Would you say the same about Pakistan also then? What are your views on Pakistan as a state, since both these religious states treat the minority religious groups as second-class citizens with much less rights than the religious majority?
Your idea of morality means Israel has no right to self defence. They should just take it. For the last two millenia this has been the case for the jews. Everybody loves a dead jew, it's the ones that stand up and return fire that are unacceptable.
Where did you hear Israel treats minorities like second class citizens. Israeli Arabs make up 20% of the population and are represented in the supreme court, in Parliament, in the media and the IDF. Israeli Arabs are more free and have more rights in Israel than they would be in any other Arab or Muslim country.
This sentence tells me you are definitely either an excellent troll or have graduated with honors from WhatsApp University.
Just one article which shows how much money Israel owes to simply the cotizens of USA alone. And before you say it's "aid", know that no country, much less the USA, is not so naive to simply give $300billion of aid to any country if it doesn't expect something in return (be it intelligence via MOSSAD, technology developed by them, etc).
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and I am not going to engage further with this conversation as this is not going to go anywhere.
What is the purpose of this 'aid' ?
It's not money given out of the goodness of American hearts. It's intent is to put a leash on Israel. Change their mindset from an offensive one which is good for them to a defensive one which is bad. But good from a US standpoint in the backdrop of the cold war chessboard.
The US only appears on the scene after the '67 war.
'48,' 56 & '67 had no US involvement in fact US opposition and Israel came out ahead.
In the 70s this so called aid made up half of the IDF' s budget. These days it's not even a sixth.
Under Obama, basic munitions, tank and artillery shells were offered for free. This means no incentive for local ordinance factories to make the same. The Israelis foolishly agreed to this at the time and have had to scramble to get their domestic lines up.
The Israelis want variants of F15's & F16's. They don't need more. No dice, the coupons they get are only good for F35's. I could go on but you get the idea.
To be an US ally is the equivalent of getting strung out on drugs. First few hits are free...
The US also gives aid to the Pals. The police force in Judea & Samaria are funded, armed and trained by the US. Can't say that money went to good use. Nobody ever talks about it.
