$8 million a day to Israel just doesn’t make sense!

American taxpayers have given more money to Israel than to any other nation, despite the fact that Israel is one of the smallest and richest countries on earth.

Thanks to special interest lobbying, which, until now, has largely gone unopposed, Israel receives $3 billion American tax dollars each year. This comes to a whopping $8.2 million per day.

The Staggering Cost of Israel to Americans

Israel has a population of approximately 7.8 million… It is among the world's most affluent nations, with a per capita income similar to that of the European Union.
