problem is, prior to Israel's creation in 1948, we didnt have any enemies in that region

Answer 1

ask our gov.

Answer 2

I think my money is going to Abu Dabi.

Answer 3

America gives Israel billions of dollars a year so where does that money come from ? Yes from the taxes that Americans pay and as oil carries some tax so the answer to your question has to be YES

Answer 4

Is that where your nearest gas pump is?

Answer 5

No. They are an important ally. Who do you think will take care of Iran if they become too dangerous?

Answer 6

I pay for gas.

Answer 7

No, I don't think so.

But they get billions and billions of dollars in aid every year courtesy of the US taxpayer.

They also get oil from the re-opened 1948 oil pipeline:

Answer 8

Well, our gas is taxed, so our government gets our taxes, and then gives money to Israel, so the answer should be yes....

Answer 9

Israel has nothing to do with the current price of oil. We do give them military grants much of which they spend in the US/

Answer 10

No

The government  uses the $$from gas taxes to insure that you and your family can access police, fire, medical assistance, also recieve a free education and opportunity to select a career of your choice...

Congress also allows us to pay for their pork projects and their vacations (fact finding overseas travel junkets), their transportation (car services,limos, planes trains,) their medical insurance ,and whatever pay raise they dictate.

The nation aslo employs a foreign service/diplomatic corp. These folks use our $$ to foster trade /mutual cooperation and work to establish treaties and agreements that are in our nation's interests.
