Oh those poor Jews

....with Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid since World War II. Almost all U.S. aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance (helicopter gunships, naval surface to air and surface to surface missiles, tanks, drones, infrared weaponry). Strong congressional support for Israel has resulted in Israel's receiving benefits not available to other countries.[2]

The Iron Dome missle defense system has saved countless lives.

True Lyle. But that is not the bulk of all that aid over the past 40 years.

I guess they don't need aid do they? I mean they are surrounded by friendly countries right?

For what exactly? They developed nuke capabilities via a French nuke physicist in the 1950s. They are estimated to have a minimum of 40 warheads and a max of 200 (whıch I thınk ıs a bıt hıgh). They have had supersonic jets simce the 60s and currently have 29 upgraded F-16s. I wont go ınto the rest of the naval and aerial capacities.
