Basically, the Likudnik government in Israel is a big welfare teat for the weapons industries. We the taxpayers see our money taken not to improve living conditions at home directly, but to subsidise selected harmful (weapons-making) industries by way of “aid to Israel”. Now, this helps the people who own those industries and are invested in them and work for them, but it doesn’t help the rest of us any — not like it would if it were invested in our health care system, or schools, libraries, public transit, carbon reduction.

  1. Be a politicians, have friends who work in arms manufacturing.

  2. Send aide in the form of money, taken from tax payers, to a different government.

  3. That government uses your donated taxes to buy arms from your buddy.

  4. Your now rich friends make your life easier with their freshly laundered money.
