Meanwhile they have higher GDP per capita than the US. They could just raise taxes and fight their own wars. Why are we giving a richer country aid?

FYI this is not true... US has higher GDP per capita even with PPP measure.

Point still stands tho, Israel provides generous benefits to Israeli* citizens.

In US you get some dick, and say thank you cops haven't shot you as practice!
