10. What taxes do Israeli citizens pay for their own defense?

Dec 2012

Many Jewish multi-millionaire's, claim dual citizenship both in Israel and their land-of-birth. They also maintain property/estates in both countries and their children serve the mandatory military service within Israel.
I know this to be true as I know and have met many Jewish families who live within Europe and the USA that this applies.

What concerns me is the example of casino owner Adelstein puts millions into corrupting the US elections, Joe Lieberman, pushes for more funds to support Israel. Then they complain about being overtaxed in the US. There are enough billionaire/millionaire Jews throughout the World along with the individual Israeli citizens who could provide the cost of defending Israel with moral support from the US, that wouldn't cripple our own peoples.

I do not mean this to be offensive and if I am sorry, I am totally open to learn something new.
