Let's compare Israel to a state, let's say Michigan. Michigan has slightly more people, a slightly higher GDP, and thus slightly higher GDP/capita.

By all accounts Michigan feeds it's money back into the U.S. economy, because well it's in the U.S.

Why does it seem like Israel has more support than Michigan? That country China, that everyone bitches about here saying they are our biggest threat... Does twice as much trade with Israel than the U.S.

If Israel can import Chinese products without paying the U.S. government tariffs,

maybe Michigan should be able to as well. After all, the federal government is paying far more money to support Israel than it is Michigan.
