you just dont get it do you?

If the USA dumps israel, then Israel will feel like it has to go it alone.
If Israel goes it alone, then they will have no choice but to do preemptive attacks, and if needed nukes will not be out of bounds to ensure their survival.

Income tax ( 70% till 1982),estate tax ( 55% till...recently,now at 45% )...
Even as capital gains,the tax was from 35% to 20%...

So,"the Jews" in USA paid dearly for that aid...


No, American citizens pay taxes that are used to finance the interests of America. Attempting to break it down along religious lines is contrary to the separation of church and state.

So they're holding us hostage. And that's friendship?

Isn't that a little stereotypical
Not all Jewish people are rich and they only make up 2.2 percent of our population.

I don't care anymore, I don't believe any of the involved parties have shown a sincere desire for peace in the region. Let 'em at it, they can learn to live together or die together, the US has problems of its own.

As long as they don't drop them on us, it ain't our problem (although it might cause gas prices to go up some)

So says the person who tried to use a link to a website called "Jew Watch" to prove her point.

Funny how liberals here seem to hate Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, but support Palestine, a people of terrorist that even other muslim nations won't take in.
