Since 1974 the purpose of the aid has not been to keep Israel afloat; the deal was that the U.S. aid would ensure Israel military domination of the area, a bribe to keep the Israelis from utterly destroying its enemies
"bribe"? Respectfully, this is one of the most hilarious posts about Israel!
Israel cannot destroy a single one of its neighbors outside of the international borders without crippling itself in any non-nuclear war, especially if Americans don't support Israelis. 1973 was a LONG time ago. A very long time ago.
This kind of rhetoric shows an over-confident mindset. Probably even a racist one which thinks that 'natives' are going to be always armed with bows and arrows. Natives may carry guns in future. And they may outnumber you. And, unlike you, they are willing to die in large numbers. General Custer learned it the hard way.
As to why "Americans" support Israel, I think plenty of answers can be found in the brilliant work called 'The Israel Lobby'. Look it up. Suffice it to say, America's own interests are not best served by the blind support of Israel.
