Stop blaming the Israelis for this. We have been using them as a beachhead in the region for 60 years. They are fighting for their existence, we are financing to remain a presence.
Additionally, If Iraq is a success then Israel won't be as important.
Still it doesn't surprise me that lefties have no problem with the collapse of democratic societies.
How did Israel come into existence? Terrorist attacks perhaps? By illegally immigrating to Palestine perhaps?
A beach head? Have we launched any attacks on anyone from Israel?
How has Israel repaid our generosity? Spying? Selling the stolen secrets to countries less than friendly to the USA? Attacked a US naval ship? Oh and the ever popular buildinf settlments in areas of land that isn't theirs by treaty. With a Friend like Israel who needs enemies.

WW2 doesn't happen, Israel doesn't happen. Simple as that.
Those would be the same "American taxpayers" who are now being told that they have to suffer cuts in Medicare and Social Security because of budgetary constraints, who are watching as the most basic social services (the hallmark of being a developed country) are being rapidly abolished (from the 12th Grade to basic care for children, the infirm and elderly), and are burdened with a national debt so large that America's bond ratings are being degraded by the minute. Why should those same American taxpayers bear the enormous costs of Israel's military purchases (as Israel enjoys booming economic growth)? Especially if the issue is presented as cleanly and honestly as Scherer did here, and especially if Israel continues to extend its proverbial middle finger to even the most basic U.S. requests that it cease activities that harm American interests, how much longer can this absurdity be sustained?
we jus spent a trillion dollars on health care what is 3 billion
I think you are missing the point. Delaware is part of the United States...Israel is not! Cut them off. Cut off all foreign aid. Israel should be paying us.
Nope, he's not missing the point.
He's saying the same thing you are.
we should not further increase our almost unsustainable debt level and degrade our bond rating for a country that blew up one of our own ships and spies on us.
During Fiscal Year 2009, the U.S. is providing Israel with at least $7.0 million PER DAY in military aid. can anyone contemplate what 7.0 million dollars per day means in american labor output?

we just spent one trillion dollars and you become concerned for 3 billion. If we cut off all foreign aid to all countries then we can save money.

Agreed. Universal cut off is a good thing. Of course I've heard one nitwit once say we should cut off aid to everyone BUT Israel. Israel has a healthy, vibrant economy. Time to let that grown up play with the others.

we do not have our economy under control we need to stop all foreign aid.
