Can someone please explain to me (as a non-american) why the losing party does not have to pay legal fees? In Israel if someone sues you and they lose they have to pay (up to a reasonable amount) for your lawyer and legal representation.

The fact you can "shake down" someone through suing them in the US is appalling and I am sure there is a good reason for it but I have not been able to understand it.
