Not content with the fact that the US pays all of Israel’s bills, Israel is now demanding a payrise.
A few months ago, Israel submitted a request to raise the annual sum by 25 percent over 10 years, from $2.4 billion to $3b. If implemented, this would reverse the course initiated by prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu 10 years ago, which gradually reduced annual assistance by 20%, from $3b to $2.4b. Doing so would be a mistake.
Yes of course it would, Bibi. After all, Israel is doing so much to deserve the money, from treating Jews so well, to being such an international role model and meeting all its obligations.
