Agreed-but to me giving BILLION$ to such rich nations like Israel and Saudi Arabia is the most egregious offense of all-especially when our own country is in such terrible shape.

And our agreement with Israel only fuels the military industrial complex and War, Inc.

But, yes we must focus on The United States NOW or NEVER.

Now that raises the question of what is the point of bombing a location a rocket was fired from. That is sort of like a hunter shooting at the place a deer used to be.

Given that Israel didn't bomb this place, it's safe to assume they know the difference between a mobile rocket launch site and a more permanent installation.

I am not certain we are giving any aid to Saudi. We are paying for military bases we rent/lease from Saudi.

Saudi itself spends a lot on foreign aid to other Nations.

Saudi foreign assistance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the 1970s Saudi Arabia has provided foreign assistance to many countries and organizations.

Between 1976 and 2006, Saudi developmental aid amounted to USD49 billion,[1] second only to the United States of America. The ODA/GNP ratio averaged 4.2% over this period, well above the highest amount provided by Development Assistance Committee countries (the DAC average is 0.35%).[2] On a per-capita basis, the country is the biggest worldwide donator though the aid has only been given to Muslim countries.[1
