House Republicans Increase Military Aid To Israel by 33% or 1 Billion Dollars (unemployment, Congress)

[padcrasher]

They now get over 4 Billion per year just in "military aid".

While the USA goes through an economic downturn. Unemployment levels still high. Coming cuts to Social Security.

This passed yesterday by voice vote with many Dems crossing over I'm sure.

Simply pathetic. How corrupt our system is. I'd rank it along side Russia or Ukraine.

That isn't much.


If my math is correct, that's 0.02% of what Obama had added to the national debt in three years.

Since you don't complain about the other 99.98%, should we assume you just hate Jews?

Yes $700 for every Jewish Israeli man, woman and child .....just in military aid.

A family of 5 such as mine, gets $3500 per year of our tax dollars every year.

That isn't much to someone who loves Israel more than his own country. True.

This is ridiculous. How is Israel even still getting aid? They’re a well off nation that should be purchasing their own defense equipment.

Hey thanks for the honesty. If you don't mind, I'd like to offer the forum a list of your posts so they can sort of get an idea of what kind of person would gleefully cheer US tax dollars going to foreigners (let's put aside the fact Israel is a selfish, cruel society) to the tune of $3500 per family of five, per year.

It's basically a money laundering scheme at this point. Send money to Israel, who then funnels some of the money to our defense industry and keeps a bit for themselves.

It's also, of course, a nice excuse to fling accusations of bigotry at your political opponents by accusing them of hating Jews if they don't go along with giving Israel more and more money for no good reason, as we've already seen in this thread.

Do you know how you identify the Israeli haters in Congress these days?

They are the first to sit back in their seat after giving multiple standing ovations to the Israeli Ambassador allowed to give speeches in the Senate chambers.

I'm sure AIPAC has clerks in the room recording who stops applauding first.

These crooks are literally tripping over themselves trying to please Israeli lobbyists.
