We can't have healthcare for all yet we'll give $40 billion to Israel

57. In answer to your question, Rosa -- they almost get free higher education . . .

From Wikipedia (emphasis added):

After secondary education, students are generally conscripted into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), but may request a postponement of the conscription date to study at a pre-service Mechina, or in a college or university. Those who study in a university at this stage generally do so under a program called atuda, where the tuition for their bachelor's degree is paid for by the army. They are however obliged to sign a contract with the army extending their service by 2–3 years.

Universities generally require a certain amount of bagrut matriculation units (as well as a certain grade average) and a good grade in the Psychometric Entrance Test, which is similar in many respects to the American SAT. All of Israel's nine public universities, and some of its colleges, are subsidized by the state, and students pay only a small part of the actual cost of tuition.

Again, quite the scam. They've a population maybe 20% the size of California and we provide them military aid greater than 15% of their GDP. They then use this money to offset their expenses for universal health care and heavily subsidized higher education (among other perks). There's more involved, of course, but there it is . . .
