    Of the $94 billion in the aid package, $2.5 supports Israeli military operations (plus another $5.2 for missile defense). $9.2 billion is going to Palestine for humanitarian aid. That’s a lot of help for Palestinians. Meanwhile the money to Israel isn’t going to change what they do one way or another. Yeah, $0 would be better than $2.5 but compromise had to be made to pass the rest.
