Americans were convinced that the creation of Israel was an action of the Soviet Union, that the power in Israel was in the hands of the leftists and the communists, that a communist state was created there that was dangerous for the United States. Therefore, to support Israel in any case is impossible.

The conflict between Truman and Marshall on this issue threatened to escalate into a government crisis. However, the growth of scandal was avoided. Truman insisted on his decision to support the creation of Israel. The influence of the Jewish community in the United States, whose votes Truman wanted to enlist on the eve of the 1948 presidential election of the year, and the fact that Truman was a southern Baptist and had some religious sympathy for Jews, played a significant role here.

This did not prevent him from 5 December 1947, a few days after the UN General Assembly adopted the partitioning plan, imposing an arms embargo on the Middle East, and banning the issuance of passports to people who want to serve in the armed forces not subordinate to the US government. So the government did not allow the American Jews to help their fellow fighters in Palestine. (Despite this, almost 1000 American volunteers participated in the war of independence on the side of Israel.) Although the embargo was formally extended to Arabs as well as Jews, American weapons worth millions of dollars were given to Arabs before the new measures came into force . All Western Allies followed suit and started selling. weapon the Arabs.

One of the most vehement opponents of the creation of Israel was US Secretary of Defense James Forrestal.


This is the one James forrestal - 1-th US Secretary of Defense, which a year after the described events will be thrown out of the window of the 16 floor with a shout: “Russians are coming !!!”.

21 January 1948 of the Year Forrestal wrote a memorandum that analyzed the threat to America’s national security from engaging her in a Palestinian adventure. He warned that one could permanently ruin relations with the Arab world, get involved in a war, etc. Forrestal told President Truman:
“You just don’t understand that forty million Arabs will push four hundred thousand Jews into the sea.” And that's the point. Oil - we should be on the side of oil. ”


Well, the State Department’s planning department has prepared a memorandum in which the main conclusion was generally the following: the partition plan for Palestine is practically impossible ...

In the 1956 year, after Egypt blocked the delivery of goods to Israel and seized the Suez Canal, an international waterway owned by Britain and France, the three countries jointly invaded Egypt to regain their rights. ("Suez crisis") Although US President Dwight Eisenhower acknowledged that “serious and repeated provocations” from Egypt led to the invasion, he decided to gain the friendship of the Arab world, forcing the invaders to retreat, thereby supporting the USSR’s ultimatum on Israel to cease hostilities immediately.


Dwight D. Eisenhower - 34 US President


Eisenhower threatened Israel with exclusion from the UN, adding weight to its demands by voicing them in a radio and television message to the American people from the White House ...

The attitude of the United States to Israel began to change, and then military assistance began only after the United States realized that Israel had already created a sufficiently powerful military industry capable of withstanding Arab ambitions, that Israel had built powerful armed forces that give a chance to undermine the influence of the USSR in the Middle East.

Now, let's move from politics to money.
The first two decades since the formation of the State of Israel, relations between the countries were obviously formal. This is evidenced by economic indicators: in 1949, the United States provided the first loan to Israel in the amount of 100 million dollars, and the size of annual loans remained almost unchanged for 20 years, with 95% of this aid being food supplies and economic aid.


The reasons lie in the geopolitical alignment of forces for that period. At that time, France was the main exporter of food and weapons to Israel. This is due to the fact that from 1954 to 1962 year she led a grueling war against algeriawho sought independence. Algeria’s main ally in this struggle was Nasser Egypt, where pan-Arabism’s slogans reached the peak of their popularity. Therefore, France decided to fully support the country neighboring with Egypt - Israel, in every way playing on the Arab-Israeli contradictions and diverting the attention and strength of Egypt to preserve military parity with the young Jewish state.

Relations between the two countries were further strengthened after the Suez crisis, when joint actions by France, Israel and Britain caused more than a cold reaction in Washington. However, in the 1960-s, Charles de Gaulle came to power in France, who decides to “reset” the Franco-Arab relations.


President of France Sharl De Goll


This concerned the satisfaction of the Algerian demands for independence and the strengthening of relations with other Arab countries. The victim of such a policy fell close French-Israeli cooperation. In 1967, France imposed an arms embargo on the Jewish state ...

After Six-Day war the rearmament of the army began, for which Israel spent more money than was spent over all previous 19 years of the state’s existence. To implement such an ambitious project, the country urgently needed financial assistance for the purchase of modern weapons.

Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War convinced the US government of the need to cooperate with the Jewish state. Cooperation could be beneficial for the United States, and help itself turned into an instrument of influence on Israel. Soon after, the US became the main arms supplier to Israel. For Washington, the essence of such assistance was to undermine the influence of the USSR in the Middle East.

In 1968, the administration Lyndon johnson approved the sale to Israel of a party of ultramodern, at that time, aircraft Phantom F-4That was the first signal to warming relations.

In the 1969 year, assistance in the amount of 160,3 million dollars was allocated. In 1971, the volume of aid increased immediately by several times and amounted to $ 634,3 million. Since then, the amount has been regularly reserved in the US budget to help Israel.
The second sharp rise occurred after the Doomsday War. In 1974, the United States provided a military grant of $ 982,7 million and for the first time provided a military loan of $ 1,5 billion.

Economic support has been transformed - instead of financing individual projects, the United States is introducing the Commodity Import Program (CIP), aimed at purchasing American goods. (This program was replaced by untied financial assistance only in the 1979 year, which has become more convenient for Israel.)

In 1974, Israel becomes the largest recipient of US aid, later this volume was exceeded only by Iraq and Afghanistan. In 1971 – 1973, the amount of US aid to Israel was already about 0,5 billion dollars, and since 1974 has exceeded 1 billion dollars, with 2 / 3 already falling to military aid.


Further, the amounts continued to increase. From 1975 to 1980, the United States provided economic grants worth 2,9 billion to Israel. Together with loans, this amounted to $ 4,7 billion. About a billion a year - it covered about 45% of Israel’s negative balance of payments.

In the 1980-1984 years, the United States switched exclusively to irrevocable financing, providing Israel with another $ 3,2 billion. In just 14 years - from 1970 to 1984 - Israel received economic loans and grants in the amount of $ 8 billion.

Since 1985, the United States has not given more loans to Israel, but has completely switched to irrevocable financing of military expenses and covering losses associated with the operation of an overgrown military complex.

Over the 11 years, from 1985 to 1996, the United States provided military assistance in the amount of $ 19,3 billion and economic aid in the amount of $ 18,8 billion. In the period from 1997 to 2002, the US allocated military grants in the amount of $ 12,5 billion. In 2000, the amount of aid for the first time exceeded $ 3 billion, amounting to $ 3,1 billion.

The economic component of US aid to Israel has steadily declined since the middle of the 1990-ies, until it was finally driven out of the aid structure.

Currently, the bulk of funding comes from military assistance programs.

Some of the weapons and military equipment of the United States are transferred to Israel on a grant basis as part of the Excess Defense Articles Transfer Program. The program allows the United States after the end of the Cold War to get rid of used equipment, the utilization and further use of which in the United States is associated with high costs. For 10 years - from 2001 to 2011 a year - Israel received weapons and military equipment worth more than 330 million dollars.

What is the purpose of the United States, arming Israel over the past 40 years? The official US doctrine in this regard uses the term Qualitative Military Edge (QME), which refers to Israel’s minimum sustained military superiority over neighboring Arab countries in the Middle East. In practice, this is that Israel annually receives about 3 billion US dollars of military aid, Egypt - 1,3 billion dollars, Jordan - 0,3 billion dollars. At the same time, the volume of supplies of weapons and military equipment of the USA to the Persian countries is also taken into account. the gulf.

Maintaining such a dynamic equilibrium allows not to disturb the regional balance of power, as well as to “tie” the countries of the region with the United States. If one of the countries (Israel or Arab countries) violates the truce with its neighbors and loses the favor of the United States, while others maintain good relations with the United States, then in the next fiscal year the “obedient” country receives a new tranche of military aid and modernizes its weapons, and the “naughty” country remains with outdated weapons. According to some experts, this financial structure is the foundation of peace in the Middle East. In addition, economic assistance helped moderate regimes resist the growth of radicalism in their countries. In other words, America preferred to allocate funds to these countries instead of keeping its troops there.

In fact, it is beneficial for the United States to support all parties to the conflict in the Middle East (Israel and the Arab countries) in the belief that American military assistance will last forever. It is no coincidence, for example, in 2007 between the governments of the United States and Israel that the 10-Year Military Aid Agreement was concluded, which governed the relationship at the current stage. It was a $ 10 bil- lion assistance package, accepted by the administration Bush Junior. According to this agreement, it was planned to increase annual aid volumes from $ 2,55 billion to $ 3.1 billion in 2013. In the United States, Israel is trying to acquire mainly precision-guided weapons and fighters for this money, and simply buy the rest with the funds of the planned defense budget.

It is noteworthy that, until recently, 26.3% of aid Israel could spend on the purchase of weapons of its own production. Such privileges were no longer any of the countries cooperating with the United States. It seems that having your own R & D and the production of weapons and military equipment is a kind of guarantee of the existence of Israel as a state. It would be short-sighted to limit ourselves to purchasing and receiving foreign military equipment. This is most clearly seen in the example of US assistance in creating the Israeli missile defense system.


In addition to the procurement of short-range tactical missile defense systems Hawk (MIM-23 HAWK) and "Patriot", with the financial support of the United States, Israel has developed its own short-range missile defense system "Iron dome". This system is developed entirely in Israel by "Rafael Advanced Defense Systems". The system was adopted for service and successfully showed itself during the operation. Cloud Pillar и "Unbreakable rock".

Israel plans to export the system to South Korea, Singapore and India.

The United States is increasing funding for the creation of small and medium-range missile defense "Sling of David". The development of the system is carried out by the already mentioned Israeli company "Rafael Advanced Defense Systems" together with the American "Raytheon".

Finally, in collaboration with the American corporation "Boeing", a project is underway to develop medium and long-range missile defense systems "Arrow" (modifications of 2 and 3). The overall management of this project is provided by the Israeli Ministry of Defense in cooperation with the United States Agency for Missile Defense.


There are a number of reservations regarding the use of US military aid: for example, the United States harshly curbs any attempts to re-export its military aid to third countries. The possibility of re-exporting US weapons is in principle one of the most sensitive issues in US-Israeli cooperation. The United States, in fact, froze the planned Chinese-Israeli and Russian-Israeli partnership in the military sphere. The transaction on the acquisition by India of the Arrow missile defense system was also blocked due to the fact that it uses American developments.

In order to control re-exports, a bilateral agreement was signed in 2005, which included Israel’s consultations with the United States in the event Israel’s possible supply of “sensitive weapons” to third countries. For its part, the Jewish state created its own agency that controls the export of weapons.

The agreement between the United States and Israel, signed on September 14, 2016, many consider historical. Indeed, within the framework of this document, Washington will provide military assistance to the Jewish state for $ 38 billion. The agreement guarantees the unprecedented amount of military assistance that Israel will receive in the next 10 years. This is the largest military aid package ever provided by the United States to any country.

Currently, the United States is the guarantor of economic stability and military security of Israel. The United States has repeatedly in the world political arena, the UN has proved its loyalty to Israel, protecting it from the attacks of numerous enemies. The economic motives of the community of little Israel and the mighty world power are closely intertwined politically.

The American government is not faced with the question of whether to help Israel in the difficult and unpredictable conditions prevailing today in the world economy and the region of the Middle East. Surveys show support for the government by the American people: 63% of Americans support Israel in the Arab-Israeli confrontation. However, 59% of Americans approved a reduction in US aid abroad (including Israel). Therefore, the United States raises the question: what to give money? Today, the stake is on the armament of Israel, but analysts of the Research Service at the US Congress note that in the foreseeable future we can talk about investing money in diplomatic methods, in particular, to help Arab countries neighboring Israel, to reduce social pressure and influence Islamist forces.

Indeed, $ 38 billion is the record amount in the history of US military transactions. However, in exchange for receiving such an amount, Israel had to make a number of concessions. So, Israel for the period of validity of the agreement (10 years) undertook not to request additional assistance. Also, the funds provided by the United States can no longer be spent on financing the Israeli defense industry instead of purchasing American weapons.

In this regard, the question arises: does American aid to Israel really be necessary? After all, Israel’s refusal of American assistance would have strengthened Israeli industry and contributed to economic growth. Thousands of jobs in the United States created at the expense of US military aid to Israel would have passed to the Israelis. Waiver of the right to spend more than 25% of military aid inside the country is a serious loss of jobs.

Yes, there are quite a few critics in the current US-Israeli aid programs. And if the Americans criticize the unnecessary expenses that, in their opinion, are made by the American government, the Israelis criticize American aid for other reasons.

First, Israel is overly dependent on the United States and, in the event of a sharp reduction in aid flows, it may experience foreign policy and domestic political turmoil. There is a precedent: during the operation “Enduring Rock”, Barack Obama informally imposed an embargo on the delivery of missiles of a certain class to Israel. Obama also temporarily banned flights of American commercial aircraft landing at Ben Gurion Airport, thus threatening the Israeli economy. These steps were taken by Obama to coerce Israel into accepting Hamas peace terms.

Second, critics argue that most of what Israel receives from America in the form of assistance can be purchased from other suppliers at much lower prices. At one time, there were demands to buy American products, even in the case when funding comes from Israeli domestic sources. Thus, the order for Airbus civilian aircraft, which are much cheaper than American ones, was canceled, forcing Israelis to purchase Boeings, Israel abandoned its own development program for the Lavi fighter. Under US pressure, the project was curtailed in favor of F-16.

Finally, the Israeli military-industrial complex is seriously export-oriented (Israel takes 8 (!) A place in the world in arms exports), since American goods "push" Israeli weapons and military equipment from the local market.

In conclusion, I will give a few more figures.
Israeli defense spending in 2016 was 5,8% of GDP, and in 1990 was 17,5%.
This does not mean that defense spending has more than tripled, just GDP has increased. For example, Israel’s per capita GDP from 2005 to 2014 increased 1,67 times. US military aid (about $ 3 billion) makes up just over 1% of GDP.


US military aid, as a share of Israel’s national GDP, by year.


If Israel maintained military spending in 1990 at the level of 17,5% of GDP, then, as critics of US military aid believe, it will withstand just over 6% without any particular problems.

        Of course, you are right. recourse Should read: "2016% of GDP in 5,8 year" . Unfortunately, after the publication I cannot edit the text. No.

        The government makes such decisions based on some economic considerations. Apparently, at the moment, nothing terrible happens. Unemployment is not increasing, there is no inflation, orders from the military industry are there, start-ups in high-tech fly away like hotcakes. Further, it will be clear.

          About Forrestal - a slight exaggeration. The Russians are coming — he had it a little earlier, and before suicide he left a note with an excerpt from the tragedy of Sophocles Ajax. In addition, any additional programs of assistance to the same Egypt, which do not deal specifically with military funding, are not taken into account. From 1982 to 1997, the year (according to the US Congress) American aid to Egypt amounted to 49 billion dollars. That is about 3,2 billion dollars a year. Well, there are a few more remarks about the fact that the main aid came after the return of the Sinai Peninsula (one of the richest in natural resources, oil, etc.). And the rest - a very sensible and competent article.

    The question is not the help of the USA or France. Israel very effectively used all the resources available to it to develop its independent military-technical potential.

    Informative, objective and informative. US motivation for providing military assistance to Israel is openly disclosed. The author alluded to the US unofficial ban on the supply of certain types of weapons to Israel during Operation Unbreakable Rock. Thus, Israel was shown to be dependent in an extreme situation on the will of a strategic partner. If we recall the French embargo on the supply of arms to Israel on the eve of the six-day war, then after its end, the Israeli Air Force has developed, without exaggeration, a critical situation for obtaining components for Mirage5 aircraft. The country could be left without any combat-ready Air Force, which against the background of the total rearmament of Egypt and Syria by the USSR was fraught with catastrophic consequences.
    Israel took an extreme step: it involved the Mossad and stole tons of documentation for the production of these aircraft from Switzerland (Frauenknecht case). Only this special operation allowed Israel to launch the production of its own Nesher aircraft with an engine using French technology within a year. A little later, the Kfir fighter was created, surprisingly reminiscent of the Mirage 5. I mean, history can repeat itself. And how would Israel not be fooled by excessive dependence on arms supplies from the United States. And the eggs should be laid out in different baskets and cooperate in the field of defense, not only with the states. I swear to Barack Obama!

      You're right. Excessive dependence is fraught and makes it possible to twist arms. Israel’s creation of its own fleet under an embargo of non- and licensed components is a separate big topic. It is possible that I will prepare a review on this issue.

          The article is the usual "juggling" of facts in the style of Israeli propaganda.
          For example, this:
          Quote: Quote: article
          US military assistance (about $ 3 billion) accounts for just over 1% of GDP.

          Why does the author compare US aid with Israeli GDP?
          If we are to compare it, we need to compare it with the annual budget of the Israeli regime, and in 2017 it amounted to 446.8 billion shekels, the dollar exchange rate is 3.17 shekels, that is, the budget is approximately = 141 billion dollars and 3 billion dollars of help from the USA no longer comes out 1%
          Again, the budget of the Ministry of Health is somewhere around 10 billion dollars a year, and if the Israeli regime "refuses" US assistance, for example, to compensate Washington’s money, it will be forced to reduce its "health costs" by 30% or other expenses of its state
          So US assistance plays a HUGE role in financing the aggressive and unpredictable Tel Aviv regime.
          Quote: Quote: article
          The United States is increasing funding for the creation of a short- and medium-range missile defense "David Sling." The development of the system is carried out by the already mentioned Israeli company "Rafael Advanced Defense Systems" together with the American "Raytheon".

          Finally, in cooperation with the American Boeing Corporation, a project is underway to develop Arrow medium and long-range missile defense systems (modifications 2 and 3). General management of this project is carried out by the Israeli Ministry of Defense in conjunction with the United States Agency for Missile Defense.

          The United States does virtually everything there, and Israel, as they say only on a “catch”, and the financing of these projectors has already exceeded (in 2018) for $ 700 million a year, again, at the expense of free aid from the USA, but with a completely separate article, and these 700 million should be added to the annual gratuitous aid of 3 billion 100 million dollars By the way, in 2017, the United States "presented" the Israeli regime with a missile defense of 600 million dollars ..
          US Congress approves $ 705 million for Israeli missile defense
          The Appropriations Committee and the Armed Forces Committee of the House of Representatives and the Armed Forces Committee of the US Senate approved on Thursday, June 29, a law on the allocation of $ 705 million for US-Israeli missile defense cooperation programs.

          Funds were allocated as part of the development and procurement programs for the Iron Dome, Magic Wand, Hets-2 and Hets-3 missile defense systems in 2018.

          The appropriations for these programs are approved by the US Congress annually because they are not part of the US-Israeli XNUMX-year defense assistance agreement.
          Note that this time Congress allocated $ 105 million more than a year ago.

          The new ten-year agreement, signed at the end of 2016 and entering into force in 2018, already provides for the inclusion of funding for missile defense programs, so funds will be allocated for them automatically, without having to go through the annual Congress approval process.

          Recall that under the new agreement, Israel will receive $ 3,8 billion instead of $ 3,1 billion.

    US government assistance is not limited to direct budget subsidies.

    The second multibillion-dollar channel is the donations of American citizens - Jews by nationality. In accordance with current US law, these donations are deducted from the amount of taxes levied on the budget, i.e. every dollar transferred to Israel is a direct deduction from US budget revenues.

    In addition, all without exception, Israel’s large-scale industry is the property of American citizens of Jewish descent who have invested tens of billions of personal funds not in the development of their state of origin (USA), but in their “historical homeland”. These same people created a guaranteed sales market for products manufactured at American enterprises located in Israel.

    T.O. American Jews behave as citizens of a foreign state, using America as the cash cow of Israel. No other state in the world allows such a massive and uncompensated export of capital abroad. The reason is the actions of the Jewish lobby at the level of the US government.

    If Israel is deprived of the channel for pumping American money and technology, then it will bend the very next day.

        Israel will lose multichannel American assistance in only one case - when non-Jewish Americans realize that they are being milked in the dark.

        Another channel for financing Israel with the help of the subversive activities of the Jewish lobby is to set the American army on Israel’s enemies with direct payment of a “banquet” from the US budget (Iraq, Libya, Syria). Losses, including human losses, are incurred by Americans, and Israel receives political dividends.

        Such an anti-American policy (in fact, subversive activity) of the Jewish lobby cannot last forever - US patriots like Trump are gradually changing the situation.

          For some US citizens, this is "barely" but is already "reaching" and they are beginning to understand that the Tel Aviv regime is engaged in an aggressive policy of supporting terrorists and "begging" referring to allegedly existing anti-Semitism in the world and other "fairy tales"
          The USA knows more about Israel, but love it less
          According to The Jerusalem Connection Report, Israel is losing support in the United States among national minorities and youth. The image of Israel in the eyes of the Americans is a religious and paramilitary country.
          The survey results showed that if in 2010 23% of Americans had significant information about Israel, then in 2016 there were already 37% of them. The number of acquaintances with Israel increased in all focus groups, with the exception of college students, where this figure fell from 50% to 34%.

          Surveys, however, showed that the best knowledge of Israel did not lead to an increase in sympathy for the Jewish state - this figure fell from 76% to 62% nationwide. The situation in American colleges turned out to be especially alarming: from 2010 to 2016, the number of "leaning toward Israel in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict" fell by 27%.

            The US ideology for internal use is based on the idea of ​​a melting pot of the peoples of which the American nation is formed.

            This ideology is directly opposed to the ideology of Israel - the exclusivity of one single "God's chosen" people. From the point of view of the average American, this is outright racism.

            Therefore, racist-oriented Jews of American descent are, in the full sense, aliens for most of the US population.

        According to the updated oligarch rating, the fortune of the owner of Alfa Bank and other industrial and financial institutions of the Russian Federation in 2016 is $ 13,3 billion (a decrease of 1,3 billion compared to last year).

        Another businessman of Jewish origin, Leonid Mikhelson (owner of Novatek and Sibur Concerns), comes first in the Forbes Russia list.

        The son of the Soviet oilman Viktor Zelmanovich Mikhelson increased his capital over the years by $ 2,5 billion and now Leonid Mikhelson is "worth" $ 14,4 billion.

        The owner of Metalloinvest holding Alisher Usmanov, married to Jewess Irina Viner, having lost $ 2016 billion in 1,9, but remains in third place in the ranking of Russian oligarchs ($ 12,5 billion).

        The owner of Norilsk Nickel Vladimir Potanin lost $ 3,3 billion over the year and rolled from first to fourth place with a capital of $ 12,1 billion.

        The seventh place in the Forbes Russia list is occupied by the owner of the Rusal company Viktor Vekselberg - 10,5 billion dollars. Over the year, Vekselberg’s financial condition also declined significantly (by $ 3,7 billion).

      In addition, all without exception, Israel’s large-scale industry is the property of American citizens of Jewish descent who have invested tens of billions of personal funds not in the development of their state of origin (USA), but in their “historical homeland”. These same people created a guaranteed sales market for products manufactured at American enterprises located in Israel.

    To be immediately clear, I am a supporter of American aid. With all its drawbacks, I believe that if given, you need to take. With the rich will not lose. laughing

    Serious economists believe that American aid hinders the development of the Israeli economy. Israel is a country with a fairly high level of export. The increase in the volume of exports, primarily military-industrial, will boldly name one of the main conditions for the further development of the Israeli economy. Washington clearly uses military aid and our dependence on the supply of its weapons to restrict Israeli military exports. So, I understand the opponents of American aid, although I disagree with them in many ways. Not that I'm a freeloader by nature, no. They give good money and they should be used efficiently, which is what has happened so far. As I already pointed out in the article, the state American aid is given today exclusively for armaments (we feed ourselves and even from the desert to Russia we send fellow ) This is very convenient also because if we are talking about ammunition, the main types of light weapons, vehicles, etc., then in all of this disgrace in the United States do not need to go. This is all, in infinite quantities, is already here, in the Middle East, in military warehouses of the US Army, both in Israel and in several Arab countries.
    In other words, if we need some kind of ammunition, after a couple of hours, it is already here. When Barak Huseynovich didn’t remember the night, he suddenly blocked our access to such warehouses, and even in the midst of military operations during the operation “Enduring Rock”, we had to wriggle out. Of course, we pretended that nothing terrible had happened, “but in our hearts we held some rudeness” (c). These were rockets in one of the configurations. I had, I remember, to sweat. But in 90 days they launched their production ...

    Yes, Jews are not only the United States, but the whole world donate to Israel. I understand, Operator, the export of billions from the Russian Federation (According to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the outflow of capital in 2014 is $ 125 billion. US capital, according to the Central Bank of Russia, the outflow of capital in 2014 is $ 151,5 billion.) citizens - Russian by nationality, it is insulting and not embarrassing national pride. But, there's nothing to be done about it. With this you have to somehow accept.

    So much of it, or a little 3,8 of a billion green? I agree, pivasika such grandmother could be typed is not sickly. drinks
    If we take it as a percentage of the state budget, as suggested by Vatnik, it will be about three percent. It seems and not a little, but the budget for next year, compared with the current, will increase by 5%. These are the very same 3,8 billion greens. Inflation is low, unemployment too. The budget will continue to grow. It has not decreased for a long time, because state revenues only increase. Not as fast as we would like, but growing up. Again, the money is not superfluous, but if Dad does not give pocket money, somehow we will spin ourselves.

    The funds were allocated as part of the development programs and procurement of the Iron Dome, Magic Wand, Hetz-2 and Hetz-3 missile defense systems, essentially pennies, which seem huge only to those who live in a man with ten thousand was called a millionaire before the war. "(c) Ask about the cost of these products at your leisure and you will be happy.

          GDP is calculated as the sum of the value of products and services sold in the country. This amount includes purchases of raw materials and components abroad, repayment and payment for foreign loans, foreign subsidies, etc.

          Therefore, an objective indicator of the contribution of the country's population to GDP is an indicator of value added.

              Added value per capita in Switzerland and Luxembourg is significant - it includes interest on loans issued by local banks around the world.

              Added value per capita in the Gulf countries is also significant - due to the multiple gap in the cost of oil and gas produced and their cost.

              Germany and China earn value added most honestly, independently producing many goods on their territory.

              Most of the US value added is made up of interest payments and return on profits from investments abroad, including in the form of technologies and design documentation.

              Russia earns one half of the value added through the supply of natural resources and the other half from the production of finished products.
