FYI - we actually loan and grant them billions each year ($3 billion recently) in both economic and military aid - totally about 1/6th the total US foreign aid budget) and then unlike every other country we loan military aid dollars to, we do NOT exercise controls over how they spend the money.Quote from hoodooman:
We give Israel billions each year to buy weapons from our defense industry
Quote from hoodooman:
Were you around when President Truman interceded with Prime Minister Atlee to allow the eastern european jews to immigrate to Palestine?
And shortly after this exodus were you around to see exactly what happened to the Palestinians because of what was suppose to be a purely humanitarian effort by the British and Americans where both sides were expected to live in peace with each other?
If you were around and saw what happened you would know exactly what to do about this problem.
Had we resettled these unfortunate refugees into America and perhaps to a desolate area like the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, they would all have been assimilated and there wouldn't be enough jews there now to hold a bridge tournament.
That was and still is the answer to the problem except no american president has ever has the guts to say it out loud.
We give Israel billions each year to buy weapons from our defense industry while we "mediate" a conflict between one opponent which uses our latest aircraft, tanks, artillery and guided missiles to make war against another who have hardly more than C4 explosives strapped to their bare bodies to throw against them.
What we must have is a president who will stop this conflict soon or the next holocaust may include all of us.
