So we give Israel around 4 billion a year for aid. But they made an arrangement with our stupid leaders to not call it aid. This way, they can invest it. Instead of using it as aid, they use some of it to invest in the US treasury and other investments, then they collect the interest. 

U.S. taxpayers fund the aid and pay the interest earned on that aid. They don't use the interest revenue for aid. They use it for their government. There is no requirement for Israel to use that interest for aid or humanitarian causes. 

In short, we give them aid , so their government can invest it to collect interest, then U.S. taxpayers fund the aid and pay the interest earned on that aid.

So Americans aren't just paying for their aid, we are also paying them interest on top of the aid. It's subsidy on top of the subsidy.

Israel can rest easy: The spending cuts axe being wielded by US President Donald Trump has so far spared military aid to Israel. Israel is due to receive $3.3 billion under the 2020 budget proposal that the White House sent to Congress yesterday.The aid to Israel is set out in a memorandum of understanding signed by President Obama in his last year in office.The relevant clause in the section “Department of State and Other International Programs” of the budget document states: “The Budget fully supports the U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding and includes $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing grant assistance to bolster Israel’s capacity to defend itself against threats in the region and maintain its qualitative military edge.”
