That is true. And 90% of the aid given to Israel according to federal government sources in the U.S. is in the form of military aid. Looking at Africa, just think what $3.1 billion in civilian aid could do in countries where modern infrastructure and education are in dire need. Instead, we ("we" be the government and AIPAC lobbyists) give Israel hundreds of millions to dollars to maintain a lop-sided front in the Middle East by building more weapons to fight people who cannot defend themselves, while Africa gets what amounts to pennies in aid. Shameful.
