Israel does spend a lot of money on American goods though. In fact it spends a lot of American money on American goods[0] in the form of "foreign aid" which is earmarked for US military hardware. It would be a shame to upset that relationship. /s
Won't you think of the MBAs!
> America to miss out on giving money to Israel to give back to America
America[n tax payers] to miss out on giving money [as charitable aid] to [the apartheid regime controlling] Israel to [spend it at] America[n weapons manufacturers].
And in that case it becomes clear why directly from taxpayers to weapons manufacturers is not going to fly: it's too obvious and does not put the weapons where they can be (ab)used!
Israel has a lot of critics that are plainly against its existence, but that does not justify banning any dissent.
