It's not just the $3-5 billion [[which is actually under estimated) it's the symbolism. Egypt receives the second largest foreign welfare because they agree to keep Palestinians in check for Israel. You can not say that the US negotiates in good faith when it comes to Israel and Palestine. We play favorites in the region and wonder why we're hated. The friend of my enemy is my enemy. Why is a nation that's supposedly developed receiving the largest amount of our foreign welfare?
