Funny, all criticism of Israel, none towards any other recipient of foreign aid.

NOT True, I said hang asign out "Sorry, we're Broke", that went for everybody. Why borrow money to give it away. No foriegn aid until the deficit is gone

Hurrah,another soft antisem thread...

Like I wrote in..other similar threads,the Jews in USA pay...tons of $$$ in all kinds of taxes...
It is only fair to hypothesize that a portion of THAT money is transferred to Israel as foreign aid...


Poor Jews...

For 2000 years they MAKE money for so many nations & still they are squeesed by so many...

Considering Israel GETS 1/3 of ALL foreign aid I think it justifies criticism. But I criticize any foreign aid that is
not justifiable - it's a long list

Considering Israel recieves almost $3 billion a year I believe it's a justifiable concern. For comparison, all Sub-Saharan African nations only recieved $4.5 billion total in US aid in 2008.

Until we occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel was far and wide the largest recipient of US aid. Between them and Egypt, the two nations annually made up 1/3 of our total foreign aid. We've been buying off the Egyptians since Camp David in 1978...The majority of which goes to paying for their military as safeguard for keeping Mubarak in power.

So yeah let's cut back aid for a lot of these nations. We can't subsidize these countries at a point when providing services to American citizens is such a point of contention.

ROFL--You're joking right?
