There is a minimum of $3.1 billion to be wasted on propping up “Israel”. And it’s “nonrepayable” (unless the Arms Export Control Act says otherwise):
“Provided further, That of the funds appropriated under this heading, not less than $3,100,000,000 shall be available for grants only for Israel which shall be disbursed within 30 days of enactment of this Act: Provided further, That to the extent that the Government of Israel requests that funds be used for such purposes, grants made available for Israel under this heading shall, as agreed by the United States and Israel, be available for advanced weapons systems, of which not less than $815,300,000 shall be available for the procurement in Israel of defense articles and defense services, including research and development: Provided further, That funds appropriated or otherwise made available under this heading shall be nonrepayable notwithstanding any requirement in section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act:”

Elsewhere, there is $705.8 million earmarked for “Israel’s” military, that may or may not be included under the $815.3 million above.
“Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense Wide’, $705,800,000 shall be for the Israeli Cooperative Programs: Provided, That of this amount, $92,000,000 shall be for the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Government of Israel for the procurement of the Iron Dome defense system to counter short-range rocket threats, subject to the U.S.-Israel Iron Dome Procurement Agreement, as amended; $221,500,000 shall be for the Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense (SRBMD) program, including cruise missile defense research and development under the SRBMD program, of which $120,000,000 shall be for co-production activities of SRBMD systems in the United States and in Israel to meet Israel’s defense requirements consistent with each nation’s laws, regulations, and procedures, subject to the U.S.-Israeli co-production agreement for SRBMD, as amended; $310,000,000 shall be for an upper-tier component to the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture, of which $120,000,000 shall be for co-production activities of Arrow 3 Upper Tier systems in the United States and in Israel to meet Israel’s defense requirements consistent with each nation’s laws, regulations, and procedures, subject to the U.S.-Israeli co-production agreement for Arrow 3 Upper Tier, as amended, of which $105,000,000 shall be for testing of the upper tier component to the Israeli Missile Defense Architecture in the United States; and $82,300,000 shall be for the Arrow System Improvement Program including development of a long range, ground and airborne, detection suite: Provided further, That the transfer authority provided under this provision is in addition to any other transfer authority contained in this Act.”
Then we have almost another billion dollars for migrants and ‘refugees’, including $7.5 million for Jews migrating to “Israel”.
As if they didn’t already get enough from “Holocaust survivors’ reparations”, etc… Even in 1988 they were being paid $290 monthly for life from the West German government, and then in February 1990 East Germany agreed to pay as well.
The whole thing is like Bernie Madoff not only getting off scot-free (evidently nothing to do with Scots) but also receiving compensation from his victims. And then to add insult to injury, people who never even had anything to do with him are forced to pay compensation too.
