Jesus Was the First ProtestantI gave youHave there been any rockets fired from the west bank?Tell us one thing the Palestinians contribute to the US with all the money they get, compared to the contribution the US gets from Israel.The U.S. share of that was about $8.2 billion, according to the OECD. (The State Department, under a broader definition of aid, recordsU.S. assistance to the West Bank and Gaza as totaling $9.1 billion since 1988.Further complicating matters, these per-capita figures for the Palestinians may be too high because of possible double-counting. The OECD data set does not clarify whether the member states’ contributions include only bilateral aid to the West Bank and Gaza, or if they also include member states’ contributions to European Union institutions that are designated for aid to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
So we will stick with $398 per capita as a rough estimate for aid to the Palestinians. The only other source we found was the (admittedly dated) 2004 Palestinian territories Human Development Report, which calculated $310 per person, “considered one of the highest levels of aid in the world.”
Israel used to receive a lot of economic aid from the United States until Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut a deal in 2007 to convert it all to military aid. Using non-inflation-adjusted dollars, the Israelis received $34.2 billion in economic aid from the United States between 1946 and 2007, according to calculations by the Congressional Research Service. (Note: an earlier version of this article incorrectly described the CRS calculations as constant dollars.) A CRS spokesman said that in constant (inflation-adjusted) 2017 dollars, the figure would be $68.9 billion.
(Germany also has been a major contributor to Israel’s economy in the years after its founding, mostly in the form of reparations said to be worth between $32 billion and $60 billion to Israel and its citizens. But to keep it simple, we will focus on U.S. contributions.)
The Palestinians, meanwhile, have received about $37.2 billion in development aid (in constant dollars) between 1994 and 2017, according to the OECD. The U.S. share of that was about $8.2 billion, according to the OECD. (The State Department, under a broader definition of aid, recordsU.S. assistance to the West Bank and Gaza as totaling $9.1 billion since 1988.) Some Arab donations are included but the OECD database does not reflect, for instance, Qatar’s contributions to Gaza, which totaled $1.1 billion between 2012 and 2018 with the approval of the Israeli government.
You like to play gotcha. You are a fan of anyone who will punish the Jews for not following Jesus.Do you agree with it?You get that quote from Palestinian, etc sources. Share it with us."The predatory Islamic beasts will see that as a sign of weakness and a signal to attack."You do prefer authoritarian dictators like Erdogan, Putin, Castro, North Korea's, Venezuela's, and many others who are in Muslim governments to the Democratically elected in a Democratic Country.A Jewish fascistWithout Likud, the Jews Are LickedI find this rather interesting:
Arabs and Jews in Israel unite against Netanyahu and occupation
After an 11-day war that killed more than 240 Palestinians and 12 Israelis, a fragile ceasefire between the right-wing government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Islamist Hamas militants that rule Gaza took hold early Friday morning.www.peoplesworld.org
The predatory Islamic beasts will see that as a sign of weakness and a signal to attack.
The reason: He is Jewish, as were all the ones before him, and will be after him.
Do you agree with this fascist?
In your mind, the Muslims are your heroes because they are doing exactly what Christianity has been doing for 3 centuries longer than Islam.
Starting from Abraham, the Jews were already saved. Jesus was sent to save the rest of us. But the hereditary ruling classes, who also took over Christianity's hierarchy, needed a scapegoat to distract cowardly peasants from the lords' own crimes, so they blamed the Jews in general for the Crucifixion when it was really the High Priests and the Romans who should have been blamed.
"Anti-Semitism" has little to do with the Jews; it is a cover-up for Birth-Class Supremacy. It also shows the cowardice of the plebeians for not overthrowing the clear and present tyranny and transferring blame to invisible behind-the-scene conspiracies. Even the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are actually focused on discrediting democratic movements by simply saying that those are Jewish conspiracies and the ruled shouldn't believe their democratic merits are even worth discussing because "the Jews run them and any change will benefit only the Jews."
