13 0 ReplyWhat % of Israel's budget do you think the US gives them?
Of that % how much do you think is tied to purchases of American weapons?
5 0 ReplyApparently the US gives military grants that amount to about 16% of Israel's total military budget. That's kind of a lot, if I'm reading it correctly.
