US Officially Sends Largest Ever $38 Billion Military Aid Package to Israel

(MEMO) — The largest ever US military aid package to Israel, which worth $38bn to be delivered with a period of ten years, entered into force, State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert announced yesterday.

“As we enter the new fiscal year, the ten-year period of the $38 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the United States and Israel in 2016 begins,” Nauert said in a written statement.

“Under the terms of the MOU, the United States will set funding for Israel at levels of $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing and $500 million for cooperative programmes for missile defence over each of the next ten years,” she added.

She said that the implementation of the MOU reflects “the enduring and unshakable commitment of the President [Trump], this Administration, and the American people to Israel’s security.”

“Israel is also threatened by the reckless proliferation of destabilising weapons systems into the region that increase the possibility of an escalated conflict in an already dangerous and volatile theatre,” she added.

“The United States unconditionally affirms Israel’s right to self-defence, and this MOU is a concrete demonstration of our commitment to Israel’s capacity to defend itself with a qualitative military edge over all potential regional adversaries.”

The deal was signed by the former US President Barack Obama and will provide Israel $38 billion in US military aid from 2018 to 2028.

What's 38 billion between friends? So we're making sure Israel will have the edge against the stuff we're selling to other countries in the area? That's still not as much as Saudia Arabia is buying.

To put that into perspective, that is about 10 fold increase to the usual $3 in free money or 2700% increase on the money he saved from reducing regulations. If you ever wonder how increase in tax collected and savings in some govt operations can lead to an ever increasing deficits, look no further than this mans ability to spend way more than any dem in my lifetime.

Go team Red :)

Did anybody notice how often the term - Memorandum of Understanding - is being used recently? :confused:

I call that $38 billion closer to true and lasting peace in the Middle East, and freedom and prosperoty here at home. Talk about "moving the ball in the right direction!" Old Not Hillary is really getting the job done. :sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

I hope our children and grandchildren can find it in their hearts to forgive us for allowing them to be sold into economic slavery.

It wasn't as simple as you think it was, kid. You would do the same thing. Wait until they chop your balls and you will see. :cool:

Ah yes. The same kinds of rationalizations and justifications for evil acts I've been hearing from round-heeled compromisers and collaborators within the so-called "liberty movement" for over half a century now. Spare me.

Sounds like a term that would be used in a global governance context, along with "deals", "agreements", and other terms. You don't hear the word "treaty" much anymore. Though there's never been any treaty with Israel in the first place. Treaties took 2/3 to pass the Senate iirc so changing the terms lowers the bar.

The real catch to this aid package is that apparently, and I don't know how this is even legally possible, it's been written to somehow be immune from any future attempts to cancel it by any party, Congress included. How can Congress write a "MOU" via legislation that can't later be repealed like any other statute/code?

So Trump authorizes the sale of billions in weapons to the Saudi dictatorship, and then Trump publicly humiliates Saudi Arabia (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?527065-Trump-told-Saudi-King-he-wouldn%92t-last-%912-weeks%92-without-US-support&p=6689895#post6689895) saying they must "payup" for Washington regime's protection,

Meanwhile Washington provides billions in political, diplomatic, PR and military protection to Israel while also giving Israel billions in welfare handouts on top of it.

Where is Trump publicly humiliating the Israeli regime to "pay up" for the protection, "they wouldn't last two weeks without us".

Be nice if we stopped giving aid to Israel. Doubt Bibi would agree to that though.

Israel and Saudi Arabia are two sides of the same coin. The Saudis royals are the same ideological and genetic group as the ruling Likud Party of Israel. View the two countries as being one unified country working together toward a defined end goal of Greater Israel and things will start to make more sense.

On this issue of foreign aid to militant regimes and policy, hard to tell difference between Hillary Clinton and GOP-Jarvanka wing.

It appears there is still not good understanding among media owners regarding total cost of this "aid" to our closest non-fake "ally" and the only non-racist democracy in mideast whose non-parasitic lobbies do not routinely purchase US politicians.

That said, despite some conspiracy theories / innuendos in parts of left wing media, I'm still not convinced that MAGA could be easily initimidated by likes of Andrew Adler of Atlanta threat scandal (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?522256-Trump-is-a-Friend-of-Zion&p=6628976&viewfull=1#post6628976) or blackmailed by like of actors behind Kushner McGreevey honey-pot sex scandals (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?522256-Trump-is-a-Friend-of-Zion&p=6628976&viewfull=1#post6628976) into following neocons' pushed Syria/Iran war policies. MAGA seems too bold and upright to be victim of such manipulations.

It is quite possible there are other plausible factors behind theories about MAGA's hard turn towards appeasing GOP-Jarvanka wing's political slave masters/money baggers like mega donor Adelson?
