These people focus on Israel because they are Jew-haters. There are a lot of other countries that receive US aid, a whole lot.
Once again, our tax dollars are better spent at home, trying to right this ship, we don't need to be supporting others countries, let them fend for themselves.. Peace
Me either. It's all scare tactics and propaganda. Plus I'm Canadian so I couldn't care less really. Btw I can't give you any more rep. It says I have to spread it around first. Rain check.
I'm currently watching my local Fox channel news and I find it very informative. It has provided me with the practical information that it's raining here and that the highways are congested. This isn't about Israel, this is about ignorant Americans comparing their minute knowledge of a conflict they aren't close to understanding and a financial relationship between two countries that they undermine. Here, I'll help you out. Think of Israel as a 51st state, not even a territory, but a state.
Yes, and they do not create nearly the amount of animosity toward the US that Israel does. Ditch the victim mentality already. Nobody here hates Jews.
Israel receives far more per capita than any other nation. 77 dollars per person while poor countries get around 3 dollars per person .. just sayin.. http://masbury.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/what-percent-of-us-budget-goes-to-foreign-aid/
This thread can go on and on,so my last post. I agree that the US should be spending it's money within the US on its citizens.The amount of money and resources the US spends and uses WORLDWIDE is the problem.Look at the two trillion dollar aid package to Saudi Arabia+Kuwait as an example.--It was/is called the war in Iraq.The list can go on and on.
Well, in places like the West Bank and Gaza they see that money. It's in the form of rockets and mortar rounds landing on their homes.
I'm pretty sure those are Israeli-founded. Some of the bombs we dropped on Lebanon were from the US though.
i would prefer Israelis never see our dollars as a handout either,nor egypt,russia or any other country. we are drowning in debt yet we keep handing out 100 bucks a year for every man woman and child in america in foreign aid. sorry but i think its time everyone else learn how to stand without us before we fall trying to help them..
