It's a small, immensely powerful, nuclear-capable nation rich in tech resources that can offer the US a lot of proprietary technology in exchange for diplomatic protection from a horde of scum vultures who would love to erase it from existence. It 100% makes sense as an ally for the United States on a purely pragmatic level.
If Israel is such an "immensely powerful, nuclear-capable nation rich in tech resources", why do we have to keep giving it monetary aids?
Those "monetary aids" are essentially stipends for purchases of American military technology.
How many Americans died from rationing insulin last year, again?
That's an issue mainly to do with the immense power Pharma has over the US. You, as an uninsured tourist could get American-made drugs much cheaper in Europe. Insulin is, in some places, even 2, 3, or 4 times cheaper, because the politicians aren't as influenced by
lobbyists bribes, and have more bargaining power.
Still, definitely a disgrace for "the richest country in the world", especially considering Insulin is an ancient drug, and "but my research costs" doesn't really cut it.
More money would simply be pouring water into a leaking cup. You don't need more water, you need to plug the oversized pharma profit holes.
You know someone is too far gone when they say that not having to ration insulin is a Corbynite position.
American "left": Surely they could just make do with one dose every 7 days?
European right: what the f**k
