The U.S. already transfers $3.1 billion in taxpayer money every year to Israel — more than any other country by far — but the new agreement Obama is set to sign “significantly raises” that amount, and guarantees it for 10 years.
(see article for map of aid)
In response to this massive windfall, Netanyahu is angry that he is not getting even more. For some time, “Netanyahu was holding out for as much as $5 billion a year.” Also, Israel has been opposed to efforts to direct more of that aid to U.S. military contractors rather than Israeli ones (so this “aid” package is as much a transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to weapons manufacturers in both countries as it is to Israel itself). Moreover, “Israelis are also said to be displeased with a U.S. position that whatever amount of money they agree on will be final and that Israel will not go to Congress requesting more money.”
In the United Nations, there is a seat for Israel ... not "Israel."
I suppose you have an "opinion" about that?
The state of "Israel" doesn't have a monopoly on the noun "Israel",
which has other meanings.
While the majority of nations recognize the Judaic Supremacist State,
many still do not, and many others have only done so in recent years.
It is also important to remember that many states recognize "Palestine",
as an independent state, currently within the boundaries of the Zionist
Entity who stole their land and which refers to itself as "Israel".

As Americans are desperate, half can't even drum up $400 on the spot.
When will enough be enough to do something about it ?
Israel is the single greatest beneficiary of financial and military aid from the US. This has been going on for 70 years.
Unlike other countries that receive financial military aid from the US, Israel is not required to use it to by weapons from the US. They are free to spend the windfall as they please.
I have no problem offering resettlement to all Jewish Isralites and last one out, toss a match.
The Middle East can fight amongst themselves for the ashes.
The main reason the US gives money to all these other countries is basically to bribe them into allowing the US dollar to remain the world currency.
If the US didn't give so much money away these other countries would have no interest at all in holding or buying US dollars. By giving all this money away these countries gladly accept it and want it to remain good so they can spend it and get benefits from its value.
Wouldn't you want a gift of money to have value rather than being given money that didn't have any value?
The whole US dollar is nothing more than a huge Ponzi scheme and they give these dollars away to keep it propped up.
