President Obama repeatedly insists that American foreign policy be conducted with modesty and humility. Above all, there will be no more "dictating" to other countries. We should "forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions," he told the G-20 summit. In Middle East negotiations, he told al-Arabiya, America will henceforth "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating.
"



and later






In his much-heralded "Muslim world" address in Cairo yesterday, Obama declared that the Palestinian people's "situation" is "intolerable." Indeed it is, the result of 60 years of Palestinian leadership that gave its people corruption, tyranny, religious intolerance and forced militarization; leadership that for three generations rejected every offer of independence and dignity, choosing destitution and despair rather than accept any settlement not accompanied by the extinction of Israel.



no truer statement has ever been made.. :clap2::clap2:

If you want him to say he won't dictate to other countries, he will sell you that. If you want him to dicate a two state solution to Israel, he will sell you that, too.
 
The US would best be served by ending involvement in the middleast, both poltically and economically.

No more handouts to arabs and jews, let them settle their own problems.

You don't need to be involved to buy oil.

only if your are willing to see the Jews exterminated again.. You willing to sit by and watch that happen? Remember its a few million against several hundred million..

It seems that the ethnic bigotry is your own if you think it a desire to see Jews exterminated is an intrinsic element of an Arab.
 
Didn't Israel beat Egypt in like 3 days? I think the Jews can handle themselves now.

I always thought the reason we have a close relationship with Israel is because we sell them weapons.

Relax willow, without US money the arbs aern't doing a thing, and Israel has an economy of it's own.

The USA is what feeds the termoil, ity brings massive media coverage, the UN and losts of money to what would otherwise be a piddling territorial despute.

Have you ever noticed how you never hear of the civil war in Sri Lanka? This is an example of the USA NOT involved, ergo nobody on the world's stage cares.

The USA elevated this into the biggest problem in modern times when normally nobody would care.

You're delusional if you don't think many of the Arab countries want to see Israel destroyed. If Israel is destroyed, do you think its people will be just fine and dandy?

Israels economy is dependent on America giving them billions and billions.

Actually that is a myth, they depend on the money to maintain military superiority.

Virtually teh entire economy of states like egypt rely on US dollars to survive, outside of tourism Egypt has no econmomy. In fact, there is not a Muslim state taht has any real industrialization, they all rely on oil, handouts and tourism with the minor exceptions such as Dubai who act as money broker between the two.

like they would even HAVE an economy without a military :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Israel is the single largest recipient of US foreign aid. 3.5 billion per year. They recieve a substantial amount more in grants and loan garauntees. The loans we make to Israel are never repaid. The US congress has forgiven every loan ever made to Israel before repayment, effectively disguising grants as loans.

US aid has been used to build race exclusive housing, the settlements. These homes, not accessable to anyone but Jews, are often offered for free to Jews that we pay to relocate to Israel. These new Israelis get an all expenses paid relocation, travel expenses, housing, education and cash assitance. Don't forgrt, it's for Jews only.

The relocation expenses are paid for without any kind of explanation as to why we only pay for Jews to go to Israel. A US citizen, non Jew, can't get an all expense paid trip to Israel. Every once in a while, Israel doesn't cover it's tracks well enough and we track our money being used for settlements. We do penalize them for this in the equal amount for which we can account is spent on the the settlements.

All in all, if I were an Arab living within shouting distance of Jews getting free relocation, housing, education and cash from the US, I'd be throwing rocks too. But of course, a US paid for tank or missile would be aimed at me and demolish my house. And I can't get a new one for free from the US tax payer. I'd have to be a Jew to get that.

U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel

It's all in the congressional report.

and seal the deal with a POSTAGE STAMP!

No its not! Israel has a GDP of $206.63 bil dollars! She is an industrialized 1st world nation!

The $2.4 billion dollar that Israel gets in aid from the US goes right into her military defense. Israel spends 9% of its GDP in defense (around $15-18 Bil), so the $2.4 B loss would hit would hurt dearly and they would feel it, but it wouldn't kill it. Besides that her economy is AMAZING and she has done that on her own. Stopping US aid wouldn't hurt the economy (granted no wars were waged)!
