It doesn't matter who wins. Israel will get additional funding either way. The unknown factor is how much. Thus is can be done now or can be done during the 10 year review in the end of 2017.
True! 80% of our U.S. Senator's receive money from the 75+ Jewish lobby groups!
yeah, how do you feel about all the Palestinian olive groves
that fall to the ever-encroaching Israeli bulldozers for illegal settlements ?
Does "Israel" do anything wrong in your eyes, has it ever ?
And of course you believe the U.S. should keep feeding them billions,
regardless of need. Are you a Jewish Supremacist ?
There are untold number of American Jews opposed to Israeli policies, but too scared to speak out. There are Jews within Israel that are opposed to Israeli policies, and, over there, they're free to speak out, without reprimands, but not here in the U.S.
Yes, you can be opposed to certain Israel policies and not be labeled anti-Semite!
When the hell did anyone receive that? We've spent TRILLIONS in the Middle East since 9/11 and BILLIONS more each and every day.
The US needs to cut all economic ties-with Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, etc. and LEAVE the region for good.
The economic treaty with Israel does NOTHING for Americans or Israelis-it's yet another welfare program for war corporations and war profiteers. END IT NOW!
NO MORE WAR!
The ONLY places the US has spent TRILLIONS in the Middle East has been in Iraq and Afghanistan. Syria has cost the US in excess of $8 BILLION (and growing daily) in a little over a year, yet there is not one thread related to it. The culmination of funds to all the other countries in the Middle East pales during the same time period. Israel, unlike the other countries gets no economic aid at all. Their aid subsidized the US Military sector as currently 76% of it is required to be spent in the US. The next package is 100%.

There are anti-Israel Jews who speak out in the US. They have freedom of speech like everyone else Its just the pro-Israel Jews tend to drown them out at 9:1. They show up at every Israel parade or gathering in the US along with the myriad of Palestinian groups who also show up.

Really? Show your source. Make sure it lists every Senator, how much they get and from whom. Keep in mind you stated lobby groups and not individuals who are Jewish.

Actually I did start a thread on Syria a while back. And yes, Iraq and Afghanistan were colossal failures for the people-good for those in Government and the War Corporations, but an utter waste of money and human life.

Yep-that's why I say neither Americans or Israelis should support it. For the vast majority of both populations it is just a giant welfare program that helps nobody but the defense industry.
