Google Survey: Majority of US Citizens Think US Gives Too Much to Israel Washington's Blog
The policy and political implications of this finding are stark.
Elected officials passing ever larger aid packages and supplemental
spending for Israel simply cannot claim they are representing the
majority interests of their constituents. American presidents
proclaiming the U.S.‐Israel bond is “unbreakable” cannot claim such a
bond is willingly underwritten by U.S. taxpayers. The finding also
shines yet more light on Israel lobby organizations as the major factor
coming between most constituents and their representatives and quietly
working to ensure that Israel’s majority share of the U.S. foreign aid
budget continues.
