We gave Israel a $38 Billion aid package in September and you're concerned about $221M to one of the poorest areas on the face of the earth?

It's stolen loot and unless it goes back to its rightful owners (a.k.a tax victims), it's all wrong

Because Palestinians hate us, want us all dead and cheered so enthusiastically when the World Trade Center towers came down. Makes sense, right?

Have you bought Bullets at Walmart lately? They're not cheap and 221M doesn't go as far as it used to.

Which concerns you more, the guy who stole the change out of your car, or the guy who stole your car?

Your argument is nonsense, its equating billions with millions.

221 million buys A LOT of concrete for lining tunnels oops I mean rebuilding their homes.

I have a problem with aiding a nation (Palestine) that it's leaders are members of a terrorist organization.

Israel is not a terrorist organization, they are just overly defensive when they kill off a few hundred Palestinians defending their country. It's just collateral damage.

Funny, but I'm talking about the Palestinians.
