Senators want to change massive new Israel aid package

But if you look at the groups in Iraq and Afghanistan, for example, who have received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from the Obama administration every year, you could not help but note that they have been responsible for many civilian deaths, that seem to go largely unnoticed in those conflicts since they are ostensibly "the good guys".

That is not meant to excuse the fact that the Israeli government is also worthy of criticism in that regard, but, I guess my point is that the US has never really let human rights issues stand in the way of foreign alliances (and we would be hypocritical if we did).
