Where are all the pro-Israel people?
I think it's unusual that they are not eager to provide examples of Israel's and AIPAC's gratitude.

America bends over backwards to please Israel.
For all this help how much has Israel (and AIPAC) thanked America?
Anyway, you hate them and don't think they should exists, so what's the point?
Did Pakistan ever say thank you, or you specialize in Israel's policies exclusively?

One thing about AIPAC and Israel, they have not tried to kill Ameicans for being Americans. They have not taken Ameicans hostage and pushed them off a ship.


That cannot be said of the Palisinians.... and those people get TONS of mone from us too.

Palistine is the real problem. it is time to end Palistine.

No examples of Israel's and AIPAC's gratitude? Why?

What countries have lobbed 'missiles' into Israel?

And how many deaths have there been from those rockets? <30 since 2001.

How many people were killed in December 2008 when Israel cluster-bombed Gaza while Israelis had picnics on the countryside? Nearly a thousand.


What's disgusting is groups like AIPAC - comprised of Jewish-Americans - put Israel first, and the country they hold citizenship second. It's almost as if they are using us. Lobbyist groups should not be able to lobby on behalf of foreign countries, especially when they are composed of Americans (with dubious loyalty).

The 'Palisinians' are living in a dirt poor occupied territory.

Israel is a first world country with a high standard of living. And Palestine gets almost nothing compared to the billions of dollars we've given Israel for decades thanks to the Jewish-American lobbies who put Israel first, America second.

Isn't that what the arrested isreali citizins said when arrested by the hoboken police on 9/11

According to ABC’s 20/20, when the van belonging to the cheering Israelis was stopped by the police, the driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers:
"We are Israelis. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are your problem." (ABC News 20/20)

Ok, I think we've established that Israel does diddly squat for its long-suffering, penniless (largely because of them) Mom (the US) as the AIPAC hacks on this board have been stumped by the OP's question.

Let's be more positive: what could Israel and the AIPAC do in the future for the US? How about American (non-Jewish) citizens taking advantage of free, universal health care in Israel (funded by the US taxpayer). Israel could even limit the non-Jewish Americans to Christian fundamentalists who support Israel rabidly (well, at least up until its destruction in the Rapture) and don't personally have health insurance because it's a Commie plot.

Israel could offer free flights on its US-taxpayer paid military planes to Americans who don't have health insurance. They could fly them over, treat them, hospitalize them and them fly them back home when they're well. How about it, AIPAC? That'd help with your PR. Ball's in your court.
