Why is the US still sending an endless supply of arms to Israel without conditions?

The law requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

MONEY. This isn't fucking rocket science.
It kinda is, the US IS sending them rockets.
What money? From whom?
It always amazes me how cheap it is to buy politicians, as compared to how much spending they decide on.
I do think the EU should more heavily invest in bribing USA politicians, especially since it's been legalized. The ROI just seems amazing.
And I wish that I was being sarcastic, but I'm not. EU pro democracy bribes and dark money pac's could be a counter to authoritarian states their dark money/influence projects, helping out the embattled USA democracy. And when the USA fascists see that their pro democracy opponents are receiving as much/more money from slush funds, then they might be more open to the idea of making all bribery illegal again.
It's funny when some of this corruption in the US is brought to light, you envision these huge sums of money, secret bank accounts, etc. Then it's just some loser hiding 10k in gold bars under his bed or some shit.

US taxpayers.
...they already have that money
It's a convenient way to transfer money to arms dealers.
They already have that money
How do you work that out?
He's just a sad troll. I recommend blocking him. Everything I see him say is ridiculous and out of touch with reality.
Military aid is money already apportioned.
No it isn't.
It's discretionary spending in the defense budget

No. Senate Republicans block funding bill that included aid for Ukraine and Israel
But even still, you're just quoting a longstanding mechanism for the transfer of public money to private hands. What do you think that money is?
What are you talking about? There aren't even enough munitions for Ukraine.
Anything we give away is something we could have sold to at least attempt to recoup American taxpayer investment.
I'm not sure why you people keep peddling the narrative that millions, or even billions of dollars in military equipment is worthless.
Sorry, that's a lie. It's because you don't understand what's happening in the world around you. Your comments are testaments to that fact.
There aren’t even enough munitions for Ukraine.
I assure you the US can produce enough weapons to kill every man, woman, and child on this planet many times over.

I don't think it's worthless. I think it's a good use of resources
I assure you the US can produce enough weapons
Who pays for the added production? It's like you're arguing the US has more than enough with weapons it was going to replace anyways, then when that's not actually enough you're trying to make it seem like production is free, too.
I'm not understanding - is it your view that we cannot supply weapons because production is too costly?
Because that's silly. The ROI is absurd here.
