Neighborhood Bully Lyrics

Cover art for Neighborhood Bully lyrics by Bob Dylan

Reading this lyric makes me think that the 3 Billion a year that the US send a year in Military aid is not really appreciated or acknowledged

"Well, he got no allies to really speak of What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied"

The 3 billion is not charity - most of it is loan guarantees that Israel spends on AMERICAN products. It is more like a coupon that a company gives out to a customer than charity. And Israel, by the way, provides a lot of benefits to the US - technological and economic cooperation that outpaces many other countries, quality intelligence, etc. Israel is a very valuable ally to any of its allies.

You misread the lyrics. If you read the phrase afterwards, he says: 'but no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side', which is very true, not even the americans ever sent troops to help Israel in combat. I'm not downplaying the 3 billion dollars in aid, in fact I and my country are very grateful for it, but you do know that that money is supposed to buy weapons from the US again, so indirectly the money returns to them...

@sansworld What kind of rubbish is that? The US has sent huge forces to the Mid East on behalf of Israel who want Iraq and Syria knocked out. Israel is a racist state. Stop your Jew run mainstream media lies. People are waking up to this shameful charade Israel plays.
