The Poles aren't the "chosen ones", so the RINO race baiters won't want to give you any money.

Darn..Poland could've used some missile defense systems and F-35 fighters too. You can't trust the Russians as neighbors, they've invaded Poland about four times in the last 200 years

Poor Jews...

For 2000 years they MAKE money for so many nations & still they are squeesed by so many...
I thought Americans paid Taxes, how many other countries bare we taxing. Poles, Italians, Irish

No Foriegn Aid until the deficit is GONE

To a certain extent,since Americans are a new nation,composed by people who - supposedly - leave their previous nationalty & - - supposedly accept their new,American,nationality,u may regard as a courtesy to their countries of origin a certain portion of the "foreign aid "...
Of course,the primary factor is their pro-americanism & Israel is the most pro-amer country,more than Britain...

Tell your Israel, we couldn't care less. We've our own country to govern. We don't want you to be pro-American just because you expect billions in hand outs every year.

Please explain what they have done for America, with "their pro-americanism"
What are we getting in return for those 3 billion?

This whole discussion is a moot point--because in the end Israel usually gets what they want from us. Sure we might scold them about a settlement or two or tell them to wrap up their latest invasion of Lebanon promptly, but full support of Israel is one of the third rails of Ameican politics. Just like military spending, most politicians don't want to touch that one with a ten-foot-pole.

Just try to play nice Israel and you'll get your shiny new jet fighters...courtesy of the American taxpayers.

Well I for one - will start asking politicians to start touching that ten-foot-pole instead of the tiny one in between their legs
