60% of
Americans Believe US Foreign Aid to Israel is “Much Too much, Or Too
Much” - 3/11/2017
When informed of its relative size and sponsor, 60 percent of Americans
believe that US foreign aid to Israel is either “much too
much, or too much”.
They respond this way after they are informed that
it has been around 9% of the total U.S. foreign aid budget.
This is information that Gallup and the World Affairs Council
leave out, letting Americans retain their preconceptions
about relative aid levels. This more detailed question,
however, will have to change in future polls since the Trump
administration proposes cutting much of the US State
Department aid budget to other countries while leaving aid
to Israel untouched.
Question: Israel & its US lobby demand & receive over $3
billion annually (9% of the foreign aid budget and more than
any other country) from Congress and the president. The
amount is:
