How much influence does Israel actually have?

"The U.S. gives Israel a WHOLE LOT of money and support. Why?"  –Ken► Script Sources and Notes: https://shorturl.at/0XFnVCORRECTION:  At 7:11 I say that the U.S. has a base in Egypt. That's not really true. The U.S. has a small military presence there -- about 250 soldiers for various purposes -- but it's not a base in the conventional sense. ADDITION:  I should've gotten into this a bit more, but a large majority -- about 75% -- of the military assistance that the U.S. gives Israel isn't cash, but grants that must be spent 100% on American-made equipment. So in a way it's also a subsidy to U.S. defense contractors. Also, virtually every other country is required to spend 100% of their grants on U.S. weapons.FOLLOW KEN: 🐘► Ken’s Free Newsletter: https://kenlacorte.substack.com► X:  https://x.com/KenLaCorte  ► Business Inquiries:  [email protected]
