Ungrateful Israel Exists Only Thanks To The United States. by panafrican(op): 4:36am On May 30
The United States has consistently served as Israel’s primary international backer since 1948. This relationship has evolved from early diplomatic recognition into a robust strategic alliance defined by billions of dollars in military aid, advanced technology transfers, and close intelligence coordination.

1. Massive Weapons Airlifts and Resupply Operations
The U.S. has provided critical, emergency weapons transfers during existential conflicts to ensure Israel maintained its military advantage

- The 1973 Yom Kippur War: When Israel suffered heavy armor and aircraft losses, President Richard Nixon ordered Operation Nickel Grass. This massive U.S. military airlift delivered over 22,000 tons of tanks, artillery, and ammunition directly to Israel, which successfully turned the tide of the war, some diplomats who asked not to identified said U.S. troops were involved.

-Modern Conflicts: Following the October 7, 2023 attacks, the U.S. established an extensive airbridge of cargo flights, fast-tracking precision-guided munitions, artillery shells, and interceptors to replenish Israel's depleted stockpiles.

2. Safeguarding the "Qualitative Military Edge" (QME)The U.S. maintains a strict policy to ensure Israel possesses superior military technology compared to any combination of regional adversaries.

- Advanced Aviation: Israel’s entire frontline combat aircraft inventory consists of U.S.-supplied hardware, including F-15s, F-16s, and advanced F-35 stealth fighters.

-Financial Subsidies: Through Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants, the U.S. subsidizes Israel's military budget by roughly $3.8 billion annually, totaling over $174 billion in cumulative assistance. ( Source: Stinson Center).

3. Continuous, Deep Intelligence Sharing ( sources: WSJ, Jewish Virtual Library).
The U.S. and Israel operate a highly integrated intelligence-sharing partnership that spans regional tracking and counter-terrorism ,

-Satellite and Surveillance Tracking: In 1997, Israel was directly linked to the U.S. missile warning satellite system, providing real-time data on incoming ballistic threats.

_ Targeting and Hostage Logistics: During the wars in Gaza, U.S. intelligence agencies opened access to vast data repositories and deployed advanced AI-driven targeting software to assist the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in mapping tunnels and tracking hostile leadership. Without that help Gaza would have be to Israel, what Dien Bien Phu was to France in the 1950s ( a total debacle ).

4. Direct Joint Missile Defense and Technology Co-Development.
( Sources: Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Congress.gov).
Rather than simply selling equipment, the U.S. actively funds and co-develops Israel’s multi-layered air defense network,

- System Funding: The U.S. has poured billions into the development and replenishment of the Iron Dome, Arrow, and David's Sling missile defense systems.

-Laser Technology: Recent U.S. emergency aid packages have specifically allocated over $1.2 billion to help fast-track Iron Beam, Israel's new high-energy laser defense system

5. Official Diplomatic Cover and Naval Deterrence (No "Boots on the Ground".) While the U.S. has strictly avoided putting combat "boots on the ground" to fight Israel’s wars directly, it uses massive military positioning and diplomatic power as an umbrella of protection.
( Source: Council on Foreign Relations).

-Naval Deterrence: During times of high escalation, the U.S. regularly deploys Carrier Strike Groups (such as the USS Gerald R. Ford) to the Eastern Mediterranean. These warships serve as a direct warning to regional powers like Iran and Hezbollah against launching broader campaigns.

-The UN Veto: On the global stage, the U.S. has acted as Israel’s primary shield, using its permanent United Nations Security Council veto power over 40 times to block international resolutions critical of Israeli military operations.

Now guess how Israel rewarded the U.S.:

Military Technology & Other Espionage
Advanced Hardware: Israel has historically engaged in economic and technical espionage to obtain modern military hardware and classified technological blueprints that the U.S. was not readily sharing.

Jonathan Pollard Case: In the 1980s, Jonathan Pollard—a civilian intelligence analyst for the U.S. Navy, was convicted of spying for Israel. He provided massive amounts of classified documents, including highly sensitive manuals on America’s global electronic surveillance network.

The Nuclear Question (The NUMEC Affair)
The Missing Uranium: In the mid-1960s, over 200 pounds of weapons-grade, highly enriched uranium went missing from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) in Apollo, Pennsylvania. Who stole the stuff ? israel.

OP This your analysis is biased. I won't be surprised if a deeper search shows you are Muslim, because they has been a correlation between most Nigerian Muslims and hate for israel, to an extent that they support terrorist groups like Hamas,Hezbollah and IRGC just because of their hatred for Israel(God's own people).

Back to the topic, US relationship with Israel can be best argued as symbiotic relationship, both nations benefit from each other. It might interest you to know that some technological invention that place US at the top of the pyramid was invented by Jews.
So it will make sense that their homeland benefits from the outcome of such innovations.

2. US has been supporting other nations and giving military assistance to them including Gaza, just do a deep search of US military assistance to Israel neighbours, you will understand its US foreign policy military aid, and its not only Israel that benefits, so why single out Israel out.
3. Groups like Hezbollah and hamas are been funded by foreign allies. So do you expect US to abandon their allies?

Theres a reason US is Israel ally and its for assistance. Every nation has ally, Nigeria has historically assisted the Nigerien military through cooperative border security drills, joint patrols, intelligence sharing, and coordinated offensives against transnational threats.etc

Both You and the Zionist are funny.
An IDF element put a cigarette in Virgin Mary Statue 's mouth , then another destroyed the statue of Jesus on the cross, and you the follish
"African Christian" are celebrating.
The terrorists are well-known, they stole somebody's land,
and repay the U.S. in peanuts.
