US seen awarding Israel largest ever aid package - Globes
US Senate Foreign Relations Committee is currently discussing a bill to give Israel one of the most generous aid packages it has ever received: The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012. If the bill is passed, as it almost certainly will be, Israel will receive, among other things, refueling aircraft and "special" munitions; it will have access to pictures from US spy satellites; and the administration will open US air space for Israel Air Force exercises. Washington will also extend the US loan guarantees to Israel until 2015, "Defense News" reports in its latest edition.
An almost identical bill has already been passed by the House of Representatives. The bill, described as unprecedented in its scope by "Defense News", reflects the bipartisan support for Israel in both houses of the US Congress, and this support is growing as the November US presidential elections approach.
A pro-Israeli source told "Globes" yesterday that the new legislative initiative should be seen against the background of the agreement with Iran expected to be reached by the US and other countries on curbing Iran's nuclear arms project. "This bill has received the blessing of the Obama administration, which sees it as a conciliatory gesture towards Israel in advance of the agreement with Iran, about which Israel has already begun to express reservations," the source said. He said that the military elements of the bill had been discussed in the meeting between Israel's minister of defense, Ehud Barak and his US counterpart Leon Panetta in Washington last week.
The new bill is in addition to the $1 billion for the missile defense system Israel is developing with the US, the $3.1 billion in regular annual military aid (both amounts for the 2013 fiscal year), and $70 million for procurement of Iron Dome rocket interception batteries (for the 2012 fiscal year).
Various versions of the bill before the Senate include sections stating that the policy of the US is to support Israel's right of self-defense and to veto any one-sided anti-Israeli resolutions in the UN Security Council. They also mention support of Israel in efforts to reach a resolution, based on negotiations, of its conflict with the Palestinians, and encouragement of Israel's neighbors to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. None mentions the longstanding opposition of the US to expansion of Jewish settlement on the West Bank and in East Jerusalem.

U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel: 2012 Congressional Report
U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel: 2012 Congressional Report Journalist's Resource: Research for Reporting, from Harvard Shorenstein CenterAmong the highlights of the report are:
* To date, the United States has provided Israel $115 billion in bilateral assistance. It is currently the second largest recipient of aid worldwide, with Afghanistan now first.
* The fiscal year 2013 budget request includes $3.1 billion in Foreign Military Financing [FMF] for Israel and $15 million for refugee resettlement. Within the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Missile Defense Agencys FY2013 budget request includes $99.8 million in joint U.S.-Israeli co-development for missile defense.
* In January 2013, if the provisions in the Budget Control Act of 2011 hold and 8.5% of most discretionary spending is cut, the annual aid to Israel, if not exempted, would be reduced by roughly $263.5 million.
* In 2007, the Bush Administration signed a 10-year, $30 billion military aid package that raises Israels annual FMF grant from $2.55 billion to $3.1 billion.
* The United States and Israel announced in 2010 that Israel will purchase 19 F-35s, the fifth generation stealth aircraft considered to be the most technologically advanced fighter jet ever made, at a cost of $2.75 billion. They will be paid for entirely using FMF grants . As part of the F-35 deal, the United States agreed to make reciprocal purchases of equipment from Israels defense industries estimated at $4 billion.
* In 2012 Israels portion of the total FMF account of the U.S. was 60%. Sixteen separate annual FMF grants to Israel represent 18-22% of the overall Israeli defense budget.
* The value of the U.S. materiel stored in Israel increased to $800 million in 2010 and is expected to rise to $1.2 billion. By agreement, Israel may ask for permission to use these arms and equipment, and the country drew on these reserves in its 2006 conflict with Hezbollah.
* Over the past several years, the United States has sold Israel several variants of smart, bunkerbuster bombs that could be used to strike buried targets, including the GBU-28 Hard Target Penetrator, a 5,000 pound-class smart bomb that can penetrate up to 20 feet of concrete.
* In non-military aid, between 1973 and 1991, the United States gave $460 million for resettling Jewish refugees in Israel. Annually, this figure has been between $12 million and $80 million.
Nice language, blatherskite..You are completely full of shit! So fuck you and that garbarge!False.
To be fair, Gaza is (one of), the worlds largest open air islamist terrorist enclaves in the world.
The illegal and immoral blockade (the attempt at melodrama didnt work real well), was to halt weapons smuggling weapons bought and paid for with welfare money by the Pals UN funded welfare agency. Its a shame. With luxury malls, luxury cars, theme parks, etc., being built / purchased by the Poor, oppressed Palestinians, some people are still duped into believing that Arab ineptitude and incompetence is the fault of others.
After decades of UN funding for an islamist terrorist enclave, here we are, unable to pacify the inherently belligerent and bloodthirsty islamist organizations that are as much at war with each other as with Israel.
Let's not forget that with the vast sums of money heaped upon the "Palestinians", there are huge fortunes to be won and lost. Just ask Suha Arafat. They desperately need an external enemy to direct "Muslim Rage" toward. And in the Arab/Islamist mindset, Israel is always a convenient scapegoat to displace Arab incompetence.
Many approaches to peaceful co-existence have been tried. But the fact remains that since 1948, after numerous wars of aggression initiated (and lost) by Arabs, "Peace Partners", agreements, accords and resolutions, the world has apparently forgotten that as per the roadmap to nowhere, the "Palestinians" agreed to get their Islamic terrorism/jihad problem under control. That simply hasn't occurred.
If Israel wanted peace, they'd end their illegal occupation of Palestinian land and that illegal and immoral blockade that was started because the Israeli's didn't like who the Palestinian's in Gaza chose to represent them.
The blockade has created a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportions and inhuman fuckers like you just make it worse.
Fend crazy egyptians off? With all that chinese money lost they may become "economic refugees".One day the American people will say enough is enough, and what will poor israel do next?Does that bother you?

CBS pulls down billboards calling for end to US aid to Israel
CBS pulls down billboards calling for end to US aid to Israel | MondoweissTwo weeks back we reported on 23 billboards being put up in the Los Angeles area calling for an end to aid to Israel. The ads have been torn down by the billboard operator, CBS Outdoor, which is part of CBS, the media giant. The Stop $30 Billion organization sent out this email:
On June 11 the Coalition to Stop $30 Billion to Israel had 23 billboards erected in Los Angeles and surrounding cities with the message "Tell Congress: Spend our Money at Home, Not on the Israeli Military" over an American flag background. The billboards were contracted to run for four weeks, and we were preparing to put more up in other spots around the city. We were thrilled. L.A. had never seen a campaign of this size devoted to this issue. That win fell apart just one week later when the billboard company--CBS Outdoor, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation-- took all our billboards down.
They sent a curt email telling us they were canceling our contract and refunding our money because "your organization has used the CBS Outdoor name without permission" in email messages and in our petition thanking CBS for putting up the billboards in the first place. Needless to say, this was a punch in the stomach.
