IRAQ THE JEWS WAR: Cost of Israel to the United States of America

The cost of foreign aid to Israel varies depending on who is doing the counting. And there is a lot that cannot be counted because it is secret and the records won't be released for another 20 years. Estimates vary from the conservative figure of 91 billion to 1.6 Trillion (1,600 Billion).

Since 1973, Israel has cost the United States about $1.6 trillion. If divided by today’s population, that is more than $5,700 per person.

Even more mind-boggling are the per capita outlays, based upon statistics from the Population Reference Bureau of Washington, DC. In mid-1986, the combined population of the sub-Saharan African countries was 568 million, and the per capita foreign aid over the preceding half century was $43. For Latin America and the Caribbean, a population of 486 million, the foreign aid total was $50 per person.

By contrast, Israel’s mid-1996 population was 5.8 million people. The take per Israeli for American foreign aid amounted to $10,775 by 1995. . . .

It is a footnote to the power of Israel’s American lobby that when Israel gives development aid, as it has in Africa, nearly all the money for such programs comes to it in the form of special appropriations from the U.S. Congress.
