This comment has been passed around everywhere.
Alison Weir of Veterans News Now pointed out it was the first instance of an Israeli leader saying that U.S. taxpayers contribute more money to Israel's defense budget than Israeli taxpayers.
But the claim seemed fishy to us.
Given that U.S. military aid to Israel was $2.775 billion in 2010, $3 billion in 2011, $3.07 billion in 2012 (and $3.15 billion per year from 2013-2018) while Israel's defense budget is around $15 billion, it made us wonder how much Israeli taxpayers contribute and where the other $12 billion non-U.S. aid comes from.

We should make it 3.35 billion in 2013 by giving Israel the the 2 million were are now giving to the enemy in Egypt.
Give them as much as they want.
They are one country that has never asked or accepted that American soldiers die on their soil.
we need Israel and they need us. we are their friends and they live in an evil area of the world. one little country surrounded by people who want to kill all of them, want to "push them into the sea".
Teh TRUE, actual dollar amount given to Israel is much more than what is listed.
