Trump just made the greatest speech in the defense of Israel, evar!

So what does Israel do for the United States, that makes you all so pro-Israel?
It's a careless subject for me. Israel has nothing to do with my life.

Quite a bit. The USA and Isreal share intelligence reports, commerce relations, and are very aligned geopolitically speaking. They remain the lone true Democracy in the Middle East.

Many Jews do the climate in Isreal have darker skin and can pass for Arabas. Many also speak Arabic fluently. As such they are perfect spies for the Middle East.

They are also ground zero for Jihad attacks, and offer counter-terrorism ability, in addition to a hedge in case of a major attack.

I'm not a big foreign aid person. We give 3 billion to Pakistan, and they do nothing for us. Isreal, at least, does something for the aid. If Captain America needs aid, I think Isreal and maybe the UK are the only true allies we can count on.
