It doesn't seem fair given what Israel gets:
Source: The Congressional Research Services report U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel, written by Jeremy M. Sharp, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs. According to this report, the Obama Administration requested $3.1 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for Israel for the fiscal year 2013. Israel Hayom recently reported that the United States will give Israel $3.4 billion ($9.3 million per day)in defense aid for the fiscal year 2014.
Jesse.... Military aid and business loans are apples and oranges... maybe if there were more business loans the need for military aid would decrease.
