U.S. Foreign aid is giving out to many developing countries around the world. Israel is being among one of the most countries receiving billions of aid annually.

The U.S. needs plenty of money for its own residents, land, infrastructure, etc.
Why not STOP giving aid to foreign countries (Especially those who hates us) rather than keeping them here?

Sorry, but who cares what is going on in Israel and rest of the Middle East. It is none of our business.
We may support them by prayers and peace, but NOT with our money coming mainly from TAXPAYERS!

Egypt receives just as much foreign aid as Israel. The USA is obligated to give financial aid to Egypt as well as Israel as part of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty.

Israel and Egypt are NOT in North America, nor is it our business what is going on there.

President Carter helped with the signing of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. Why don't you ask him rather than me?

We should let the Entire Middle East stew in its own juices! We have nothing to gain and everything to lose in that area.

Foreign aid needs to stop. Why are we supporting other countries, especially wealthy ones like Israel?

Maybe we should do away with everything Carter touched and his mini-me obama too.

Carter bartered it.The US gets their own slice out of the treaty. The treaty is like a contract, why don't you read it and see if there is an escape clause for the US to get out of it?
