sittingidly:
Did you know that 1/3 of all US Aid goes to Israel and Egypt. I didn't until now. Why is it that the case?
the fact sheet you presented , from a clearly pro-palestinian/arab cause link, fails to mention the TOTAL aid that countries receive since it only talks about US foreign aid spending.
If you sum the total aid the Palestinans receive globally you will find out that each palestinian gets about 5 times more what each European received with the Marshall plan after WWII in today's exchange rate, to be more specific they receive from the world a little more than what the US gives Israel in military aid.
Where does all that money go?
In the case of Israel it's quite obvious: into a formidable defence force.
In the case of the Palestinians it isn't that clear since they keep claiming a humanitarian crises.
There are hundreds of US Military bases around the world and the majority of their locations follow the same pathway that oil flows.
While nobody disputes the fact that oil plays a vital role in the economics and lifestyle of the western countries the above piece of info is misleading and far from being the truth: the major overseas US military installations are in Europe (no oil there) and in the Pacific Far East (no oil there either).
-on the other hand, it must be acknowledged that the US is still the largest contributor of Foreign Aid but much of that is Military Aid
Your acknowledgment of the US being the largest contributor of global aid is correct , what isn't true is that much if it is military aid in fact out of 45bln total only 11bln is military.
But it does explain many other things, such as why the majority don't even support universal health care for their fellow citizens. Or why many people decree that they should '' just go bomb the place and leave a big glass crater in the ground''. Or even why Americans say ''sir'' all the time on the radios
The above generalization says it all about where you stand.....try to google up the amount of scientific discoveries made by the Americans in the last 150 years compared to the rest of the "much more civilized" world and report back.
