The United States gives Isreal over $10 million in aid EVERY SINGLE DAY, and our support of them brings tons of hatred and violence down on us.  That little country is like a huge anchor pulling us down.

I'm guessing you have no idea why we pay them so much?
If so, then please explain it for us all to see so we can share your POV.
