Why does the US support Israel?
"Support for Israel interferes with: American relations with the oil-producing nations, with whom we previously had friendly ties; with Muslim consumers, who represent 1.2 billion people world-wide; and removes much-needed money from domestic American requirements — tax revenues that could be addressed to domestic needs are instead sent abroad
to prop up a system of discrimination that is antithetical to American principles of equality and democracy.
"In addition, the ‘special relationship’ between the U.S. and Israel is increasingly imperiling American lives.
Why, then, is this done? Close examination of the history and current situation reveals that U.S. policies in the Middle East are rarely driven by U.S. interests. Rather, they are largely driven by two very different factors..."

Are you short on money again by showing us the dollar sign, Gaza George? Get out of your tiny subsidized apartment and leave your neighborhool mainly populated with people from Central America, many who are here illegally and, therefore, can't vote. Go to different neighborhoods in your city and speak to other Americans and see what they say. After all, they are the ones who are electing members of Congress, and if they don't like what Congress is going, their representatives will be voted out. As for tax money, which of course you don't pay any taxes, it has been figured that about $3.00 per American taxpayer goes to Israel. Do you know what a Whopper or Big Mac costs these days, Gaza George? Meanwhile, most of the money that is allocated for Israel is money that must be spent here in our own defense industries, giving jobs to American workers. You know what an American worker is, don't you Gaza George? It is a person who works hard for his weekly paycheck and is not looking to get subsidized housing.

"Most Americans are not aware how much of their tax revenue our government sends to Israel.
"For the fiscal year ending in September 30, 1997, the U.S. has given Israel $6.72 billion: $6.194 billion falls under Israel's foreign aid allotment and $526 million comes from agencies such as the Department of Commerce, the U.S. Information Agency and the Pentagon.
"The $6.72 billion figure does not include loan guarantees and annual compound interest totalling $3.122 billion the U.S. pays on money borrowed to give to Israel.
"It does not include the cost to U.S. taxpayers of IRS tax exemptions that donors can claim when they donate money to Israeli charities. (Donors claim approximately $1 billion in Federal tax deductions annually. This ultimately costs other U.S. tax payers $280 million to $390 million.)
"When grant, loans, interest and tax deductions are added together for the fiscal year ending in September 30, 1997, our special relationship with Israel cost U.S. taxpayers over $10 billion.
"Since 1949 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $83.205 billion.
"The interest costs borne by U.S. tax payers on behalf of Israel are $49.937 billion, thus making the total amount of aid given to Israel since 1949 $133.132 billion.
"This may mean that U.S. government has given more federal aid to the average Israeli citizen in a given year than it has given to the average American citizen.
