[Raising hand and waving it frantically] Me ... me ... me ... me !!!!

We send Israel money to defend itself ... and they do defend themselves ... without any help from the U.S. beyond the monetary ...

... we send Israel money to defend itself because Israel is a small, free democratic country ... which has been under attack by much larger tyrannical dictatorships.

You see ... that's the American Way ... we don't like to see free people attacked by tyrants ... we help them fight back. And if they can't fight back ... we do the job for them ... as we did in WWI ... WWII ... Korea ... Vietnam ... Grenada ... Kuwait.

Fortunately ... the 6 million Israelis are quite capable of kicking butt against hundreds of millions of their enemies ... so we've never had to do the fighting for them.

There ... that's the answer you were looking for.
