The "aid" we give Egypt is nothing but "keep quiet" money TO BENEFIT ISRAEL.
So, the fucking billions ROBBED from the American people to support The Hate State just north is IN ADDITION TO the billions we fork over to Arabs elsewhere. ALL OF IT falls under the heading of "what's good for Israel."
What about what's good for AMERICA?
Oil is what is good for America.
If one rides a bicycle and walks everywhere your thesis has merit.
I drive a car.
Try again. Prior to 1948 or whenever Israel was "born", we were pretty long-leashed in the middle east. Pay off a few sultans, set up the rigs, everybody gets rich. In fact, becoming allies with Israel -- the mortal enemy of Arabs, Muslims and the rest of the middle east -- would be totally counterproductive if oil were the goal.
But it sounds great to the left, so they keep repeating it.
I vote Republican Moe so your "sounds great to the left" is bogus.
Who owned the oil companies in 1948?
How do you "pay off a few sultans" when THEY OWN the oil now?
You believe the Arabs nationalizing the oil in their countries had something to do with Isreal?
LOL, you need a high school history course.
